Prime Ministers of the Commonwealth of Australia
Malcolm Turnbull Liberal/National Coalition Present - 7th August 2018
Turnbull grows more beleaguered by the day as the Citizenship Crisis remains unresolved well into the year. Attempts to reign in the Power Crisis (it seems that having renewable, reliable and affordable power is impossible), go unanswered by the power companies. The backlash caused by the Foreign Interference Laws from China also weighs on him.

Tony Abbott Liberal/National Coalition 7th August 2018 - 19th March 2022
Abbot tries to deal with the legacy of Turnbull's Incompetence. However, the minor parties in the 46th Parliament are obstructionist. One thing he does manage to do before calling another early election in 2020 is ensure religious freedom protections in the wake of the legalisation of Same Sex Marriage. He tries to deal with the power prices continuing to rise, but the Power companies still don't listen.
He wins re-election in 2020 despite Australia having gone into a recession (which he blames on the power prices). The 47th Parliament has a Coalition majority, but there is still obstructionism in the Senate that holds the Abbott Government's agenda back.

Anthony Albanese Labor 19th March 2022 – 17 July 2027
While there was some economic recovery as 2021 went on, the Coalition had no chance of winning election. So Labor (with Green support) won Government. The fears of the conservative portions of Australian society are assuaged. Albanese isn't as Left as Shorten was. Even so, with the Green support (and Lee Rhiannon still in the Senate) more Socalistic policies are enacted.
Throughout the rest of 2022 he focuses on economic recovery. There is also a summit with Jeremy Corbyn of the United Kingdom and Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand about a Commonwealth Trade Block later in the year. Thus the Commonwealth Trade and Defence Conference is established in January 2023. The CTDC isn't as controversial in Australia as it is in the United Kingdom. The early years of the CTDC are rather smooth in Australia. But Albanese eventually grew complacent, thus the Coalition wins the 2027 Election.

Scott Morrison Liberal/National Coalition 17th July 2027 - ????
With the Albanese Government having left the economy in a good condition, Morrison continues with the various projects that had been ongoing as of the Election.
