Anthony Albanese has used the end of the longest overseas trip of his prime ministership to make a public plea for a Middle Eastern grocery giant to enter the Australian market in a bid to bring down supermarket prices as he toured one of the world’s biggest mosques alongside partner Jodie Haydon.

Albanese arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Monday, when he exchanged notes on the war in Gaza with the country’s leader as the opposition continued to blast him for agreeing to deliver a keynote address at the British Labour Party conference in Liverpool.

While in Abu Dhabi on a refuelling stop before returning to Australia after an 11-day trip across three nations, Albanese and Haydon visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, which is capable of holding about 7800 worshippers.
