Both men have spent much of their life in politics, but one will be Prime Minister on May 21 and the other will be nearing the conclusion of his career.
How long has Scott Morrison been in office?
Scott Morrison is the first Prime Minister in more than 14 years, since John Howard, to serve a full term as the country’s leader.
Anthony Albanese, a 26-year veteran of the federal parliament, is attempting to prevent him from obtaining a fourth term for the Coalition.
Who is running against Scott Morrison?
Anthony Albanese, Scott’s opponent, was elected to the Australian parliament as John Howard rose to power following 13 years of Labor rule.
He’s only been on the government benches for six of his 26 years in parliament, and while he’s no stranger to federal politics, he’s spent the last year trying to reintroduce himself to the public.
Albanese was elected without opposition to the presidency in 2019. If Labor loses, the ALP is anticipated to nominate a large number of candidates to succeed him.
