The younger Mr Albanese was pictured in a white zip-up jacket and jeans, while his father wore a heavy jacket and grey tie.

The Australian reported that Mr Albanese briefly spoke to reporters on the walk, bringing attention to Labor’s “positive agenda” and contrasting it with the “No-alition” of his opponents.

Nathan Albanese was a student at the University of Technology Sydney, where he completed a Bachelor of Business Administration.

He later completed an unpaid internship at big four consultancy firm PwC, which led the Prime Minister to declare his son “is not a public figure”.
