On May 3, 2025, Anthony Albanese made history by becoming the first Australian prime minister to win a second consecutive term in 21 years, asserting that his government’s approach differed from that of U.S. President Donald Trump. In his victory speech, Albanese emphasized the importance of Australian values in addressing global challenges, while his opponent, Peter Dutton, conceded defeat, losing his parliamentary seat. Despite expectations for a seat loss in the second election, Albanese’s Labor Party is set to increase its majority in the House of Representatives.
