Since being picked as Opposition Leader in 2019, Anthony Albanese has run a small target campaign.

Through natural disasters and the pandemic, Mr Albanese laid low and waited for the government to make missteps.

Now after 26 years in parliament and three years as leader of the opposition, the Coalition are presenting Mr Albanese as an unknown risk.

Meanwhile, Scott Morrison has loomed large in the public's attention. 

But there's still a lot that is unknown about Mr Morrison as well.

Here's a look at the upbringings of both Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese.

Scott Morrison

Scott Morrison grew up in the affluent Sydney suburb of Bronte, where his father was a policeman and later, the local mayor.

Mr Morrison's first start in politics was handing out how-to-vote cards for his dad on Waverley Municipal Council.

He appeared in several commercials as a child actor, before attending the selective public school Sydney Boys High.

He undertook a Bachelor of Science with an honours in applied economic geography at the University of New South Wales.

He considered studying theology in Canada, but entered the workforce instead.

After time at the Property Council of Australia, he became general manager of the Tourism Council of Australia. 

Mr Morrison spent two years running New Zealand's tourism office, before coming back to Australia to head Tourism Australia.

As managing director of Tourism Australia, he greenlit the controversial "Where the bloody hell are you?" campaign.

He was chosen for the southern Sydney seat of Cook in 2007 in a contentious pre-selection battle, then entered parliament.

He entered government on the frontbench as immigration minister, then social services minister, then treasurer.

Raised Presbyterian, he now attends Horizon, a Pentecostal church in the Sutherland Shire.

He began dating his now-wife Jenny when they were 16, and they married when he was 21 and she was 22.

He has two daughters, Abbey and Lily.

Mr Morrison is famously an avid supporter of the Cronulla Sharks, but is also a fan of rugby union's Eastern Suburbs RUFC.

Anthony Albanese

Anthony Albanese grew up in the Sydney inner-west suburb of Camperdown with his grandparents and mother.

For much of his life he believed his father had died in a car accident. He later learned his father was a steward on a cruise ship his mother had been on, and she fell pregnant after a very short relationship.

Mr Albanese tracked down his still-living father in Italy in 2009, and met two half-siblings he never knew existed.

For much of his childhood his mother got by on a disability pension and she spent time in hospital for her rheumatoid arthritis.

He went to St Joseph's Primary School in Camperdown and then St Mary's Cathedral College in the CBD.

After making his name as part of Young Labor's left faction, he became a research officer for his mentor Tom Uren, a Hawke government frontbencher.

Mr Albanese spent a few years working in the NSW Labor Party before being pre-selected for the Sydney inner-west seat of Grayndler.

In parliament he was an early advocate for LGBTI rights and euthanasia.

After years in opposition, he became minister for infrastructure and transport in 2007, then Deputy Prime Minister in 2013.

He became opposition leader in 2019.

For 19 years he was married to Carmel Tebbutt, who was a prominent Labor frontbencher in NSW Parliament. They separated in 2019.

He has been in a relationship since 2020 with Jodie Haydon, who works for an industry superfund.

The pair met at an event in Melbourne where she was the only person in the audience who supported his beloved South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Mr Albanese lives in the inner-west suburb of Marrickville with his son Nathan, 21, and his dog Toto.

Homicide detectives are urging anyone who witnessed the deadly stabbing of a young father-to-be at the Sydney Royal Easter Show to hand footage to police.

Uati "Pele" Faletolu was knifed in the chest last Monday, while on break from his job working one of the rides. Police believe the public confrontation was planned.

NSW Police Homicide Squad Commander Danny Doherty said today investigators have combed through "hours and hours" of video footage since the attack, but have been unable to identify the person or people responsible.

"We can see that there are a significant number of people have their phones up filming this incident, not exactly the murder but at least the brawl straight after," Detective Superintendent Doherty said.

"They may have this image now on their phone and unknowingly recorded who is responsible and have not come forward.

"We are appealing for information not only from people who were present and may have seen something unusual, but who may have actual footage that may be incredibly vital to solving who was responsible for this murder of young Pele."

He said police are still working to understand the motive and "trying to keep an open mind" but believe the killing was sparked by a confrontation between two groups.

Detective Superintendent Doherty also said some people police believe witnessed the stabbing and altercation have not been forthcoming with information that could help the investigation.

