Sydney: Millions of Australians voted Saturday in a bitterly contested general election, following a campaign shaped by living costs, climate anxiety and US President Donald Trump's tariffs.
From dusty desert towns to sun-splashed harbour cities, voters are choosing between left-leaning incumbent Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and conservative challenger Peter Dutton.
The almost universal consensus across a slew of opinion polls leading up to election day was that Albanese's governing Labor Party would win a second term.
"The holy grail is back-to-back wins that we're aiming for today," Albanese told Channel Seven.
"I'll leave nothing on the field over the next three years if I'm re-elected as Australia's prime minister."
