2022年，联邦大选是澳大利亚国内政治最重要的事件。工党在激烈的较量中击败了自由党-国家党联盟，时隔9年再次上台。在两党竞选辩论中，中澳关系成为一大热门话题和影响最终结果的重要因素。胜选的阿尔巴尼斯为兑现竞选承诺、展示工党政府新形象，组建了从政经验丰富和多元包容的内阁执政团队，在保障原住民权益、应对气候变化、保持经济平稳运行和国家反腐败机构改革等重点领域积极作为。总体上看，工党政府上台以来执政表现较好，其与选民的“蜜月期”也得以延续，阿尔巴尼斯和工党的支持率持续对自由党-国家党联盟保持优势。败选的自由党-国家党联盟进行了领导层“大换血”，试图重拾选民信任。值得注意的是，绿党和“蓝绿色独立候选人”在大选中表现亮眼，对联邦议会和政府的影响力不断扩大。
In 2022，the federal election was the most important political event in Australia. The Australian Labor Party（ALP）defeated the Coalition（LNP）in a heated contest and took power again after nine years. During the campaign debates，China-Australia relations became a major topic and an important factor influencing the final outcome. In order to fulfill the campaign promise and present a new image of Labor government，Anthony Albanese formed a cabinet with prominent diversity and rich experience in administration. The new government took active measures in key areas including protecting the rights and interests of indigenous people，addressing climate change，maintaining economic stability and carrying out a historic anti-corruption institutional reform at the federal level. In general，the Labor government has performed well since taking office，which led to a prolonged “honeymoon” with voters，and to Albanese and ALP’s continuous approval rating advantage over LNP. The defeated LNP has reshuffled leadership in an attempt to regain voters’ trust. Notably，The Australian Greens and the “Teal Independent” rose in the 2022 election，whose influence on the federal parliament and the government has been expanding.
