    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.
