Grattan on Friday: Albanese to hit campaign trail – for a Security Council seat
The prime minister will be at the United Nations during leaders’ week in September. That’s an excellent opportunity for a PM with lobbying on his mind.
Anthony Albanese is set to return to the campaign trail following Labor's third term, aiming for a seat on the United Nations Security Council. As part of his extensive "summit season" roster, Albanese will be in New York for the General Assembly leaders' week in September, where he will submit Australia's bid for a non-permanent Security Council seat in 2029-30. A successful bid would position the Albanese government well in an increasingly contested international landscape.
