Australia Election 2025: Rising inflation and lack of housing may become the main election issues in the upcoming general election in Australia on May 3. The country's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's leftist 'Labor Party' is trying to form the government for the second time in a row. On Friday, Prime Minister Albanese started the election process by visiting the official residence of Governor General Sam Mostyn and later announced the date of the election at a press conference held at Parliament House.

Statement of Prime Minister Albanese

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, "Our government has adopted the Australian way to face global challenges. Our aim is to help people struggling with the pressure of cost of living while building for the future. "

At present, Albanese's Labor Party has 78 seats in the lower house, only two seats more than the majority.

Role of opposition in the election

Many political analysts believe that the conservative coalition led by opposition leader Peter Dutton's 'Liberal Party' can perform strongly in this election.

Since Albanese came to power, the cost of living in Australia has increased significantly. Interest rates have been increased 12 times since the last election, increasing the economic pressure on the general public.

Housing crisis and government plans

Prime Minister Albanese had promised to build 12 lakh houses in five years in 2023 to overcome the housing crisis, but the pace of work in this direction has been relatively slow. The opposition is constantly attacking the government on this issue and can make it a major topic of election debate.

Election prospects and voters' priorities

Inflation and housing crisis are prominent among the priorities of the public before the election. Voters will be looking at which party can offer a better solution to these issues.

This election in Australia can prove to be a deciding factor in the economic and social direction of the country. In the coming days, with election campaigns and debates, it will be clear which party the public trusts.
