Supporters applauded when the 62 -year -old premiere visited Café Italy in Sydney, surrounded by photographers and television cameras. The Albanese Labor Party is on its way to a comfortable majority in Parliament, while its rival, conservative Peter Dutton, ahead of a parties coalition, lost his chair.

Albanese, Prime Minister since the surprising victory in the 2022 elections, promised to develop renewable energy, combat the housing crisis and increase health system financing. “Thanks to the people of Australia for the opportunity to continue serving the best country in the world. In this time of global uncertainty, Australians chose optimism and determination,” he told the crowd at a campaign party in Sidney.
His rival, Peter Dutton, a former 54-year-old narcotics brigade police officer, campaigned to reduce immigration, fight crime and suspend the ban on developing civil nuclear energy. Dutton said he called Albanese “to congratulate him on his success.” “We did not do well enough in this campaign, this is obvious tonight, and I accept all the responsibility” for the defeat, he said.
