‘I don’t anticipate there will be an election’: Anthony Albanese

Prime Minster Anthony Albanese says Labor’s $10 billion housing invoice ought to be handed to keep away from a double dissolution election.

“Well, I don’t anticipate that there will be an election this year, but quite clearly, we have a mandate for this, we want this to be passed,” he stated throughout a media convention on Friday.

“The way to ensure that this doesn’t provide a trigger is to pass the legislation.

“We don’t want to play politics with this, we want this to build additional social housing.”
