Donald Trump's triumphant return to the Oval Office will be a clear message for Australia's major parties and certainly influence their plans to win votes at the next election.
As the United States map flashed red and the blue wall fell in this week's elections, the realisation began to dawn on Canberra that economic issues were at the heart of this decisive vote of confidence in Donald Trump. Among American voters, gender, race, socioeconomic background and political leanings appear to have paled in comparison to a widespread desire to punish governments that don't promise an adequate response to those struggling to make ends meet.
Even though Australia doesn't have a land border or the kind of illegal migration the USA is contending with, immigration is still a highly effective campaign point for the Coalition. Labor's decision to allow such a large influx of migrants after the COVID-19 pandemic has only served to feed into negative community sentiment.
