A source within the federal government says there is a 50 per cent chance that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will announce the date of the election this weekend, with 12 April seen as the most likely option. However, some Labor insiders believe that Albanese will wait until the potential impact of Tropical Cyclone Alfred on south-east Queensland is known before going to the polls. The Bureau of Meteorology has upgraded the cyclone to a category two system, and it is forecast to make landfall somewhere between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast later this week. The next most likely date for the election would be 3 May, given that Albanese will have to take into account Easter and Anzac Day when deciding on a date to go to the polls.
