The Labour Party has been re-elected in the Australian parliamentary election.

The preliminary results showed that it won 77 of the 150 seats, while the opposition Liberals managed to get 34. Labour leader and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in his victory speech, “In this time of global uncertainty, Australians have chosen optimism and determination. Australians have chosen to face global challenges the Australian way looking after each other while building for the future.”

As in the Canadian election, the Australian Liberals, with their conservative credentials, hoped to make it back to power after they lost office in the 2022 election. They were in power for nine years. Liberal leader Peter Dutton had conceded defeat and congratulated Albanese.

He is also the first opposition leader to lose his own seat in the federal election. Liberal leader and Senator James Paterson referred to the ‘Trump factor’ in the Australian election. He said, “It was devastating in Canada for the conservatives...I think it has been a factor here, but how big a factor will be determined in a few hours’ time.”
