Spotlight: Inside Anthony Albanese’s election night
Seven months ago, Anthony Albanese’s Labor broke almost ten years of Coalition rule.
Labor’s celebration were large and loud – and 7am was there to record the moment.
We spent the night in Marrickville, home soil for the new prime minister, at Labor’s election night party.
Over the course of the night we spoke with our reporter Karen Middleton, incoming minister Tony Burke, and, at the end of the night, we got one quick question with the newly-elected prime minister.
Today, we return to Labor’s election night victory.
