Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed that the 2025 Australian federal election will take place on May 3, launching a five-week campaign with scheduled breaks for Easter and Anzac Day. While the government had initially planned to call the election weeks earlier for April 12, Tropical Cyclone Alfred disrupted those arrangements, pushing the date back.
The announcement follows closely on the heels of the federal budget, spotlighting Labor’s pledge to deliver tax cuts for all Australian taxpayers starting July 1 next year—a measure the Coalition opposed. In response, the Coalition has vowed to halve the fuel excise for 12 months if they win the election, setting the stage for a heated campaign.
