The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, convened national elections for May 3. Thus began a five -week campaign which will be dominated by the debate on the increase in prices and the cost of living. Albanian Labor Party Won the last federal elections in 2022and replaced Scott Morrison, ending nine years of conservative government. The most recent surveys show, however, that the work is linked to the intention to vote with the liberal national coalition, which anticipates very close results that could hinder the formation of the government.
“Our government has chosen to face global challenges Australian: helping people who are under pressure for the cost of living, while we built for the future,” he said in a press conference this Friday (Thursday evening in Spain). “Thanks to the strength and resilience that our people have shown, Australia is going on. Now, on May 3, choose the way of following.”
The Albanians met early on Friday morning (now Australian), with the governor general of the country, Sam Mosyn, to request permission to call the federal elections at national level. According to the constitution of the country, the prime minister must formally request this approval of being able to call the polls to citizens. The chosen date is imposed by the limitation of the three years of the mandates in Australia, since that of the current Parliament ends on May 17th.
The prime minister, a long -term job raised in government homes, came to power led by a wave of personal popularity, which was affected by inflation and a strong increase in interest rates during his mandate. The recent drop in prices and the decision of the Central Bank of Australia to reduce these interest rates for the first time have not been able to convince the Albanians to live in polls as it could be expected. After enjoying a comfortable advantage during much of his mandate, his approval rates are now close to those of the liberal leader, Peter Dutton, former police officer and interior minister in the last government of the liberal party.
