CANBERRA: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is shifting to an era of “reform and renewal” for his government once the period of Covid-19 recovery is over, he says.

In a speech marking 100 days since he took the top job, Albanese said he saw Australia’s journey through the Covid pandemic in three stages, beginning with response, then the current phase of recovery and finally leading to reform.
