Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a federal election on 3 May .

Cyclone Alfred blew the government's election plans off course after Cyclone hit Australia 's east coast earlier this month .

Albanese wants a second term to reset his government.

The Labor Party leader is facing headwinds from Peter Dutton , the Liberal Party leader.

The Albanese government faces the unenviable prospect of being the first which fails to win a second term since 1931 .

With Albanese firing the starting gun today , Australians have just over a month of intense campaigning to decide who they want to lead them through the next three years .

The candidates would be foolish to ignore the global political headwinds.
