Australians participated in a national election, with the Labor party led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appearing to secure victory based on early polling. Voting is mandatory, and many citizens expressed concern over skyrocketing living costs, housing shortages, and Trump's trade policies impacting Australia. Albanese aims to break a two-decade trend by winning consecutive elections and has promised tax cuts, affordable healthcare, and housing initiatives. As counting continues, Labor's focus on these pressing issues resonates with voters amid significant economic challenges.
"Labor will form government in the next parliament. It's a big swing that's on at the moment. I can't see how it turns around," ABC election analyst Antony Green.
Surveys show that high prices are the top voter concern, with Australians enduring one of the sharpest rises in the cost of living in recent years.
