"Anthony Albanese says government and democratic institutions “including a free
media” can meet the demands of global uncertainty, despite both facing growing
attacks around the world.

A day after an Australian journalist was shot with a rubber bullet while
covering street protests in Los Angeles, the prime minister will use an address
to the National Press Club to argue distrust can be countered through economic
stability and keeping election promises.

“It is the more corrosive proposition that politics and government and
democratic institutions, including a free media, are incapable of meeting the
demands of this moment.

“Some simply dismiss such sentiment. Others cynically seek to harvest it. Our
responsibility is to disprove it.”"
