A blow or a boost for Labor's election campaign as Anthony Albanese tests positive for Covid. The Opposition Leader confirmed on Thursday night he had returned a positive routine PCR test ahead travelling to WA. The furloughing of the Opposition leader now means that the pressure now falls to his colleagues to carry Labor's campaign in his absence. In the meantime, Albanese will boost his media appearances through radio, television and online interviews from home, while he remains in good health. Prime Minister Scott Morrison and other leaders have taken to social media extending their sympathies to Albanese, wishing him all the best for his recovery.
