Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has praised his outgoing Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau following the latter’s resignation after nine years in office. Albanese says Trudeau has had a good relationship with Australia under both the current Labor government and its Coalition predecessor. However, Albanese has downplayed concerns that factors which contributed to Trudeau’s departure – such as cost-of-living pressures, high inflation and immigration – could affect his own election prospects in 2025. He notes that Trudeau is the leader of a long-term government; Albanese is nearing the end of his first term in office.
