Speculation around next federal election
Sky News host Andrew Clennell says with the budget having the potential to be a “pre-election budget” the focus is now starting to turn to when the next federal election might be.
Speculation around next federal election
Mr Clennell said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s plan is to “go full-term”.
“Which would involve holding an election next May, which means a pre-election budget in March,” Mr Clennell said.
“That doesn’t mean political circumstances can’t change and the PM might go to an election earlier.
“One thing which will have a big effect at election time is the electoral redistribution slated for the release mid-year.”
