  Under his leadership, Labor supported the Morrison government 's stage three tax cuts, despite the party being earlier opposed. Albanese led the Opposition during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which he took bipartisian positions on the government's response. On 4 July 2020, Labor won the 2020 Eden-Monaro by-election, despite a swing against it. On 22 November 2021, Albanese accused prime minister Scott Morrison of lying to Parliament. In December 2021, Albanese held a major campaign rally, unveiling Labor's slogan, "A Better Future".
  
  In February 2022, Albanese announced Labor would support the Morrison government's controversial religious discrimination bill. Labor successfully passed amendments to the bill to add protections for transgender school students after five Liberal MPs crossed the floor to vote in favour. After this, the government shelved the bill due to being unwilling to accept the amendments.
