Anthony Albanese has defied the "incumbency curse", the BBC says. PAustralian voters have delivered Anthony Albanese "a win for the ages" that should see Labor with more seats than at any point in its history, the ABC says. More even than Kevin Rudd or Bob Hawke after their most famous victories.
Albanese outperformed the polls and the pundits' expectations on a historic night that will leave the Coalition interrogating where it all went so very wrong, with Peter Dutton "fired into the sun" and many other senior figures and potential future leaders wiped out.
The Labor landslide has also overshadowed the ongoing rise and rise of independents in Australian politics, the ABC report said.

Albanese has delivered a personal pledge to Australians to repay their trust after gaining an extraordinary victory at the federal election, as Labor stunned its opponents by increasing its majority in parliament and driving Dutton to defeat in his home seat, the Sydney Morning Herald said.
