Anthony Albanese and Jodie Haydon receive wedding well-wishes from friends and political opponents

Anthony Albanese’s political friends and foes alike have sent their best wishes after the Prime Minister married his partner Jodie Haydon on Saturday.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley wished the couple “every happiness” as they continued building a life together.

“A wedding day is a very special day indeed,” she told Sky News on Sunday morning.

Her offsider, Nationals leader David Littleproud, said he was genuinely happy for the pair and was full of praise for Ms Haydon.

“Jodie has already stepped up on the international stage and represented us in such a classy way for some time, and now they’ve solidified their partnership with marriage,” he told ABC’s Insiders.

“It’s great to see the PM’s got someone that loves him and is going to get to be with him. It’s a tough job and it’s a lonely job, let alone being Prime Minister.

Finance Minister Katy Gallagher, one of Mr Albanese’s key political allies and friends, was among the small contingent of guests for what she described as a lovely day.

“They’re very in love. You’ve seen the photos. Toto played a key role,” she told Sky News.

The low-key ceremony in the gardens of his official Canberra residence, the Lodge, was kept under wraps for security reasons.

Mr Albanese and Ms Haydon paid the costs of the event themselves.

Senator Gallagher said that “it would be difficult if you’re Prime Minister to get married anywhere”, given public scrutiny and security concerns in the current era.

“The PM has been a very proud Canberra PM, he loves being in the nation’s capital, sees it as a real part of his job to govern from Canberra. They made the decision that that was the appropriate venue,” she said.

Ms Ley declined to comment on the choice of venue, saying only: “I am OK with it being at the Lodge.”
