ANN/THE STRAITS TIME – Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised a shift to an era of “reform and renewal” for his government in a speech marking 100 days since he took the top job.
Albanese said he saw Australia’s journey through the COVID-19 pandemic in three stages: beginning with response, then the current phase of recovery and finally leading to reform.
“Whether it’s wages or skills, national security or energy, we will act with urgency when urgency is required,” he said at the National Press Club in Canberra yesterday.
“But we will never take our eyes off the big prize, the future, the chance to secure a new generation of prosperity and fairness for all Australians,” he added.
