Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim Kyung-Hoon Koike ? Speculation has persisted that  Koike   a former LDP member and defense minister  would resign to run for a seat in parliament needed to make a bid for the premiership.
“I have been saying I will not run for the election from the beginning ”  Koike  said in an interview with the Yomiuri newspaper reported on Tuesday.
If  Koike  does not personally contest this election  then analysts believe she would hope her party positions itself to win the next national poll  and that she gains a voter boost from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
But  Koike ’s new Party of Hope - launched just last week as a “reformist  conservative” alternative to Abe’s equally conservative LDP - has clouded the outlook amid signs voters are disillusioned with Abe after nearly five years in power.
 Koike ’s dilemma was whether to run for a seat now and face a backlash from voters for quitting as governor little more than a year since she defied the LDP to run successfully for the post  or risk letting a shot at the top job slip through her fingers.
“ Koike  is tough   she ’s resilient and  she  can tap into the fact that Abe’s negative ratings are pretty high and a lot of people out there are unhappy with him ” Kingston said.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Susan Avery ? The clock has finally run out for an Upper East Side judge who ridiculed a lawyer with cerebral palsy and allowed cases involving tenants without heat or hot water to drag on   sources told The Post . The Manhattan Housing Court ’ s advisory council   which reviews its judges after each four - year term   recently ruled that jurist Susan Avery should get the boot — as it catalogued years of complaints against her   sources said . Avery ’ s chief - judge boss is now set to follow through on the recommendation by the end of the year   sources said . “ Considering the complaints against her   it ’ s about time for her to leave the bench  ” said Alan Flacks   a longtime local resident pushing for judicial reform . Avery   52   of East 84th Street   landed her $ 175   000 - a - year job in 2012 thanks to a political appointment by then - Chief Judge Gail Prudenti . But she started demonstrating poor judgment almost immediately from the bench   according to the 14 - member Advisory Council for the Housing Part of the Civil Court of New York City . In 2013   Avery reprimanded a lawyer with cerebral palsy for his sloppy handwriting   the panel said in its four - page finding   which called the judge “ unfeeling .’’ The incident resulted in a letter of caution being placed in Avery ’ s file   according to a court source . The council — comprised of representatives from both the real - estate industry and tenants ’ organizations appointed by the mayor and governor — also criticized Avery for “ excessive multi - week adjournments ” for cases involving lack of heat and hot water   said the letter   a copy of which was read to The Post . The advisory council said in its decision last month that the New York Law School grad showed a general “ lack of concern ” for the litigants before her . The council added it was “ disturbed further ” by conflicts of interests involving the Housing Court judge ’ s family real - estate holdings . A court source said  Avery  failed to disclose that a law firm administering a family trust also regularly represents landlords in cases before the judge . Meanwhile   the jurist garnered a “ not approved ” rating by the city Bar Association — twice . Voters also refused to back her two bids to move up to civil court . In the summer of 2016    a judge who was running against Avery for a civil - court position  lodged a complaint over her campaign tactics . Justice Sabrina Kraus   who was appointed to the bench in 2005   accused Avery ’ s boyfriend of making derogatory comments about her Iranian heritage on Facebook .  Avery  failed to disavow the remarks   showing ethnic bias   the advisory panel added . Kraus beat  Avery  to win the seat .  Avery  ran for civil court again this year but lost in the September primary .  Avery  did not respond to multiple requests for comment . The former chief judge who appointed her   Prudenti   said she had no memory of choosing her .

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Philip Lowe ? Tapas Strickland  economist at the National Australia Bank  put the weakness in the Aussie down to a push-back from  RBA governor Philip Lowe  towards mounting rate hike expectations and another massive decline in iron ore markets.
âAround 0.5% of the fall occurred directly after Governor Loweâs speech â Strickland said  referring to a speech delivered by  Lowe  in Perth earlier in the session. âThe market interpreted the speech as dovish given comments that a rate rise was not imminent.â
In a Q&A session held after the conclusion of his speech   Lowe  said that official interest rates would increase for âsome timeâ.
Along with  Lowe âs speech  the Aussie was also hammered by another steep fall in iron ore markets.
