With James Massola: It’s been a whirlwind start to life as the Prime Minister for Anthony Albanese.

He's rubbed shoulders with Joe Biden in Tokyo, ridden bikes in Indonesia and inherited the cost of living crisis he and Labor campaigned so hard on.

Some might call his first 100 days a honeymoon; after all, exclusive polling for the Herald and the Age delivered a huge nine-point bump to Labor in the primary vote since polling day.

And Albanese himself enjoys a 55% approval rating as preferred PM.

But it’s not all been high-fives, Rabbitohs scarves and skolling beers at Gang of Youths concerts; Albanese has a to-do list you’d need to take a deep breath for.

Today on Please Explain, national affairs editor James Massola joins Chris Paine to discuss the cheers, beers and a budget in arrears as Anthony Albanese marks 100 days in office.
