An unexpected wide victory and re -election was achieved by Anthony Albanesi’s workers. Main to Trump: “Australia responds to the world challenges in the Australian way.”

Response from Sydney

“The Australians sent a clear message: they want progress, stability and responsibility,” re -elected Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi said late Saturday night in a unifying winning speech. “We are committed to continuing to serve all citizens of this country with humility and determination,” he said.

He added in an indirect message to Donald Trump: “Australians chose to face the world challenges in the Australian way: taking care of each other and building the future. We do not need to beg, borrow or copy anywhere else. We do not seek our inspiration abroad. We find it here, in our values ​​and our people. “

The workers have expanded their parliamentary autonomy and will be able to implement their program undisturbed to their new three -year term. The count continues but the estimates are that the 150 seats will have somewhere between 85 and 90 seats.

This result, coupled with the sinking of the conservatives, urges some analysts to predict that the government line will remain in power at least until … 2031.

Worried about precision, housing

It should be noted that Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi was praised for the discipline that he was specifically shown during the pre -election period and his dedication to the main messages to address the world’s concerns about precision, housing, energy policy and reduction in

On the other hand, the Conservative Campaign and their leader Peter Datton was characterized by inconsistencies, such as the dismissal of 41,000 civil servants and the abolition of part -time homework for public employees. The commitments were recalled during the pre -election period when, it was estimated, polls showed people to react, especially women/ mothers for the measure of labor. Also, the electorate seems to have been strongly opposed to Datton’s obsession with the construction of nuclear power stations in the country.

The ‘factor’ Trump

It should be noted that the triumph of labor is partly attributed to the impact of US duties and the general behavior of US President Donald Trump. Something similar had happened days ago in Canada.

Until January, most forecasts showed a marginal election, most likely the minority government scenario – either of the labor or conservatives. However, the rapid conversion of moods to the electorate in recent months has changed the political scene in recent months.

At the heart of this conversion was found an issue that was not purely Australian: Donald Trump’s trade duties brought about significant losses on the Australian stock market as well.

The retirement accounts of millions of Australians have been seriously affected, with average losses reaching thousands of dollars per household. This economic insecurity reinforced the image of labor as a force of stability and helped to deconstruct the conservative narrative.

Liberal leader Peter Datton attempted early in the year to adopt harsh rhetoric, almost aligned with Trump’s words and style.

However, when Trump expressed aggression against Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski and began to receive international criticism of the volatility of his positions, along with the impact of duties, Duton seemed to distance himself, but for many it was already late.

“Today is not the night we hoped,” he said in his speech on Saturday night, admitting his defeat. “I accept the verdict of the citizens with respect. Democracy spoke and we hear it, “he noted, accepting the result with dignity.

Independent reinforced

The final distribution of the seats will be finalized in the coming days with the completion of the counting of the votes. Independent (over 10) will have a strong presence in the new House.

The Greens, although just over 12% of the electorate, are doubtful whether they will hold the four seats they had before.

Elections were held yesterday for the Senate. There the result may even take weeks to be judged. But it is almost certain that the government will not have a majority and will have to negotiate each time to pass its bills.

In any case, the election result, according to analysts, confirms the liquidity of political capital in periods of international instability and shows that Australian voters have punished those who tried to embrace polarization and opportunism.

The outcome of the vote, in addition to the inner impact, sends a clear message abroad, the commentators say: Australia preferred pragmatism and rejects any far -right mutation.
