Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, whose Labor Party will be defending a three-seat majority, announced the date after visiting the Governor General in the capital, Canberra, on Friday.

Its open approach meant Canberra bombers, flying from RAF Pershore in Worcestershire, could fly very low without crossing built-up areas, making it the ideal place to test radar with full-size targets.

There were victories too for Canberra Raiders and Penrith Panthers in the NRL matches.

The team faced seven matches in 19 days: a Sydney Select side were thumped 86-0, before an Australian Capital Territory side were defeated 36-0 in Canberra, where the first Test against Australia was also held.

Earlier this month, Canberra said a Chinese fighter jet had released flares in front of an Australian military aircraft while flying over the South China Sea.
