Donald Trump looms large over Saturday's election. As with Canada's election, wannabe Trump opposition Leader and Liberal Party Peter Dutton was trashed in a landslide, losing his parliamentary seat.

Labor has won the 2025 federal election, and Anthony Albanese secured a second term as prime minister.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton suffered a catastrophic result with the Liberal Party. Not only did they lose countless seats, but his seat of Dickson, has fallen. His coalition is on track to suffer the biggest election loss in decades.

CANADA: In a remarkable turnaround fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won the federal election. In his victory speech, Carney emphasized the importance of unity in response to threats from Washington. He stated that the mutually beneficial relationship between Canada and the U.S. that has existed since World War II has come to an end. "We have moved past the shock of American betrayal, but we must never forget the lessons," he said. Carney warned that America desires our land, resources, water, and control over our country, adding that these are not mere idle threats.

As of about 11 PM Saturday Sydney time, Albanese’s Labor Party is projected to win at least 87 seats in the nation’s House of Representatives—where the government is formed—defeating the conservative bloc of the Liberal and National parties, which was projected to win at least 40, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

The Liberal Party will need to choose a new leader after tonight.
