Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is likely to work more closely with centre-left governments in Britain and Canada, as well as other democratic allies, after a resounding election win strengthened his hand in dealing with the U.

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'.

Anthony Albanese will lead a majority Labor government in a second term after securing a convincing majority in the federal election.
