Overall ethical score
+26.11
Reasoned summary
Albanese's government has delivered moderate social and climate benefits through democratic institutions. Its ethical record remains constrained by inherited but continued refugee policies and limited structural progress on Indigenous and human-rights protection.
This assessment presents six separate ethical dimensions rather than one overall moral score. Each result must be read with its evidence, plausible range, confidence, disputes, exclusions, severe-harm findings and sources.
Most significant negative evidence
The score is reduced by continuation of offshore detention, weak federal human-rights protection, insufficient progress on Indigenous disadvantage and costly military commitments.
