Australians are preparing to vote in parliamentary elections that will determine if Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor government will secure a second term. The conservative coalition led by Peter Dutton is trailing in the polls despite early strong performance. Concerns over U.S. policies under President Trump are influencing Australian voters, with parallels drawn to Canada’s recent political climate. Labor's strategy to delay the election has been seen as a move to allow the impacts of Trump's administration to resonate with voters, while Dutton's association with Trump is creating challenges.
Labor's gamble of holding a later election to allow some of Trump's policies to start to impact has paid off, reflecting voters' concerns around his administration.
Australia's opposition leader Dutton has courted favorable comparisons to Trump but is reeling from the damaging 'Temu Trump' label tied to cheap Chinese goods.
