    Can someone explain what “Albanese” means, please? Obviously not Albanian, but I’m still confused.

    edit: got it, his name is “Albanese”

        Oh. Thanks. I’m not a native English speaker, but it seems the phrasing of “The Albanese Labor Government” is a bit unfortunate if you don’t know that?

          It’s no different to saying “The Trump Repliblican Government”.

          I guess this was written for Australia.

            It’s no different

            But it is. Try to substitute “Albanese” for “Lebanese”, maybe you’ll understand what I mean.

              I’m with you on this, and English is my first language. This feels like a foreign-to-australia sort of issue rather than a foreign-to-english one.
