Albanese's Labor Party rode a voter backlash against the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump to a come-from-behind victory that expanded his parliamentary majority, echoing the reelection win a week ago by Canada's ruling party.

By Kirsty Needham and Alasdair Pal SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's centre-left Labor Party was projected to win over the conservative opposition, Sky News Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said as early vote counting showed Labor in a strong position.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton says he accepts 'full responsibility' for the Coalition loss, as Australian PM Anthony Albanese hails the result as a vote 'for Australian values'.
