Anthony Albanese set for Labor leadership

Anthony Albanese appears set to become the leader of the Australian Labor Party, [[ALP]] and therefore the leader of the federal opposition, after Jim Chalmers pulled out of the contest. The decision clears the path for Mr Albanese to take over from Bill Shorten, who led the ALP to a shock election defeat at the hands of the Liberal-National Coalition.