"There has been a lack of cooperation (and) assistance… whether that is through misguided loyalty or through whatever reason, but that doesn't help us," he said.

"That's disappointing and it's frustrating.

"And I'm sure it's frustrating for the family… There is a funeral happening on Friday and no one is helping or talking to police."

A 15-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and charged over his involvement with the brawl, but NSW Police do not believe he was responsible for the stabbing.

The appeal comes after Mr Faletolu's mother paid tribute to her "selfless son".

"Uati was a happy, outgoing young man with a loving heart," Jasika Faletolu posted on social media on behalf of the family.

"He was a loyal friend, a caring brother, and a selfless son and partner.

"Even with the tragic circumstances surrounding Uati's passing, we as a family do not want Uati remembered as a victim but to use this time to honour and celebrate the beautiful person that he was."

His family are waiting for his body to be returned as investigations continue.

A woman is lucky to be alive after miraculously surviving falling beneath a moving train in Argentina.

Named only as Candela, the woman can be seen on CCTV footage losing her footing while waiting at the platform, before stumbling towards a moving train as it rapidly approaches a station on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

She falls between the platform and the carriage while horrified onlookers cover their eyes as the event unfurls.

Despite the close call, she was eventually retrieved unharmed by rail staff.

"I suffered a sudden drop in blood pressure and fainted", she told an Argentinian TV station.

A giant fig tree tore free of its foundations and flattened a sports car with a driver inside it in inner-Sydney this morning.

The driver, Jason Chong, told 9News he was driving to his work in Maroubra on what he thought was a "nice day".

Then he heard a loud "crack" as he drove near Redfern Park in Redfern.

"This whole tree came crashing down, it stunned me for a second," Mr Chong said, adding the tree missed him by half-a-metre.

"I got out through the passenger side, people had to drag me out … everyone was very nice.

"(But) I don't feel any pain."

He said he's fine apart from a couple of cuts to his knuckle and head.

"Everyone said I should buy lotto," he said.

"Maybe I should – might win something."

Shocked bystanders filmed the aftermath as a shaken but uninjured Mr Chong grabbed items from the boot of the vehicle.

Video, uploaded to Facebook by Yianni Zinonos, shows the extent of damage done to the windscreen.

Mr Zinonos said it was remarkable the driver escaped unharmed.

"That's just unbelievable that the guy is OK," he said.

"This is an unbelievable sight, a whole tree fell on top of this car on the corner of Redfern Street and Chalmers Street."

It's not known what caused the tree to fall.

A spokesperson for the NSW State Emergency Service said it hadn't received a request to attend the incident but added wet ground and strong winds were typically the cause of large trees falling.

Damage from insects or disease could also cause branches to fall, the spokesperson said.

A City of Sydney spokesperson said nearby trees would be monitored for their condition.

"A fig tree in Redfern Park fell on to a car on Redfern Street at approximately 9am this morning," a statement read.

"The City of Sydney's tree maintenance provider was on site within 20 minutes to assist emergency services with the clean-up and removal of the tree.

"The tree was safely removed and the road re-opened within an hour of the incident occurring.

"The City's tree maintenance provider organised a qualified arborist to undertake a visual inspection of the park trees along Redfern Street.

"No further issues were identified – the trees will continue to be monitored."

The body of a 51-year-old woman was found inside a duffel bag on a street corner in Queens, New York, and a trail of blood stretched from there to her nearby home, according to a spokesperson for the New York Police Department.

The discovery was made just after 8am Saturday local time when police responded to a 911 call of a suspicious bag with blood on it at the corner of Metropolitan Avenue and Jackie Robinson Parkway, the NYPD said.

There, officers found a woman unconscious and unresponsive inside a duffel bag, and emergency responders pronounced her dead.

A trail of blood was followed to 72-24 Juno Street, the NYPD said, about a half-mile walk north-west of where the bag was found.

The woman was identified as Orsolya Gaal, who lived at the Juno Street home, police said.

There are no arrests yet and the investigation is ongoing, the NYPD said.

An icy cold front will bring the nation's first real taste of winter later this week, causing temperatures to plummet and wet weather across the south-east.

Victoria, NSW, South Australia, ACT and Tasmania will experience an icy blast as the system sweeps across the country.

Bureau meteorologist Jackson Browne said Melbourne and Sydney will see their coldest days on Friday.

"It is a decent drop…It is that first start to winter," Mr Browne told Today.

