Labor and the Coalition are already looking for lessons from Donald Trump's win for the upcoming Australian election.
Anthony Albanese says Australia and America are "true friends". Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton have congratulated Donald Trump on his historic election win, insisting the US-Australian relationship will continue to prosper.
While acknowledging outgoing President Joe Biden as a "friend", Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia would strive to strengthen cooperation with the US in the Indo-Pacific."Our government will work closely with the new Trump administration to realise the benefits of our strong economic partnership," he said."Our nations are bound by a history of shared sacrifice, a commitment to common values and — above all — enduring respect and affection between our peoples.
The positive rhetoric belied some of the shock Mr Trump's election caused for much of the Labor caucus. As Mr Trump's numbers improved, the opposition side of the chamber sounded increasingly boisterous while on the Labor benches the mood was sombre.One Labor source told the ABC there were stark lessons for Labor from Mr Trump's success, which saw the Republicans draw strong support from blue collar male voters, as well as Americans who voted on "hip pocket" issues.
One senior source said the result could also jeopardise Australia's $368 million deal with the US to acquire nuclear submarines if Mr Trump decides instead that the boats should be retained by the US Navy.
