The 2025 Australian federal election was called last night, with Labor emerging as the clear winner. Anthony Albanese has won enough seats to form a majority government, making him Australia’s prime minister for the second time.
Labor Party candidate Ali France won the seat of Dickson, defeating Peter Dutton who had held the seat since 2001. Mr. Dutton, the former opposition leader, lost his seat but did not specify what he would do next in his concession speech.
The Labor Party has announced its plans to implement various policies, including [possible policies mentioned in original text]. The party’s victory marks a significant shift for Australian politics.
Sussan Ley, Mr. Dutton’s deputy, retained her seat and is now eligible to lead the Liberal Party. However, it remains to be seen whether she will accept the position or run again as an independent candidate.
The election result was announced nearly two hours after polls closed on the east coast, with Labor winning by a significant margin. The results are expected to continue coming in over the next few days.
