This 59-year-old has had a long career in politics, and with the federal election campaign in full swing, is rarely out of the headlines. Sometimes what he doesn't say - or isn't able to say - makes more headlines than what he does say. He is a single dad, a party leader and regularly mentions how much of a rugby league fan he is. Do you recognise this very famous Australian politician from a schoolboy picture of him? He went to a religious school, which is where this picture was taken, and often professes his faith is a big part of who he is.

The mystery boy pictured above grew up to be Labor leader Anthony Albanese. The religious school he went to was the Catholic St Mary's Cathedral College in Sydney's city centre. He has been a South Sydney rugby league fan since he was a child and has always been a Labor supporter. Mr Albanese once famously said that he was raised with three faiths - 'the Catholic Church, South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Labor Party'. After finishing school, he worked for the Commonwealth Bank for two years before studying economics at the University of Sydney. He has been the MP for the inner west Sydney seat of Grayndler since 1996.
