Victory: The Inside Story of Labor’s Return to Power

Anthony Albanese’s 2022 election victory was the most consequential in decades. As well as ending a ’lost decade’ of conservative rule and bringing Labor into Federal power for the first time since 2013, it ushered in a new force in politics. The victory of the teal independents has changed both the face of the parliament and decimated the Liberal Party. Women candidates and voters had their voices heard across the political spectrum.

Victory goes inside the campaigns of all the players in the 2022 election to reveal how Labor orchestrated its remarkable win. Will Albanese govern as the careful reformer of the campaign or will this socially progressive leader recapture Australia’s lost egalitarianism?
