Sydney: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz called for a national election on Friday, May 3, which launched a five -week campaign that dominates cost pressure.

Prime Minister Albancy’s Labor Party won a majority in the last federal elections in 2022, but in the recent voting elections, the party’s neck and neck show the liberal national alliance of opposition when the votes of the smaller parties are re -divided.

He told a press conference, “Our government has chosen the Australian path to face global challenges-helping people get cost pressure while building for the future.” “Due to the power and flexibility our people have shown, Australia is turning to the corner. Now on May 3, you will choose the path ahead.”

Albanians met with the country’s Governor General Sam Moston in the early morning to allow the country to formally call the elections, as the Australian Constitution needs. The Governor General represents the head of the Australian state, King Charles of Britain.

Rigorous campaign

Albanian has announced many steps to appease families and businesses in recent months, including Tuesday’s budget deduction, which is ready to dominate the campaign in the country.

On Friday, Albaniz focused on the opposition liberal and national alliance on the attack on its election campaign, saying it would complete government programs and dismiss the minor tax deductions by Parliament.

Nearly -run elections may mean that no party or party’s alliance itself will be able to form a government itself, rather than relying on smaller parties and independent candidates to order a majority in the country’s lower house.

Albanian, who has long been a labor legislator who has flourished in public housing, has faced popularity as residential costs and interest rates have increased rapidly.

The declining inflation and the decision to reduce interest rates for the first time in the February meeting of the Australian Central Bank have done very little to help Albanian polling numbers.

After enjoying a healthy lead for most of his tenure, his personal approval is now close to liberal leader Peter Dutton, a former police officer and the last Liberal National Government in the last Liberal National Government.

Dutton has launched a campaign on the residence crisis, which he says is removing home ownership from leakage, and on Friday, he said that reducing permanent migration by 25 % will create more houses.

Dutton told reporters that reducing energy costs for small businesses and households would be in his government center if he was elected.

“If energy is unbearable and unreliable, it is a catastrophe for the economy,” he said, criticizing the transfer of labor renewed energy to the economy.

He said that a liberal and national government would preserve gas which is not already under the export agreement to meet Australian demand, so that electricity prices for manufacturers and supermarkets can be reduced.

“It is important that we respect our foreign export contracts, but it is important that we make sure that we can take care of Australians first,” he said.

Long -term, Dutton plans to adopt nuclear power in the country.

Dutton promised a deduction for fuel excise that he said, compared to labor tax deductions, which began next year, will be relieved of households after filling homes.

The two leaders have promised $ 8.5 billion ($ 5.42 billion) in four years to advance the country’s healthcare system.

Referring to how his wrong pensioner mother was treated at the same government hospital like Australian billionaire, Albanian restored a frightened campaign on Friday, which dominated the 2016 elections, suggesting that the alliance would reduce medical. Dutton has said he will compete with the labor plan to raise the medical fund for doctors’ visits.

Another problem in the campaign will be to better handle relations with US President Donald Trump, who implemented the prices of steel and aluminum that affect Australian exports. Trump is expected to announce more prices on trade partners next week.

Albanian said his government was “engaged on a daily basis” with the Trump administration about the taxes, and he identified two phone calls with the US president and the preliminary meetings between the defense of the two countries and the Foreign Ministers.

Without naming Trump, Albanian tried to cast Dutton as a adoption of policies like Trump, such as a reduction in government employees.

“Many ideas have been borrowed from others,” Albanian said in his press conference. We need an Australian path. “
