(Photo by Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images)Lisa Maree Williams—Getty Images Progressives around the world are united in the idea that we should leave no one behind. The idea that no matter who you are or where you come from, you should have every chance to succeed in life. Few politicians embody that journey as [Anthony Albanese](https://time.com/6176983/australia-election-anthony-albanese/ "undefined") does. From growing up in public housing to taking office last spring as Australia’s new Prime Minister, he is a symbol of hope and inspiration. He works to lift up and amplify the voices of those who need to be heard from, particularly [Indigenous peoples](https://time.com/6265629/aboriginal-torres-indigenous-constitution-australia-referendum/ "undefined"). His government supports those who need it most, believes that we need to take [ambitious climate action](https://time.com/6204694/australia-climate-bill-2022/ "undefined"), and unwaveringly supports democracy in the face of unprecedented threat. In a world where people are increasingly uncertain about what the future holds for them and their families, it’s easy for politicians to sow fear and division. To choose the path of hope and opportunity takes immense courage, and that courage lives within Anthony Albanese. _Trudeau is the Prime Minister of Canada_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2023/6269839/anthony-albanese-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2023/6269839/anthony-albanese-2/"},"headline":"Anthony Albanese","datePublished":"2023-04-13T10:32:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T07:22:07.125Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2023/6269839/anthony-albanese-2/","keywords":["TIME 100","franchise","sponsorshipblock","TIME100 2023"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbc7ad2bc25870817/698a3bee09208fc2a241a423/Anthony-Albanese-time100-2023-v2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbc7ad2bc25870817/698a3bee09208fc2a241a423/Anthony-Albanese-time100-2023-v2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2023/6269839/anthony-albanese-2/","name":"Anthony Albanese"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME100 | The 100 Most Influential People of 2023","description":"See all the people on Time's 2023 Time 100 list","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/P6RIsapV/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-04-13T10:30:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/P6RIsapV.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2023/6269839/anthony-albanese-2/","duration":"PT1M53S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2023/6269839/anthony-albanese-2/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
