Anthony Albanese has returned to the street of his childhood home to make his last-minute pitch to Australian voters.

The Labor leader has released his final campaign advertisement to try to sell a message of hope as he describes what Australia could be like with a change of government.

“I believe that Australia is the best country in the world. We have so much to be proud of but we can be so much better,” he says, narrating the video.

In the ad, Mr Albanese is filmed walking past what appears to be the public housing block in Sydney’s inner west where he grew up with his mum.

“I grew up here in Camperdown. Mum brought me up to work hard and be proud of our community,” Mr Albanese says.

“We never thought about how little we had - we thought about how much we could achieve.”

Mr Albanese says in the clip that every parent wants more for their children than they had and that “it’s not like that anymore but it should be”.

Anthony Albanese walks past his old home.

“Everything I am, I owe to my family and my community,” he says.

“It all started on this street. I will always be grateful for that. I want everyone to have that same chance to succeed.”

Mr Albanese tells viewers they have a choice of three more years of “the same” under a Coalition government.

Or, he says, they can choose “unlocking the potential of this great country by working together”.
