Australian PM Albanese postpones election, adopts pre-election tactics like policy announcements.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has not called for an election this year, missing the last opportunity on December 22. Despite this, his government is in "election mode," announcing policies like irrigation schemes and HECS debt reduction near the end of the political season. These announcements are seen as committed policies rather than just campaign promises. The final practical date for a combined Senate and House election is May 24, 2025, with a double dissolution possible before late March.