"We're seeing that front move through parts of Victoria today. That will lead to some cooler temperatures later in the week with it getting down to 9C by Friday morning.

"Sydney…they'll get their coldest day on Friday. It will be a solidly wet week for Sydney with the cold front moving through later this week and then it will be replaced by a high pressure system which will drive moisture to the coast."

Sydney has a minimum of 16C forecast on Friday, while Hobart and Canberra will both experience an icy low of 7C. Temperatures will drop to 11C in Adelaide.

The return of the rain — and cold snap — comes after a spate of sunny weather over the Easter long weekend.

That sun was short lived for Victoria, which saw a "wet Easter Monday".

New photos and a short video clip has emerged on social media showing Russia's guided-missile cruiser, the Moskva, badly damaged and on fire in the hours before the ship sank in the Black Sea on Thursday.

The sinking of the Black Sea fleet flagship was the biggest wartime loss of a naval ship in 40 years – and a huge embarrassment for Russia.

The images show the Moskva listing to one side, with black holes from possible missile puncture marks, and significant scarring at and just above the waterline on the port (left) side in the middle of the vessel.

A large plume of black smoke can be seen billowing upwards, partly obscuring the front of the stricken ship.

Analysts who spoke to CNN confirmed that the warship in the images looked like the Moskva, a Slava Class guided-missile destroyer and the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet.

Ukraine and Russia have provided conflicting accounts of what happened during Thursday's incident in the Black Sea.

Moscow has denied the Ukrainian version of events – that the Moskva sank after being struck by Ukrainian missiles – but it admitted the ship went down. Russia has insisted the reason for the sinking was a fire, but the US on Friday confirmed Ukraine's account, with a senior defence official saying that the US believes that two Ukrainian Neptune missiles hit the Russian warship.

Carl Schuster, a retired US Navy captain and former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center told CNN on Monday that his assessment was that the missiles penetrated below the ship's bridge and detonated.

"Assuming the photo is not faked in some way or photo-shopped, it looks like the missile(s) hit forward, which is not unexpected," he said. "Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs) tend to go for the centre of the radar return, which typically is the forward section of the superstructure."

H I Sutton, an independent defence analyst and author, told CNN the damage shown on the photos "does not rule out a missile strike(s), and it remains the likely cause."

"Possible puncture marks in the side of the hull are visible below where the fire is. But these would need closer examination to confirm whether they were caused by missiles or are simply fire damage," he said.

The Moskva was armed with a range of anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles as well as torpedoes, naval guns and missile defence systems, meaning it would have had large amounts of explosives aboard.

The Russian military has not released any information about casualties aboard the Moskva.

Russia's Ministry of Defence released a video Saturday showing what was described as officers and sailors of the sunken warship standing in formation two rows deep. The number of sailors in formation was not clear. It was unclear how many crew members were aboard, or how many survived.

Sutton says the images show that all the life rafts have been deployed, "All of the aft life raft canisters have been jettisoned, although one remains on the aft deck. This suggests that the crew have already abandoned ship at this point," he said.

A large Russian rescue tug can be seen dousing the warship with water on the far side.

The Kremlin on Monday said it had seen the photos of the Moskva, but that they could not verify them. "Yes, we really saw the footage, but we cannot say how authentic and true it is," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

A senior US defence official who said that they had also seen the photos and video of the ship burning told CNN Monday the US "can't independently verify those images."

"But the images themselves comport with what we had assessed to be the damage done to the ship," the official said.

The photographers of the images and video are unknown, but they were taken from a vessel close to the stricken warship. In the short video taken from the same vantage point a voice from an unseen person can be heard shouting in Russian: "F— (inaudible) what you did!"

The Moskva was one of Russia's most visible assets in the Ukraine war and its loss could impact the morale of Russian troops.

Tellingly, the Russian government has not acknowledged casualties in the sinking of the ship, a marked contrast to the very public discussion about the Kursk submarine disaster, which claimed the lives of 118 sailors in 2000.

Analysts say the loss of the warship would have struck hard at the heart of the Russian navy as well as national pride, comparable to the US Navy losing a battleship during World War II or an aircraft carrier today.

"Only the loss of a ballistic missile submarine or the Kutznetsov (Russia's lone aircraft carrier) would inflict a more serious blow to Russian morale and the navy's reputation with the Russian public," Schuster said.
