Thanks Trump for hurting Conservatives in two countries in a row now.

America's stupidity is becoming the best thing for centre/centre-left governments.

Absolutely... When you have the most powerful nation on Earth elect a conservative leader who in turn has gone on to screw over their closes allies who have assisted the USA in terms of resources, military, information, trade and more for over a century...

The world starts to feel betrayed and then we see these pivots to progressive ideas.

Also helps that our conservative leader (Dutton) was basically a "Temu Trump" who looks like Lord Voldermort. - Who then had to change their approach when Trump's popularity took a nosedive.

For those who wish to see the counting progress and results: https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/federal-election-2025

Trump is becoming a toxic association, we are seeing it in Europe too, even far-right parties in Europe are trying to distance themselves from Trump/America and even throw the odd criticism towards Trump/America. It's not just the betrayal but we're literally witnessing America shoot itself in the face in real time, watching them as they destroy their country and reveal to us all that their populism was all talk. And yeah as you said, when Trump's popularity took a nosedive, all the politicians who fashioned themselves after him like Dutton and Pierre suddenly switched how they presented themselves, Lol.
