Sydney: Anthony Albanis of Australia claimed a historic second term as Prime Minister on Saturday, once in a dramatic withdrawal against conservators who were operated with voters concerns about the impact of US President Donald Trump.
Conservative Liberal Party leader Peter Datton accepted the defeat and the loss of his seat – echoing the fate of Canadian conservatives and their leader, whose election was held responsible for the Trump Bailsh even before the disadvantage.
In Sydney’s election party, supporters happy and hugged each other as Albanis claimed victory and said the labor would form a majority government.

Albani will be the first Australian Prime Minister to win a consecutive term over two decades.
The Australian Election Commission website published initial results, showing labor before the coalition of liberal and national parties, which was 55.94% -44% on two -sided favorite basis.
Datton said that he had called Albanis to congratulate him.

Trump comparison
Costs about the unstable policies of US President Donald Trump were one of the top issues on the minds of the voters, showing by referendum surveys.
“If you kill enough mud, it will stick,” Liberal Senator for the northern region said, Jesinta Price, whose comments said that his party said “will make Australia re -great”, compared to Trump’s own “Make America Great Again” slogan.
“You made it all about Trump,” he said ABCDatton had said that he would appoint values in the ministry of the government, one of the several echoes of Trump’s policies.
“Losing Peter Datton is a huge disadvantage,” he said.
Opposition Liberal Party spokesperson, Senator James Patterson defended the conservative campaign, which he said was negatively affected by the “Trump Factor”.
“It was disastrous for conservatives in Canada … I think it has been a factor here, how much big factor will be determined in a few hours time,” he said ABC,
Liberals were recently a pioneer in public opinion surveys as February as voters blamed the government for cost-live pressings and high housing costs.
As the counting was going on, Labor’s Chalmers said that the government was “in all kinds of trouble” at the end of 2024, but Albanis’s strong campaign came back to the competition due to performance, policies, with concerns about living costs and trump effects.
“The economy became a negative to positive – the interest rate cut was part of the story,” he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
In February, the Central Bank cut rates, on the eve of election, reverse the course after an increase in 13 interest rates, which increased the hostage repayment of the house for homes.
