A little over a year ago, Anthony Albanese thought he was about to die. As he drove home in his Toyota sedan on 8 January 2021, a Range Rover on the wrong side of the road ploughed straight into him. Recounting the crash this week, he says: “I thought, this is how it ends.”
We know the story ended differently. The Labor leader lived, but sustained serious injuries. Recovery took time and protracted medical attention – more than he confessed to at the time.
