THE Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is going to Canberra today, Sunday, March 2 but he has ruled out visiting the Governor General "unless its to share a birthday cake with him" he told media at a Medicare announcement in Sydney.
Mr Albanese said he was continuing to prepare a Budget (due out on Tuesday, March 25) meaning that a May date for the Federal Election is now looming as the most likely.
The nomination od Saturday, April 5 came from a highly connected source. What changed over the past few days, who knows, but Labor's improvement in the polls might be something the government is prepared to ride for a week or two more.
