A historic second term won the bet was secured by Australian Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi.

Albanesi won the parliamentary elections in a campaign focused on purchasing power and the environment, with the shadow of Donald Trump present in the election.

“Thanks to the Australian people for giving me the opportunity to continue serving the best nation in the world“, The prime minister told supporters who gathered in Sydney, who cheered and shouted the album’s nickname as the results were announced. Albanesi said his party would form a majority government.

Thunderbolt is the loss of the leader of the Conservative Opposition leader, the liberal party, Peter Datton of a labor candidate, according to the ABC.

Thus following the fate of the Conservatives of Canada and their leader, whose electoral defeats were also attributed to Trump’s reaction.

“We did not do well enough in this election campaign – this is obvious tonight and I fully take responsibility for that“, He told his supporters. He acknowledged his party’s defeat and announced that he had contacted Albanesi to congratulate him.

The workers preceded In 76 of the 150 constituencies, according to the official provision of the Australian Election Committee, the number required to secure the majority in the Lower House. Second power, the coalition led by Datton, is only ahead of 29 constituencies.

The Australians were invited to highlight the 150 members of the next Lower House and 40 of the 76th seats of the Senate.

‘MToday, the Australian people voted for Australian values. For justice (…) and for opportunities open to everyone“, Albanese said in his winning speech. “In these times of global uncertainty, Australians chose optimism and determination“, He said.

The Australian Electoral Committee’s website predicted that the workers would win 80 out of 150 seats in the House of Representatives, increasing the majority, with 90% of the electoral departments.

The ABC predicted 85 seats for the Labor, 41 for the Liberal and the National Coalition, nine for the independent and another 15 very close to the election.

Prime Minister after his marginal victory in the 2022 parliamentary elections, 62 -year -old Albanesi has promised to develop renewable energy sources, tackle the housing crisis and increase funding in the health system.

Economically, climate

Congratulations of leaders began to arrive.

The British Prime Minister Kir Starmer, A member of the Labor Party, such as Albanesi, welcomed the victory of his counterpart, praising the “closest” links between the two countries.

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski In his congratulations, he talked about “Australia’s steadfast support”. “We look forward to further strengthening our productive cooperation (…),” he added.

In February, Kamerra announced that it had allocated more than $ 1.5 billion (over $ 960 million) to help Ukraine’s defense.

The Indian prime minister Narendra Monti He told Albanese in a message on X: “This emphatic mandate shows the constant faith of the Australian people in your leadership.”

From Washington, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also congratulated Albanesi on his victory and called for the “deepening” of ties with Australia.

The economy was one of the main concerns of voters, as many households find it difficult to get over them because of the increase in milk, bread, electricity and gasoline.

Voters in Australia, a carbon giant, also had to choose between two leaders with opposing views of fighting climate change.

The labor government has promised to make Australia a superpower of renewable energy, although it has granted licenses for new mining projects and subsidies to polluting industries.

Pressures on the cost of living and concerns about Trump’s unstable commercial and other policies were one of the top issues that concerned voters, according to polls.

In the polls, Albanesi had a small lead over Datton, a 54 -year -old former drug -law police officer. The latter focused his campaign on reducing immigration, fighting crime, overthrowing the ban on nuclear energy for political purposes in the country, and even cutting thousands of jobs in the public sector.

“The Trump Factor”

However, Donald Trump’s shadow was increasingly intense in the election campaign.

Both Australia’s two major parties focused on the pressure of living costs, but polls show that the global uncertainty stemming from Trump’s duties quickly turned into a major issue for voters during the election campaign.

The election campaign was marked by its first days by the “trade attack” launched by US president Donald Trump in Australia. Many of its products were imposed 10%import duties. Some polls suggest that support for the conservatives weakened because of Trump’s policy, which Donton described as “great intellect” at the beginning of the year.

The Labor Party has tried to present Datton as a conservative close to Trump’s positions, hoping that they would deprive the leader of the opposition liberal party.

Datton, for his part, tried to distance himself from comparisons to the zeal of Ilon Musk, Trump’s adviser, to reduce the spending of the federal state, but saw his percentages in the polls fall in relation to the labor duties imposed by Trump on Australia. The leader of the liberal party had the lead in the polls until still in February.

“We do not need to beg, borrow or copy anything elsewhere. We do not seek inspiration from abroad, “Albanesi said.

Analysts believe between the US duties and the conservative platform, which is similar to that of the US president, the “Trump effect” phenomenon can partially explain the victory of the Labor Party.

Unlike Canada, where the elections were dominated by US President’s threats, Trump was not the main concern of Anthony Albanese voters, according to analysts.

However, some believe that the policies of the US president may have played an important role in the Labor Party’s favorable tendency in polls in recent months and in Saturday’s unquestionable victory.

Peter Datton’s proposals, leader of the conservative opposition, could be regarded as a “lighter” version of Trump’s program – mainly by abolishing civil servants for the benefit of the government’s effectiveness – believes Henry Macher, Professor of Politics.

Australians’ confidence in their main ally, the United States, seems to have disappeared since Donald Trump took over.

Only 36% of Australians trust the US, 20 points less than in 2024, according to a survey by the Lowy Institute.

Liberal Party spokesman, Senator James Patterson, defended the conservative election campaign, saying it was negatively influenced by the “Trump factor”.
