In another #Trump caused election defeat, Australia's electors just said a big NO to their conservative party, re-electing Prime Minister Albanese along with his Labour party in a landslide victory. The "Trump effect" played out in #Australia just like it did in #Canada.
Conservative leader Peter Dutton was also defeated in his own riding, just as Pierre Pollievre was defeated in his riding here in Canada - new verb for you: "being Pollievred"!

The fact Trump is the reason conservatives are losing in their elections shows how unpopular he is. #australia

#Australia re-elects Anthony #Albanese as #Labor rides #antiTrump wave to seal crushing win
Australia’s centre-left PM, Anthony Albanese, has won a 2nd term with a crushing victory over the opposition, whose rightwing leader, #PeterDutton, failed to brush off comparisons with Donald Trump & ended up losing his own seat.

Canada and now Australia have rejected fascism. Conservative parties around the world stopped being conservative about 10 years ago. They are working as a co-operative through the IDU (International Democracy Union) and moved from fiscal conservatives to hate-filled social conservative extremism. An evangelical version of Al Qaeda.
#Australia understood the assignment. Good on ya.
Proud to be Canadian and Australian! Let's keep defending our values! Let's not succumb to the lure of corrosive, divisive US-style culture wars. Love my Canucks, love my Strayans. #australia #canada
The Trump effect of dooming right-wing politicians around the world and causing their party leaders to lose their seats in Parliament continues.
First in Canada and now in Australia where the Australian Labor Party has won a landslide re-election over the conservative coalition. #Australia

Replicating in #Australia exactly what just happened in #Canada. Ironic: the rise of that right wing lunatic may save progressive governments all over.

#Australia (AP) — “Anthony Albanese claimed victory as the first Australian prime minister to clinch a second consecutive three-year term in 21 years on Saturday and suggested his government had increased its majority in the next Parliament by not modeling itself on #Trump administration

Yet another "Conservative" loss as Nations around the world cast off the #Trump loving #Stigma.
"Australia’s #AnthonyAlbanese claimed a historic second term as prime minister on Saturday in a dramatic comeback against once-resurgent conservatives that was powered by voters' concerns about the influence of U.S. President Donald Trump."

Okay, just my take from a quick read through my Masto feed, but it sounds like #Australia has built upon the glee of the Canadian experience and trounced their Conservative party in their federal election.
Seems they've also poilievred their Con leader in his own riding.
YES!!!
Way to sock it to 'em!

Whoa.. looks like #Australia went the same way as #Canada at sent the conservative campaign face home. Nice. That how decisive it should be.
No Temu-Trump for Australia, congratulations, well done! The Greens maybe back to 1 seat, there's still room for improvement. Still, I'm happy Australians voted to remain on the light side of democracy... this is the way! #australia #elections https://tallyroom.aec.gov.au/HouseDefault-31496.htm
