On May 3, 2025, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party was projected to win Australia’s federal election, according to ABC and Sky News. The campaign centered on rising living costs, housing, and healthcare. Labor's stance on domestic relief resonated with voters, while opposition leader Peter Dutton's alignment with U.S. President Trump and stricter immigration proposals drew criticism. Global concerns, especially Trump’s trade impact on Australian exports, also influenced voter sentiment. While Labor is set to form the government, the final parliamentary makeup depends on preferences and performances by independents and minor parties under Australia’s ranked-choice system.
