‘Due in 2025’: Prime Minister on speculations of an early election

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been questioned about whether there’ll be an early election this year.  “We’re not focused on politics ... the election is due in 2025,” Mr Albanese told Sky News Australia.  “What we’re focused on is getting the settings right and turning things around, making a difference to people.”  This comes after Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell revealed on Tuesday night that the Opposition believes there is an early election ahead after Treasurer Jim Chalmers delivered the 2024-25 federal budget.
