Anthony Albanese has revealed he will live in the prime minister’s official residence in Canberra, rather than the Sydney harbourside mansion that has been home to almost every leader from New South Wales since John Howard., Albanese revealed that he had already moved his possessions into The Lodge and planned to lead the country from the capital.
“I’m already at The Lodge. I have moved most of my personal effects from my flat in Canberra there across to The Lodge plus some things down from Sydney,” he told“It’s the national capital. And that is important. Family considerations are why I’ll spend time in Sydney as well.”Albanese’s predecessor Scott Morrison moved into the prime minister’s Sydney residence, Kirribilli House, with his family in 2018 – effectively governing primarily from the city.
He was the third prime minister in the past two decades to base himself from the residence, after John Howard and Tony Abbott.While in the process of moving to the capital full-time, Albanese made an appearance in Canberra on Saturday as part of the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations. “Above all, she has stood with Australia as a true and steadfast friend, through the good times and also the hard times.”
CameronGooley The lodge is one ugly mf mansion. justsaying
CameronGooley Sell Kirribili and use to it pay down the National debt. It’ll be a small contribution, but a symbolic one showing that the rorts are over.
CameronGooley Good. Bout time we had a PM who remembers there's more to Australia than Sydney...that was why we built Canberra in the first place! Auspol
CameronGooley Smart move.This PM is all common sense and he has only been in the job 2 weeks...but 26 years of waiting ,watching and learning. I think we have a very good one in the top job, finally....
CameronGooley Why does the PM have a residence in Sydney in the first place?
CameronGooley Good move, will take a month to clean the smoke from the shredder and the incinerator now that scumnuts has vacated. Could be used for the first head of state and visiting dignitaries for the republics declaration and following celebrations.
CameronGooley Gone to his head......More the glory the the guts.
CameronGooley I would not have voted for him if I was eligible to vote but I gladly concede he has made a good start. He has been active, purposeful and practical. May be it was time for a change.
CameronGooley That it is even a question is interesting. Prime Ministers should live at the Lodge. Transparent and accountable.
CameronGooley Doesn’t have a choice ‘cos Scomo and family are still living rent-free at Kirribilli in Sydney. How long is that gonna go on?
CameronGooley Get rid of the curry smell etc asap
