Albanese re-elected in anti-Trump bump

Albanese is the first prime minister for more than two decades to win back-to-back elections. Just five weeks ago, polls suggested he was facing defeat to the conservative opposition.

In a victory speech, Albanese, 62, said his country had "turned a corner" and his majority Labor government would proceed with "new hope, new confidence and new determination".

"Australians have chosen to face global challenges the Australian way," he said. "Looking after each other while building for the future."

Keir Starmer congratulated Albanese on X, saying: "The UK and Australia are close as ever. Which goes to show that long-distance friendships can be the strongest."

Opposition leader Peter Dutton, 54, a former police detective, lost his own seat of 24 years in Dickson in Queensland. He said he accepted "full responsibility" for the defeat of his Liberal-National Coalition.
