Australian PM Anthony Albanese faces election challenges over 2019 bushfire criticisms.

In the 2025 Australian federal election, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese faces challenges due to past criticisms over his handling of the 2019 bushfires. His slow response and lack of engagement with emergency leaders hurt his reputation and approval ratings. While recent polls show a slight lead with 50% support, compared to opponent Peter Dutton's 47%, the outcome remains uncertain, especially with recent natural disasters in Queensland and Victoria. Voters hope for a quieter disaster season to avoid further political impact.
