Albanese wins landslide, Labor secures majority as Dutton loses seat

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has led the Labor Party to a decisive victory in the 2025 federal election, returning with a majority government and becoming the first national leader to be re-elected since John Howard.

Albanese thanked Australians for their support, pledging a renewed focus on unity, fairness, healthcare, workers’ rights, and reconciliation with First Nations people. He vowed to continue serving with humility and announced that he would resume work immediately.

The result was a devastating blow to the Coalition, with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton losing his long-held seat of Dickson to Labor’s Ali France in a dramatic double-digit swing.

The Liberal Party has failed to gain a single seat, prompting a looming leadership contest.

Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor and Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie are seen as the likely contenders to replace Dutton.

    • Elections are faker than WWE, bro.

      Never seen or heard even a single tweet or YouTube clip from an Albanese voter, they don’t exist.

      Dutton is likely owned and controlled by all the same people anyway. Same in the UK, Canada and NZ. It doesn’t matter if it’s team red or team blue “in charge”, the blob’s agenda continues to roll on.

  1. The writing was on the wall a long time ago. Dutton was unelectable, as attractive to the electorate as a 200% income tax hike. The coalition were idiots for picking him as the leader.

  2. All this demonstrates is how broken Australia is. Suffice to say, its going to have to get a lot worse, before it gets better.

  3. They’ll regret it for decades.
    Ludicrous energy policy (much the same here)
    designed to destroy their economy.
    Short sighted fools

  4. These same people invoked what was nothing less than Martial Law during Covid.
    And…like in NZ,…they’re still ‘in office’…and not criminally charged for ‘Crimes Against Humanity’.
    BTW- has anyone heard from the Aussie Cossack lately???

  5. There is some fu*ckery going on here… The same voter base who put down ‘The Voice’ overwhelmingly voted to keep the same stooge in. Bull sh*t.

    • According to NZ media, Covid was a deadly pandemic and Jacinda Ardern saved our country from inflation.

      I would change the channel if I was you.
