Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz was re -elected in Saturday with an expanded majority, and the offer of projections became the first leader in the country in 21 years to win the successive elections.
Albaniz will enter his second term as the Labor Party hero after he led his party to successive victories. Broadcasting Corp Australian was at 10:05 pm Sydney time that the work government would win at least 85 seats compared to 77 seats in the previous period.
“Today, the Australian people voted in favor of the Australian values,” Albaniz said after he got victory in Sydney. “For fairness, ambition and opportunity for everyone.”
Albanz managed an almost flawed campaign, as it turned into the ballot boxes at the beginning of the year, which suggested that he was heading to defeat. In contrast, opposition leader Peter Daton has often contradicted himself, retracting policies, and even forcing him to apologize for the mismanagement of the Indonesian president.
Datton admitted defeat after he lost his seat in front of the Labor Party, and told Brisbane’s supporters that he had contacted the Prime Minister to congratulate him on his victory.
“We did not do a good job enough during this campaign, and this is clear tonight and I accept full responsibility for that.”
During its first term, the left government in Albaniz struggled with opposite winds such as sticky inflation, high interest rates and housing crisis that risk a reverse reaction. The government has sought to calm these concerns with additional tax cuts and discounts in the pre -election budget.
The recovery of the Labor Party through the global fluctuations raised by the tariff program of US President Donald Trump, which was unveiled during the first week of the campaign. In Australia, the uncertainty tends to return the voters towards the job operator, and this is compatible with a more focused performance on the hostens from Albanz.
The Prime Minister carried out a platform for stability, while comparisons are taking place between Dateon, a former policeman in Queensland and Trump, who is unpopular in Australia.
“At this time of global uncertainty, the Australians chose optimism and design,” Albaniz said in the victory speech. “The Australians chose to face global challenges to the Australian method, and take each other while building the future.”
The Labor Party’s victory came days after the legs of the legs in Canada, a fourth period, and as a result of the expectations that the new leader and former banker Mark Carne would be able to manage the American leader.
In his speech, Daton said that he told Albanez that the mother of the late Prime Minister, who raised him on a disability pension, would be proud of what he accomplished.
Albanez will have to wrestle with the economy at a crossroads as the main growth drivers, immigration and the housing sector – are under pressure. Economists say that the clear response is a major reform program to revive economic dynamics and raise living standards, which is something that the Prime Minister has moved away, respectively, due to the relevant political risks.
Both sides sought to transfer that they had a solution to the housing crisis in Australia. Albaniz promised to pour billions of dollars in real estate for buyers for the first time, while also allowing them to buy homes with deposits of up to 5 %.
At the same time, the Labor Party has an opportunity to support clean energy policies and provide greater certainty to investors.
The central left government presented a group of carbon and renewable goals during its first term and committed to spending heavily on clean energy and manufacturing. On the campaign path, I announced a new cheapest home batteries program to support storage from behind the match to alleviate the cost of living.
The elections were a rare example of the external events in the campaign.
On April 2, five days after Albanez described the vote, Trump announced his plans for “mutual” definitions, including a cost of 10 % on Australian exports, causing voters’ concern with the decline in markets around the world.
Then in the fourth week, when the Australians began to vote early, Pope Francis died, prompting the two parties to stop their campaigns shortly.
