Just put my vote in; there wasn't even a line, I was in and out in 2 minutes.

Polling seems to suggest that much like in Canada, Trump's disastrous first few months in office have turned a lot of voters here against right wing parties/politicians, with the Liberal party having led polls months ago, only to now be trailing behind Labor in almost every poll.

  • Conservative Party Leading in Polls in Canada and Australia.
  • Trump Gets Elected, World Witnessing Months of Chaos in America.
  • Polls Completely Reverse in Canada and Australia.
  • Centre-Left Parties Win.
  • Leaders of Both Conservative Parties Lose Their Seats (Dutton and Pierre).

It's like the exact same, Lmao. Of course I can't blame this all on Trump, there were multiple reasons for their collapse but Trump definitely played a part and it's funny to troll that Trump is the reason for Conservatives losing It's probably a mixture of Trump's fault, witnessing America shoot itself in the foot, the Conservatives own incompetence and their leaders being deeply unlikeable and the opposition parties having a better message that resonated with voters unlike Democrats in USA.

Yeah the horror stories coming out of America and the fear that "that could happen here" were absolutely a factor, most Aussies don't view Trump favourably.

It's not the only factor; Dutton himself is not well liked and has been unpopular on a national level for years now, IMO it was a mistake for the Liberals to even try to run him as a candidate for PM, I'm sure they could have found someone, anyone, more charismatic.
