ace game888.com Nathan Cleary’s ‘tough’ admission on having kids with Mary FowlerVienna: The far right won an Austrian regional election by landslide on Sunday, securing its grip on the Alpine country after a historic victory in the legislative ballot in late September. The Freedom Party (FPOe) secured 35 percent of the vote in the southeastern state of Styria, up by 17 percent on the 2019 results. They defeated the conservatives with a score of 26.8 percent and the social-democrats with 21.1 percent, according to the final results aired by broadcaster ORF. The vote marks the first time the far right comes out victorious in the region, which is currently ruled by left- and right-wing parties. A former defence minister between December 2017 and May 2019, FPOe candidate Mario Kunasek's campaign focused on anti-immigration rhetoric and defending car owners. Kunasek, a 48-year-old army veteran, will hold talks with other political parties to try and form a majority, which would lift him into the top job of province governor. But before the vote, the conservatives and social-democrats had made clear their intention to renew their alliance. as they lack enough seats between them, they will need to find a third coalition partner -- likely the Greens or the liberals. If he did succeed in becoming governor, Kunasek would be the first far-right politician to do so since the late Jorg Haider, who took the prestigious role in 1989. The head of the FPOe at the federal level, radical politician Herbert Kickl, commended the party's "historic" success, amplifying a "wave of renewal". After this "major slap for the parties of the system", Kickl called for the will of the voters to be respected in Styria and across Austria. Although it is the strongest group in parliament, the FPOe has so far been left out of talks led by outgoing conservative chancellor Karl Nehammer to form a government.

Affinity Bancshares director Roberts sells $15,114 in stockNovember 24 - Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was taken to a hospital to be evaluated for a concussion following an injury late in the first half of Sunday's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs. As Sanders was tackled near the sideline after a 10-yard reception, he was flipped upside down and landed directly on the top of his helmet. After receiving attention from the team's medical staff, he was strapped to a backboard and taken off the field on a cart with 40 seconds remaining in the half. On the CBS broadcast following halftime, Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Sanders had movement in all his extremities, while extreme precaution was taken because of back tightness. CBS later reported he had a concussion. The 21-year-old rookie out of Texas had a team-leading three receptions for the Panthers at the half for 49 yards. In 11 games this season, Sanders has 29 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown. Sanders was a fourth-round selection in the NFL draft in April. --Field Level Media Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tab

Street curling, holiday light show return to Franklin Square for winter festivalHow much political donors will be able to contribute to campaigns will be capped but the finer details of electoral laws remain elusive despite a rush to pass them. or signup to continue reading Individuals would only be able to donate $20,000 and donations above $1000 will have to be disclosed in near real time. But the thresholds aren't set in stone. The Liberals, Nationals and some teal independents are negotiating to increase the donation cap by tens of thousands of dollars - potentially as high as $50,000 - and increase the disclosure limit, with one suggestion to double it to $2000. Increasing the total election spending cap - set at $90 million for political parties and $11 million for special interest groups such as unions and Climate 200 - is also featuring in negotiations ahead of the bill coming before the Senate on Monday. In principle, Labor's legislation is what transparency and reform advocates called for but it's struggling to find friends outside the major parties with independents accusing the government and coalition of a political stitch-up. It's revitalised grassroots supporters with 100 volunteers signing up for independent ACT senator David Pocock's re-election campaign in a single night after the proposed reforms were announced. Extra public cash for candidates to run elections will disproportionately benefit major parties and boost their coffers by millions of dollars not available to independents, crossbenchers argue. Liberals have privately raised concerns about an $800,000 cap per electorate exceeding the $90 million federal cap when all 150 seats are accounted for, meaning the full amount couldn't be spent on each campaign. Despite not all electorates drawing the same expenditure, with major parties putting minimal resources into near-unwinnable seats, there were concerns this could hamper Liberals facing well-resourced independents. Half a dozen Liberals were unseated by teals in 2022. Independents only need to focus on a single seat and can spend up to the cap without worrying about breaching it elsewhere, one Liberal MP said. And while groups such as Climate 200 can spend a lot less than political parties federally, they were targeting fewer seats where advertising could be concentrated, they said. The same argument is being made behind the scenes about minor parties such as the Greens following outcry about the reforms stacking the field for major parties, which Labor disagrees with. But Senator Pocock still questioned whether his history-making victory at the 2022 election could have happened under the reforms due to a mismatch in funds major parties would have had against him. While caps for all Senate candidates are the same - $200,000 per electorate in the state - political parties had their federal war chests they could use to broadly advertise in key seats or states while he would be limited to $600,000. "That's not a level playing field," he said. Senator Pocock and the Greens are likely to vote against the bill in its entirety, arguing there's a lack of scrutiny in the rush to pass a bill that disproportionately helps majors despite it not taking effect until mid-2026, after the next election. The laws are set to start in mid-2026, which would capture the election slated for 2028. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.
