Election 2025 date to announce Friday
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is planning to call the federal elections on Friday morning while the coalition is preparing to reveal its main economic tone for voters in response to the budget of the leader of the opposition Peter Dutton.
Several sources that are familiar with the prime minister’s thoughts said that he intended to push the General Governor Sam Mostan to Canberra on Friday morning.

The sources, unauthorized to speak to the media, stressed that the plan was subject to changes as before when the cyclone Alfred threatened the Queensland coast at the beginning of this month.
But calling the elections on Friday morning would have stolen attention from the covering of the news of the Thursday evening budget speech of Dutton in which he could reveal policies on accommodation, supply of gas and migration after a rare period of false steps of the coalition.
The Albanian, who became lively in private for the elections, told Confidantes the idea of forcing voters to endure a six -week campaign was “bullshit”, making a five -week campaign that ends on May 3 the most likely option. The last one that could call a five -week campaign for that date is Sunday, which is when it is expected to appear from the ABC Professionals plan.
The coalition needs about 20 seats to win and make the Albanian government the first administration to a term since 1932.
A senior minister of the Labor Cabinet told this Masthead that the Albanians had underlined what considers the strong position of the government in the polls. “If we are at 50-50 at the beginning of the countryside, this is potentially an electoral victory (majority) for a government,” recalled the Albanian source.
“We think there is a possibility that the wheels fall completely for them,” said the source of work. “They have nothing out there as politics as well as nuclear energy and free lunches and are not doing anything to expand their base.”
The shadow treasurer Angus Taylor confirmed on Thursday that the coalition would do it oppose the fiscal cut of $ 5 per week of LaborAn opening of a new struggle on economic management and shifting attention from the recent Labor policies to health care.
