When Labor leader Anthony Albanese became Australia’s 31st prime minister in May, few could have expected him to ‘go global’ quite so soon.

Criticised for spending most of his early days in office overseas, Anthony Albanese has barely had his feet on the ground or under the desk.

But, as a 7NEWS Spotlight exclusive with the PM shows, he’s made himself right at home in The Lodge; as well as taken to flying the flag for our interests abroad.

In an all-access introduction to the nation’s new leader*, 7NEWS political editor Mark Riley follows PM Albanese from campaign trail to world stage and back again, in a riveting reveal of our PM in action to air this Sunday on Channel 7.

Albanese shares the heartbreaking story of his birth, and the bravery of his single mother, whose portrait now takes pride of place in the PM’s new residences in Canberra and Kirribilli.

We meet Jodie Haydon, his 44-year-old partner, who made her mark as our ‘first lady’ on the PM’s recent European tour; and tells of her love for the most powerful man in the country.

In a wide-ranging program, 7NEWS Spotlight’s cameras capture the PM playing tennis with his only son Nathan; re-floating relations with President Emmanuel Macron in Paris; on a top-secret trip to the frontline of Ukraine’s war with Russia; before hot-footing it home to the Sydney flood crisis.

It’s a whirlwind primer of Australia’s top job and an up-close-and-personal look at the man now leading our nation (*ukulele not included).

  1. OK, let’s note a few things:

    1 the term “First Lady” is an Americanism & IS NOT USED IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY, & definitely NOT in the Australian Constitution.

    2 the term “First Lady” refers to the spouse of the American President who is the highest office in America.

    3 IF (IF) the term “First Lady” WAS applicable to Australia (heaven forbid), it would be to the spouse of the Governor-General, NOT the Prime Minister.

    Stay safe 👍 & warm 🔥
