The Labor Party would need four more seats to gain a majority, allowing them to govern without needing to ally with minority-party or independent representatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Australians have increasingly supported more government action on climate change, even in conservative areas, giving Labor Party and Independent candidates an edge in the election over conservatives, the Journal explained. Inflation also played a key part in the election among urban and suburban voters, who ultimately decided on Left-leaning candidates to handle the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To fight inflation and climate change, Albanese\u2019s Labor Party has promised to increase the minimum wage and set a goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Albanese has also touted his name and upbringing as evidence he will bring progressive change to the Australian government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt says a lot about our great country that a son of a single mom who was a disability pensioner, who grew up in public housing down the road in Camperdown can stand before you tonight as Australia\u2019s prime minister,\u201d Albanese said in a Saturday victory speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The newly elected prime minister has said he is the first Australian candidate with a \u201cnon-Anglo Celtic name\u201d to run for the office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cEvery parent wants more for the next generation than they had,\u201d Albanese continued. \u201cMy mother dreamt of a better life for me. And I hope that my journey in life inspires Australians to reach for the stars.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Australia\u2019s shift to the Left also comes as its relationship with communist China continues to intensify, the Journal noted. In 2020, Morrison called for an international investigation into COVID-19 and its origins in China. The communist country then placed tariffs on Australian coal, barley, and wine imports while also being accused by the Australian government of shining a laser from one of its navy ships at an Australian surveillance aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Albanese, like Morrison, has called for tough action on China, but the prime minister-elect argued that his predecessor has not done enough to curb Chinese aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the AP, the Labor Party has proposed starting a Pacific defense training to help neighboring countries respond to any potential threats from the Chinese military.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australians voted in favor of a leftist government Saturday, stripping the center-Right party of its power for the first time in nine years.Prime Minister-elect Anthony Albanese of the leftist Labor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":1487045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1487033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1487033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/324"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1487033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1487033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1487045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1487033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1487033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1487033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
