Anthony Albanese: Australia's Labor opposition elects new leader - BBC News

Australia's Labor opposition has chosen Anthony Albanese as its new leader after the party suffered an upset in the nation's general election.

Previous leader Bill Shorten resigned on 18 May, immediately after conceding the election to incumbent Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

Mr Albanese, a veteran politician, was elected unopposed as his successor.

He vowed to rebuild Labor's vote, saying on Monday: "I am up for a hard job. I am up for hard work."

"I intend to do my best to work with the Australian people to ensure that we elect a Labor government next time."

Labor is reeling from the election which delivered Mr Morrison's conservative coalition a majority. The Liberal-Nationals had previously been in minority government.

Last week, Mr Albanese described the election loss as "devastating", after months of opinion polls had indicated that Labor was expected to win.

The 56-year-old MP, from Sydney, has held senior positions in past Labor governments.

He previously lost the last ballot for the Labor leadership to Mr Shorten in 2013.

Who is Anthony Albanese?

  • Often known by the nickname "Albo", he is from Labor's left-wing faction
  • Raised by a single parent in public housing in Sydney before studying economics at the University of Sydney
  • Worked as a staffer for Labor politicians, before entering parliament in 1996
  • One of Labor's most experienced MPs, he was briefly deputy prime minister to Kevin Rudd in 2013
  • He has held other portfolios including communications, infrastructure and transport.

Labor's challenge

Mr Albanese has promised a "reset" of Labor's policy agenda but said he would not be rushed.

The party had campaigned on a comprehensive set of reforms, including climate and tax policy changes.

However, that ultimately failed to appeal to voters, with Labor suffering a 1.08% swing away from it nationally.

It suffered its deepest losses in Queensland, where the party's vote was reduced to six seats of a possible 30.

Much of the post-election analysis has focused on Labor's reduced vote from its traditional working-class base.

In his first speech as leader-elect on Monday, Mr Albanese said he intended to build relationships with "those people who wanted to vote for us, who were open to vote for us, but who felt like they couldn't".

He emphasised his economic credentials, and said he was open to working with the government to achieve progress on climate change and indigenous issues.

"Some reforms require bipartisan support," he said.

The party's former deputy Tanya Plibersek, shadow treasurer Chris Bowen, and rising frontbencher Jim Chalmers were also eyed as potential leaders, but all withdrew from the race last week.

Ms Plibersek said she would not run for the role because of family reasons.

NASA meteor: A 'hypersonic' fireball just hit Australia with the power of a NUCLEAR bomb - Express.co.uk

The incredible lit up the night skies as it passed over the south coast of Australia on Tuesday, May 21. According to NASA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the meteor entered the atmosphere at 11.5km per second or 25,724mph. The meteor then partially broke up and crash landed in the waters of the Great Australian Bight bay some 186 miles (300km) west-southwest of Mount Gambier. Before this happened, however, the fireball released enough energy in the sky to equal a “small nuclear bomb”.

According to , the meteor entered the atmosphere with the force of 1.6 kilotons or 1,600 tonnes of TNT.

Thankfully, Professor Phil Bland from Curtin University said the space rock exploded too high up for the meteor to cause any significant damage.

When a 65.6ft-wide (20m) meteor exploded over Russia’s Chelyabinsk Oblast in 2013, more than 1,000 people were injured by blown out windows.

Professor Bland said: “It’s in the range of a small nuclear weapon. Because it exploded at an altitude of 31.5 km it didn’t do any damage.”

Shortly after the incident, eyewitnesses flooded social media with photos and videos clips of the fireball.

Lyall Furphy tweeted: “I got a great view of it while driving to Adelaide.”

Alexandra Marshall tweeted: “That meteor dropped in to say, ‘hi!’ and remind us all that it has much bigger siblings who are far less considerate with their landing options.”

And Melanie Remen, who caught the meteor on video, tweeted: “Wow! One of our security cameras caught the Meteor in Adelaide on Tuesday night, wicked!”

One video, in particular, shows a bright flash of light turn night into day over the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Adelaide, South .

Based on NASA’s tracking systems, the fireball erupted 2.21pm UK time or 11.21pm South Australia time.

In the terrifying clip, a bright spot of light is seen streaking across the sky, gradually building in intensity.

When the fireball erupts, a small point of white-greenish light violently turns into a big, orange ball of flame.

NASA aerospace engineer Dr Steve Chesley estimated the meteor could have been about the size of a small car.

However, the force of entering the atmosphere at “hypersonic velocities” would have caused the space rock to crumble and fall apart.

The meteor expert told ABC Radio: “You wouldn’t want it to land on your head but these wouldn’t really do any damage on the ground.

“What the folks there along the coast of South Australia saw was a spectacular light show, probably a very loud sonic boom that would rattle the windows, this wasn’t big enough to break windows I expect, and then just small pebbles falling to the Earth and not at hypersonic velocities, they slow down very quickly.”

Quick facts about meteors:

1. Meteors are bits and pieces of rock and ice, which have broken off from comets orbiting the Sun.

2. A meteor shower over Earth occurs when the planet crosses the dusty orbital trail of a comet.

3. NASA estimates around 30 meteor showers a year are visible and some have been around for at least 2,000 years.

4. When a meteor turns into a streaking fireball, it momentarily becomes brighter than the planet Venus – the second brightest object in the night skies after the Moon.

5. The International Space Station (ISS) is shielded from meteor impacts.

  • A NASA research center confirmed that a massive fireball landed on Tuesday in the Great Australian Bight just off the coast of South Australia. 
  • People in parts of Victoria and South Australia reported seeing large flashes of bright white light at around 10:30 pm on Tuesday.
  • The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies in California confirmed that the bright light was actually an impressive fireball with a calculated impact energy of 1.6 kilotons of explosive power.

A NASA research center confirmed that a massive fireball landed on Tuesday in the Great Australian Bight just off the coast of South Australia.

The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at the California Institute of Technology analyzes the impact time, location, and amount of energy generated by meteors and asteroids that approach earth. The research facility uses high-precision orbit solutions of the space objects to predict the risk of impact and supports NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office. 

US government sensors have been monitoring fireballs — or "exceptionally bright meteors," as NASA explains — since 1988. The chart below from the research center maps the location and impact energy of the brightest fireballs reported.

The center confirmed that the bright light was actually an impressive fireball with a calculated impact energy of 1.6 kilotons of explosive power. It traveled at a velocity of 11.5 kilometers per second (7 miles per second) and ultimately landed in the Great Australian Bight just off South Australia's coast. 

NASA engineer Dr Steve Chesley told ABC Radio that the meteor could have been the size of a small car when it hit the atmosphere, and it was actually traveling at a slower speed than most asteroids.
