Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard speaks at the national press club in Canberra, Australia, Thursday, July 15, 2010. Australia's government bolstered its economic credentials ahead of looming elections by releasing new treasury data Wednesday that showed its reversal on a promised mining tax had not diminished its budget forecasts. The latest figures are even better than the treasury's last budget outlook, released in May, which showed Australia's finances would be back in surplus in the 2012-13 fiscal year despite billions of dollars in government stimulus spending to avoid recession. The improvement, largely due to soaring prices for Australian energy and mineral exports, is expected to come despite Prime Minister Julia Gillard abandoning plans to introduce a 40 percent tax on mining companies' burgeoning profits.(AP Photo/Mark Graham)

澳大利亚总理吉拉德周三(1月30日)出人意料地提前宣布,今年9月14日为大选日期。吉拉德在记者会上解释说,提前宣布日期是为使2013年获得一种“形式和秩序”,所有各方均能从容做准备,“寻求平静的和理性的咨询”,不致过于匆忙投入选战。迄今,澳大利亚政府的惯例是,在投票前数周才公布投票日期,以尽可能缩短选战期。吉拉德所在的工党有可能在下届大选中失利。最新民意调查结果显示,在野的保守党将赢得大选。澳大利亚本届议会将于8月12日解散。
