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 unsuccessful Voice referendum? And how did the government manage key reforms?

Edited by John Hawkins, Michelle Grattan and John Halligan, The First Albanese Government includes a preface by Bill Shorten and contributions from leading experts across politics and policy. It captures the major issues of the Albanese Government's first term and looks towards its future years in government.
