Albanese's 2025 Class Strengthens Prime Minister's Influence in Party
Anthony Albanese's recent election victory is reminiscent of John Howard's win in 1996, as it has propelled a group of new MPs into the spotlight. These MPs, who have received support from Albanese, are expected to play a key role in shaping the future of the party. The loyalty shown towards the prime minister by these fresh faces highlights a potential shift in the party dynamics.
Anthony Albanese’s landslide election emulates John Howard’s victory in 1996, delivering the prime minister a slew of loyalists by launching the careers of many MPs who benefited from his success, but his future is not as certain as the former prime minister’s.
Howard’s landslide victory began the careers of stalwart supporters, such as Jackie Kelly and Joe Hockey, who formed the bedrock of his support for a decade to come, much as Anthony Albanese has added 17 new MPs to his ranks.

Many of the MPs, who received an orientation in Parliament House on Tuesday before the first sitting week of the 48th parliament begins on July 22, are personally loyal to the prime minister.
Ali France, who won the outer Brisbane seat of Dickson from then-opposition leader Peter Dutton, said the prime minister had supported her through three successive campaigns.
