Australian politicians weigh U.S. election lessons as Dutton eyes Trump's strategies

As the U.S. election concludes, Australian politicians are considering its implications. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton may look to adopt some of Donald Trump's strategies, particularly his "war on woke," as he prepares for the upcoming election. However, experts suggest that Dutton cannot simply replicate Trump's approach in Australia. The political landscape is different, and compulsory voting may keep Australian politics more centrist, limiting the effectiveness of extreme strategies. Dutton is focusing on issues like the cost of living and migration, which resonate with voters. The recent U.S. election results may encourage him, as they highlight the importance of addressing major concerns that impact everyday Australians.
