PM narrows down wedding date, settles for shorter honeymoon
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he will settle for a shorter honeymoon with fiancee Jodie Haydon following Labor's election win as he narrows down the date for their highly anticipated wedding. Albanese, who is set to become the first prime minister to get married while in office, told ABC Radio Perth on Tuesday that he and Haydon were yet to lock in a date. 'We have now had an opportunity to discuss, and we have a few options between now and the end of the year,' he said. 'But we're waiting as well to look at the calendar.' Albanese proposed to Haydon in February 2024, the first prime minister to get engaged while in office, but held off planning their wedding because of the May 3 election. 'I deliberately did not get ahead of myself. So from May 3 and beyond, there was a blank diary,' he said. The prime minister admitted in March that he had seriously considered eloping on Valentine's Day this year, exactly one year after their engagement, just to put an end to the wedding speculation. Loading 'I did think about doing it really quietly,' he said of their decision against a secret ceremony at the time. 'We decided that might get some speculation back as well, so we didn't.' Albanese has previously said the wedding would be a small event and held this spring – although he won't be the only one tying the knot in the second half of the year. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that in 2023 the largest number of marriages took place on November 11. Saturdays in November are among the most popular days for weddings, along with Saturdays in late October.

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson discusses the fire risk of wind turbines in regional areas and criticises the Labor Party for their renewable policies. 'I've got no time for them whatsoever,' Ms Hanson told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. 'It's a joke, it really is a joke, and the people of Australia need to wake up to this and understand. 'I'll keep raising these issues, asking questions and show the government for what they are, nothing but hypocrites and liars to the Australian people.'
