Australia’s Labor Party to Retain Power

“Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese looks set to secure a second term in office, media networks project, with voters choosing stability over change against a backdrop of global turmoil inflicted by a returning President Donald Trump,” CNN reports.

BBC: “It’s quite a remarkable turnaround from the start of the year, when polling put Albanese’s popularity at record lows after three years of global economic pain, tense national debate, and growing government dissatisfaction.”

More from the BBC: “At this point of the evening, it’s hard to imagine a more emphatic rejection of Peter Dutton’s Liberal-National coalition than has played out. He has lost the election, with massive swings away from his party right around the country. And he has lost his own seat.”

Wall Street Journal: The Trump factor boosts another world leader in a close election.
