May 6, 2025--Written by Paul Wiseman for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Closely reflecting what happened on April 28 in Canada, Australia's center-left Labor Party won a clear victory in Saturday's general election. Current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's party had struggled in opinion polls earlier in 2025 and was expected to lose some seats. Instead, voters strengthened Labor's position over the center-right Liberal party on Saturday, and voted opposition leader Peter Dutton out of his seat in the process--exactly what happened in Canada earlier in the week. The mining sector is significant in Australia. In 2024, it contributed a gross value added (GVA) of more than AU$349 billion (US$225.79 billion) to the nation's economy--about 14.3% of its gross domestic product (GDP), according to Statista.
