The Prime Minister has sent a message to Anthony Albanese as the Opposition leader is forced to scramble in senior ministers while he campaigns from his Sydney home after he tested positive to COVID-19.
The Labor Leader's second week of campaign, which has been seen a success after a narrow win over Scott Morrison at Sky News Australia's The People's Forum, has ended abruptly, with the third week of the push for votes also impacted.
Labor Leader Anthony Albanese's Federal Election campaign trail has been thrown into chaos after he tested positive to COVID-19. Picture: Toby Zerna Senior Coalition strategists told The Australian that Mr Morrison will push on with his campaign, arguing the Prime Minister held 19 interviews and press conferences when he contracted the virus on March 1.
He spent Thursday on the New South Wales South Coast where he visited Symons House retirement village in Nowra, where he was photographed wearing a black face mask as he spoke with elderly residents. Hours before he returned the positive swab on Thursday evening, he visited Labor candidate for the seat of Bennelong, Jerome Laxale and met locals in the area. Picture: Toby Zerna
