Albanese promises an upbeat campaign with no punching down.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised a constructive election campaign that will raise Australians rather than bring them down, claiming that he and Donald Trump have opposing views on the world.

In a forthright interview with Nine's 60 Minutes program, Albanese, who turned 62 on Sunday, said he would not leave "anything on the field" in the upcoming campaign, which might begin this week.

Albanese's partner, Jodie Haydon, said she was the first to initiate a relationship with her, claiming to be a "single independent lady."

Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton have both appeared on 60 Minutes in the last two weeks, attempting to flesh out their public profiles for voters ahead of an election that opinion polls predict will be decided by a few votes in a tiny number of seats.

Albanese, who spent much of Sunday claiming that Peter Dutton, the Abbott government's health minister, planned to destroy Medicare, dismissed claims that the campaign would be dominated by negative attacks between the two major parties.

"This isn't a nasty campaign. It is a positive one.

"What I will do is review the policies. I hope to bring Australians together. I want to help people rather than hurt them."

Albanese has traveled extensively across the country, visiting Devonport, Whyalla, Sydney, and Melbourne over the last ten days. He will wrap off this week in Western Australia, where the state Labor government of Roger Cook is projected to easily defeat the Liberal Party opposition in the state election on Saturday.

He indicated that the pace of previous weeks would pick up throughout the election campaign.

"I will not leave anything on the field. "I'll have a real crack," he stated.

The campaign will likely feature the impact of policy changes outside of the United States, as President Donald Trump's tariffs on Australian aluminum and steel are set to begin on March 12.

Global leaders, including Albanese, publicly supported Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over the weekend following an unpleasant fight with Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance in the White House Oval Office.

Albanese was hesitant when asked how he planned to deal with Trump in the coming months.

"I'll deal with him as I deal with other world leaders, respectfully," replied the president. "Donald Trump's perspective differs from mine. That is evident.

"But we have a lot in common. The trading relationship is quite significant. The AUKUS arrangements are really significant."

Haydon is expected to play a more significant role in the campaign than in 2022 when she only appeared sparsely. That was far before the couple got engaged early last year.

Haydon has gone on worldwide vacations with Albanese, who says he was fortunate to find someone he considers his best friend.

Haydon described her partner as the most complex working person she knew. She reflected on how she utilized social media to directly approach Albanese, which led to their first meeting at a pub, which turned into a romance.

"I was a single woman for a long time before I met him," she told me. "To all the single independent ladies out there, why can't we make the first move?"

Albanese has faced criticism for purchasing a $4.3 million beachside home in the NSW Central Coast hamlet of Copacabana while many Australians were dealing with a cost-of-living crisis.

He rationalized the purchase, claiming that he and Haydon would eventually visit the house due to its proximity to Haydon's family on the Central Coast.

Haydon believes that without Albanese, her life would be like an episode of an American sitcom from the 1980s.

"I think many of my other single girlfriends and I thought we would end up like the Golden Girls; we'll all live together up the coast, and that would be life," she said.
