Canberra:

Australia will hold a general election on May 3, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Friday, locking in a showdown over climate promises, nuclear power and a runaway housing market.

Albanese's centre-left Labor party took office in May 2022, turfing out a conservative government deeply unpopular after almost a decade in charge.

But initial enthusiasm for Albanese, 62, has evaporated in recent months as he struggles to sell his economic vision to the country.

Polls show him neck-and-neck with right-leaning Peter Dutton, 54, a hard-nosed former detective who wants to cut back on immigration and reverse a ban on nuclear power.
