The Anthony Albanese in Australia won a second term as a Prime Minister on a dramatic return against the former resurgent conservatives on Saturday who was fed by the concerns of voters concerning the influence of US President Donald Trump.
The website of the Australian electoral commission projected from work would win 81 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives, increasing its majority in Parliament, with 68% of the votes counted.
Peter Dutton, head of the Conservative Liberal Party, conceded the defeat and the loss of his own siege – echoing the fate of the Conservative Party of Canada and his leader, Pierre Hairy, whose electoral losses a few days earlier were also attributed to a Trump reaction.
The supporters of the celebration of the plowing elections in Sydney applauded themselves and struggled while Albanian claimed victory and said that his party would form a majority government. “Our government will choose the Australian way, because we are proud of who we are and everything we have built together in this country,” he told supporters.
“We do not need to begging, borrowing or copying apart elsewhere. We are not looking for our inspiration abroad. We find it here in our values and in our employees.”
Albanese would be the first Australian Prime Minister to win a consecutive mandate in two decades. He said that the Australians had voted for equity and “the strength to show courage in adversity and kindness towards those who needed it”.
The recently elected Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, congratulated the Albanians on social networks, saying that “in an increasingly divided world”, Canada and Australia are close and “most reliable” partners.
“We have the opportunity to rely on this relationship and our shared values for the benefit of our two nations, and I look forward to it,” said Carney’s Social Media Post.
Dutton – which the Liberals had directed opinion polls as recently as February until he was enthusiastic about comparisons with Trump – said that he had phoned Albanese to congratulate him.
“We did not do well enough during this campaign. This is obvious this evening, and I accept full responsibility for this,” said Dutton in a television speech.
The former police officer who has a reputation for hardening for crime and immigration said that he spoke to the plowing candidate in the Dickson siege that he had detained for two decades and congratulated him for his success.
“We were defined by our opponents during this election, which is not the true story of who we are,” said Dutton, promising that the party rebuilds.
Trump comparisons
Pressures and concerns of the cost of living concerning the volatile policies of Trump had been among the main questions in the minds of voters, according to opinion polls.
“If you slope enough mud, it will stick,” said the Liberal Senator of the Northern territory, Jacinta Price, whose comments that his party “would make Australia again” had further fueled comparisons with the slogan “Make America Great Again” of Trump.
“You did everything on Trump,” she said on ABC. Dutton said he would name the price of a government ministry, one of Trump’s many echoes of policies.
“Losing Peter Dutton is a huge loss,” she said.
The spokesman for the Liberal Opposition Party, James Paterson, defended the conservative campaign, who, according to him, was negatively affected by the “Trump factor”.
“It was devastating in Canada for the Conservatives … I think it was a factor here, how a factor will be determined in a few hours,” he told ABC earlier.
Earlier, when the counting began, the work treasurer Jim Chalmers said that the government had been “in all kinds of problems” at the end of 2024, but that he had returned to the competition due to the high performance of the Albanian campaign, policies that responded to concerns about the cost of living and Trump effect.
While the results were starting to emerge, he told ABC that the planned victory was “a victory for the ages”. Albanese “has won one of the major political victories since the Federation,” he said.
The results were “absolutely incredible,” said work supporter, Melinda Adderley, 54, through her tears during the electoral part.
