Now the prime minister, Anthony Albanese appears as a shadowy Labor fix-it man in Rats in the Ranks, the iconic documentary by Bob Connolly, and Robin Anderson, which will be screened at the Arc Cinema at the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra next week.
The special screening will be followed by a Q and A with Connolly who says Albanese later became enamoured with the access-all-areas documentary, about the gripping, bruising mayoral vote at Leichhardt Council in 1994, the film released in 1996.
