Albanese

Yet in this election campaign, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition leader Peter Dutton have had little to say on First Nations issues.

That referendum, which was loudly supported by Albanese in the most polarising moment of his leadership, saw 60% of voters reject a proposal to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia's constitution and give them greater political say through a Voice to Parliament.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has dismissed concerns that election spending promises could jeopardise the country's prized AAA sovereign credit rating.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday morning, Albanese said that he was proud of his Labor Party's economic record, adding that he "delivered responsible economic management".

Earlier, Albanese had said the authors of the S&P report "must have been beside themselves".
