Election 2022

Grace Tame has slammed Anthony Albanese's decision to do an interview with media personality Alan Jones.

And so she’s the most important role model in my life and she’s very much still part of who I am today.” Her strength makes Australia stronger,” Mr Albanese posted on Twitter. How do you get to that?” he asked. “She always respected everyone and I grew up with the confidence of having a mum who lived a lot of her aspirations through me. “It’s a privilege to be on your program so early. But you’re talking about significant reductions by 2030... “Well, that will be a decision that they make on how they deal with the mechanism that was put in place by the Abbott government,” Mr Albanese said. Jones has been an outspoken supporter of Israel Folau’s right to free speech, after the former Wallabies star was sacked by Rugby Australia in 2019 after he wrote on social media that “hell awaits” gay people. The 81-year-old wrote an apology letter to Ms Ardern and admitted that he had “made a mistake”. “In this game you’ve got to choose your words carefully and I didn’t do that,” he said at the time. I congratulate you and I look forward to coming on in the future,” Mr Albanese told Jones in the segment, which aired at 8pm. “Good to chat with Alan Jones today in his new Sydney studios,” he wrote, beside a photo of the pair shaking hands.

Son of Philippines' late dictator tipped to win presidency as Filipinos head to the polls to elect a new leader.

Instead, the incumbent vice president queued for nearly two hours to vote in Magarao, a poor municipality outside Naga City in Souther Luzon, where her family owns property. In addition to the president, many Filipinos will be voting for a range of candidates including legislators, senators, and local leaders. “This election is really a good versus evil campaign,” University of the Philippines Diliman political scientist Aries Arugay told Al Jazeera. “It’s quite clear. We are scared of Marcos Jr. coming back to power, especially paired with Sara Duterte,” she also said. He has hailed his late father’s “genius” leadership, and avoided media interviews and debates. Then, a bell rang to signal the opening of polls and the voters started coming in. “I’m feeling really anxious. “I couldn’t vote in the last elections because of uncertainty in my overseas location for work, but I try to vote when I can. Counting of ballots will begin right away. He is the son and namesake of his father who ruled the Philippines as a dictator until he was forced from office and into exile in a popular uprising in 1986. The contest has shaped into a two-way race between Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr and the current Vice President Leni Robredo. The pair had previously faced off in the vice presidential race in 2016, with Marcos losing to Robredo at the time. Top contenders in Monday’s vote are Ferdinand Marcos Jr, the son and namesake of the Philippines’ late dictator, and the current Vice President Leni Robredo.

The vice president has been an outspoken critic of President Rodrigo Duterte and a frequent target of his insults. She is the only woman on the ballot for ...

In a Bloomberg poll that asked investors and analysts who they thought would be the best person to lead the economy, Mr. Marcos came in near the bottom. Leni Robredo, who was elected separately from Mr. Duterte, is an outspoken critic of the president and a frequent target of his insults. Little is known about the economic plans of Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the front-runner. Mr. Marcos, known by his boyhood nickname, “Bongbong,” served as vice governor, governor and congressman in Ilocos Norte, the family stronghold, for most of the period between the 1980s and 2010. Mr. Marcos’s main rival is Vice President Leni Robredo, who defeated him in a close election six years ago. In an interview, Tricia Robredo, one of Ms. Robredo’s daughters, said her mother had been reluctant to run because she had told her family that she would not run for office again. The family is accused of looting as much as $10 billion from the government before fleeing to Hawaii in 1986, when the peaceful “ People Power” protests toppled the Marcos regime. In 2016, she beat Mr. Marcos narrowly to win the vice presidency. The Philippines is the only U.S. treaty ally bordering the South China Sea, a vital maritime shipping route and the site of various territorial disputes between Beijing and several countries in Southeast Asia. During his presidential campaign, he has portrayed himself as a unifier, while false narratives online reimagine his father’s regime as a “ golden era” in the nation’s history. In this archipelago nation of 110 million people, major election issues include climate change and the economy. Mr. Duterte is limited to a single six-year term under the Constitution.

The counting of votes will begin as soon as the polls shut, and the winner has previously been determined within hours. In a polarising campaign between frontrunner Ferdinand Marcos Jr, the son of the late dictator, and a human rights lawyer who has vowed to fight old, corrupt politics, polls in the Philippines opened on Monday to elect the country's next president. Philippines Election 2022: Voters streamed to polling stations on Monday, with the prospect of a once-unthinkable return to rule of a member of the Marcos family, 36 years after strongman Ferdinand Marcos was ousted in a "people power" uprising.

About 65.7 million registered voters across the country cast their ballots to replace populist leader Rodrigo Duterte, who steps down after six years. For the ...

On that occasion Marcos Jr lost, despite leading in the polls for most of the race. Marcos Sr died in exile three years later, but his family returned in 1991 and became wealthy, influential politicians, with successive family members representing their dynastic stronghold of Ilocos Norte. As well as the lives of the people, every place in the country should be peaceful. Despite his record on human rights and the Covid-19 pandemic, which made the country's hunger crisis worse "For me, it's about addressing criminality, people's security, and the security of the country. "Our situation is not good now, the prices of goods are too high.

