Can someone explain what "Albanese" means, please? Obviously not Albanian, but I'm still confused.

edit: got it, his name is "Albanese"

Anthony Albanese is the name of Australia's prime minister.

Oh. Thanks. I'm not a native English speaker, but it seems the phrasing of "The Albanese Labor Government" is a bit unfortunate if you don't know that?

It's no different to saying "The Trump Repliblican Government".

I guess this was written for Australia.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s no different

But it is. Try to substitute "Albanese" for "Lebanese", maybe you'll understand what I mean.

I'm with you on this, and English is my first language. This feels like a foreign-to-australia sort of issue rather than a foreign-to-english one.
