Anthony Albanese sworn in as PM of Australia ahead of Tokyo summit

The Hindu  

Australia's new prime minister Anthony Albanese was sworn in Monday, May 23, 2022, ahead of a Tokyo summit with President Joe Biden while vote counting continued to determine whether he will control a majority in a Parliament that is demanding tougher action on climate change. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's center-left Labor Party ousted predecessor Scott Morrison's conservative coalition at Saturday's election. Mr. Albanese, who describes himself as the first ever candidate for the office of the Prime Minister with a "non-Anglo Celtic name" and Malaysian-born Penny Wong, Australia's first Foreign Minister to be born overseas, were sworn into office by Governor-General David Hurley before the pair flew to Tokyo for a security summit on Tuesday with Mr. Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mr. Morrison's decision to resign as Prime Minister during the early vote counting enabled Mr. Hurley, who represents Australia's head of state, British monarch Queen Elizabeth II, to appoint his replacement without evidence that Mr. Albanese can control a majority of seats in Parliament's lower chamber where governments are formed.
