It’s been nearly a week since Labor was swept to power in the federal election, with new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promising an era of change. 

The start of his term has already been a whirlwind. Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong boarded a plane to Toyko shortly after their swearing-in, to head to a Quad meeting with their counterparts from Japan, the US and India.

Chief Political Correspondent David Crowe and Canberra bureau photographer Alex Ellinghausen have spent the week up close and personal with Albanese and join host Rachel Clun on Please Explain.
