The 4.3-million Australian dollar ($2.7-million) price tag for the four-bedroom, clifftop home has been highlighted in the news media as many Australians struggle with a shortage of affordable housing.“I understand I’m fortunate. I also know what it is like to struggle,” Albanese said of his new home.

Since Howard was voted out as prime minister after 11 years in 2007, six people have held the job — including the current Australian Ambassador to the United States, who held it twice in separate stints three years apart. Most of those who led their parties to election victories werein the face of poor opinion polling.

The only leader to serve a full three-year term was Scott Morrison, who replaced ousted Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull nine months before the 2019 election and remained in office until his government was defeated by Albanese in 2022.That leaves Albanese with a chance to become the first prime minister since Howard to win back-to-back elections.

Albanese’s durability could be explained in part by a change of Labor’s rules that make dumping a sitting prime minister more difficult.

When Rudd returned to the helm a second time in 2013, he got his party to tighten the rules for switching leader.

Party members who pay a membership fee but don’t hold elected offices also have a say in the result.group who had gone missing, were found in the northern city of Reynosa along the Texas border, authorities said on Thursday.

The musicians from the band Grupo Fugitivo, which played at parties and local dances in the region, had been reported missing since Sunday.Tamaulipas state prosecutors, who had been investigating their disappearance, said the men were kidnapped around 10 p.m. that night while traveling in a SUV on the way to a venue where they were hired to play. Their bodies were found on the fringes of Reynosa. Prosecutors said nine suspects believed to be part of a faction of the Gulf Cartel, which has strong presence in the city, have been arrested.

Authorities were not immediately able to say why the men were slain, and did not deny reports by local media that the bodies had been burned.The genre they played – Mexican regional music, which encapsulates a wide range of styles including corridos and cumbia – has in recent years gained a spotlight as it’s entered a sort of international musical renaissance. Young artists sometimes pay homage to leaders of drug cartels, often portrayed as Robin Hood-type figures.