Updated at 5:53 a.m. ET on 2022-05-09. Philippine voters stood in long lines Monday to cast ballots in a general election that may sweep the son of a once ...

A peaceful people’s power revolt led to the Marcos family fleeing the country in 1986. Authorities believe Marcos and his wife plundered as much as U.S. $10 billion from the nation’s coffers. There were people inside the town hall in Datu Unsay –the grenade launchers were fired inside,” said Col. Jibin Bongcayao, a local police official. “We do not want the integrity of the elections questioned because that is when confusion arises. It’s because he’s part of a tandem. The Duterte-Marcos axis is winning big in this election.” Three village officials were killed when gunmen aboard two white vans strafed a polling place in Buluan, in Maguindanao province, a report from the 16th Military Intelligence Company said. That’s the solution; when the machines arrive, that’s the time we will insert it for the count. “Another Marcos is now the favorite, quite a big frontrunner to become the next president of the Philippines,” the analyst added. “We will just collect the ballots. Officials had yet to announce voter turnout figures. Presidential front-runner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of the late Filipino dictator, appeared poised to return the Marcos family to the presidential palace for the first time in 36 years, according to opinion surveys in the months leading to the vote.

Sara Duterte, daughter of outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte is tipped for Vice President.

The vote has been marred by violence. His daughter, Sara Duterte-Carpio, is tipped to win the vice presidency. The shooting came after the explosion of five grenades outside a polling station in Datu Unsay municipality late on Sunday that left nine people wounded.

As polling stations open across the country, the dictator's son seems set to be elected the country's 17th president.

As the leading political commentator Richard Javad Heydarian told Reuters, “The stakes are higher than any other election in recent years, with Marcos likely to overhaul the constitution to entrench his power if he wins, and Robredo in a position to prevent a Marcosian hegemony.” If Marcos wins by the landslide that voter preference surveys seem to suggest, it will mark the dizzying culmination of a years-long campaign by the family to reestablish itself after its shameful exile in the wake of the People Power uprising. But given the gulf separating her from Marcos, a massive late surge in support or record low turnout are the only means by which Robredo can win the presidency. No doubt many such questions will be asked and pondered if, as expected the younger Marcos succeeds his father as president. But since the early 1990s, the family has steadily rebuilt its political power. Eight other candidates, including former boxing star Manny Pacquiao, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, and former national police chief Panfilo Lacson lag far behind Marcos and Robredo in the polls.

People ask all the time, if I'm gonna be Richard Shelby 2.0, and I say, I've learned a great deal from that man, and I will always be grateful,” said Britt.

“It’s hard for me to determine exactly who Katie Britt is and where she is located on that continuum. In March, she declined to directly answer whether she believes Republicans in the race are facing a purity test from Trump. Britt was elected student body president in the 6th grade and again in college, according to her mother. I appreciate her wanting our country to be back the way it was before Biden.” Britt said she wasn’t without self-doubt as someone from small-town Alabama without a family political lineage. She’s anti-abortion, pro second amendment, and has signed a pledge to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci for possible corruption during his role leading the National Institute of Health in the pandemic. Britt went to church and Sunday school with many of them Britt, who has been endorsed by the influential Alabama Farmers Federation’s FarmPAC, says her policy priorities are bringing education opportunities across the state through charter schools and by expanding broadband access in Alabama to help businesses. Britt vowed to advocate for them and to fight for Christian, conservative values. Her two opponents have made few claims to become the next Shelby, as U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, has emerged as a national figure in the culture wars, one known for his bombastic speech before the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, and one closely aligned with former President Donald Trump -- until Trump dropped him. Britt says she can, and Shelby himself has backed her campaign, looking to catapult his former chief of staff into his seat. I am going to be Senator Katie Britt, I’m gonna be outspoken on conservative causes, and I’m gonna fight every single day for hard-working Alabamians,” she said.

A disillusioned segment of society looks back on the Marcos years as a golden era for the country. In 1986, the Philippines ousted the first Ferdinand Marcos after 21 years of authoritarian rule. For years, the Marcos family's massive theft was considered established fact. "He can even try to use it as a cover for clawing back ill-gotten wealth already recovered by the government." The historic election was marred by violence and malfunctioning vote counting machines. Amnesty International estimates that during the elder Marcos' two-decade reign — about half of which the nation spent under Marial Law — some 70,000 people were jailed, 34,000 tortured, and more than 3,000 killed.

A public-interest lawyer and former congresswoman, she narrowly defeated Marcos for the vice presidency in 2016. They returned to the Philippines in the 1990s. She has been the prime target of disinformation operations and lags behind Marcos by 33 points. Marcos and his running mate, Sara Duterte-Carpio, Davao City mayor and daughter of the incumbent president, enjoy a significant lead over their opponents, according to the latest polls. The family fled to Hawaii, where they lived in exile, after the 1986 People Power revolution. Presidents serve only a single term and are elected separately from the vice president.
