Labor has returned to power after being in opposition for nine years, thanks to strong support for the Greens and climate-focused independents in the recent general election. Prime Minister Albanese expressed his commitment to leading a government that unites rather than divides Australians. Despite ongoing vote counting and finalizing the government's composition, Albanese was sworn in to attend a meeting in Tokyo with the Quad security grouping, which includes India, the United States, Japan, and Australia. He acknowledged the challenges in Australia's relationship with China as he prepared for the upcoming summit with world leaders. Deputy Labor leader Richard Marles and three key ministers were recently sworn in, including Penny Wong in foreign affairs, Jim Chalmers as treasurer, and Katy Gallagher in finance. Wong is set to join Albanese on the Quad trip. Albanese's working-class background was a focal point of Labor's campaign, emphasizing his upbringing in public housing by a single mother on a disability pension and his reputation as a unifier. Labor is currently leading in 76 seats in the lower house, with some races still undecided. Independents and the Green party are expected to win more than a dozen seats as postal votes are tallied. Independents campaigning on climate, integrity, and equality in affluent, Liberal-held seats could have a significant impact. Independent Monique Ryan stated that the most important issue to constituents in her seat of Kooyong in Melbourne was climate change, a sentiment that outgoing Treasurer Josh Frydenberg acknowledged on Monday. Ryan emphasized the importance of listening to the values and desires of the people and creating a platform that reflected them. Opposition leader Albanese expressed his hope for Labor to win enough seats to govern independently, but also mentioned agreements with some independents to not support no-confidence motions against his government. Upon returning from Japan, Albanese plans to quickly fulfill his election promises, including establishing a national anti-corruption commission and a A$15 billion ($10.6 billion) manufacturing fund to diversify Australia's economy. The full ministry will be sworn in on June 1. The Australian financial markets did not show much of a response to the election results on Monday, as the outcome was already anticipated and no significant shift in economic direction was predicted. Economists at Commonwealth Bank of Australia stated that their economic forecasts and predictions for the Reserve Bank of Australia remain the same, despite the change in national leadership.
