Albo's unofficial campaign kick-off
Anthony Albanese will hold his first cabinet meeting of the year on Monday as he looks to reset the agenda ahead of a key speech and policy announcement.
Anthony Albanese and senior ministers will descend on Canberra on Monday for their first cabinet meeting of the year.
While there aren’t expected to be any significant announcements next week, the meeting will provide the government the chance to reset the agenda heading into a critical few weeks before the election is called. After the cabinet meeting, the PM is expected to visit more regional areas in the following days.
This comes after Albanese embarked on a regional blitz of the country this week, visiting Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia to announce a suite of multi-billion-dollar infrastructure commitments.
While the prime minister didn’t visit any battleground seats in NSW and Victoria — where many believe the election will be won or lost — Labor insiders said the tour was more about getting to areas he may not have a chance to visit during the campaign, as well as returning Albanese to his favourite topic of infrastructure.
