The market title asks a binary question about Anthony Albanese, but the rules are written as a multi-choice or candidate market that resolves to the individual who is officially appointed and sworn in. A reader looking only at the question might expect a simple Yes/No on Albanese holding office post-election, whereas the rules also specify resolving to 'Other' if no prime minister is sworn in by the June 30, 2029 deadline. The rules explicitly exclude interim or caretaker roles and require formal swearing-in following either the 2028 election or an early election. Resolution primarily relies on official government sources, with credible reporting as a secondary option.
