Australia' s leading voices on politics and policy examine the first Albanese Government. From the narrow election victory to the commanding majority secured in 2025, this book traces the Albanese Government' s first term, navigating economic turbulence and a shifting international landscape. What were the policy hits and misses? What was the impact of the failed Voice referendum? And how did the government manage key reforms? With a preface by Bill Shorten, and contributions from leading scholars, including Frank Bongiorno, Rae Cooper, Liz Allen and more, this book captures the major issues of the Albanese Government' s first term and looks towards their future years in government.
