How big a role did Trump play in Australia’s remarkable federal election result? 

On this episode of After America, Dr Emma Shortis joins Angus Blackman to discuss whether Anthony Albanese’s massive election victory is part of a global “repudiation” of Trumpism and what new Australia Institute polling reveals about Australians’ views on Trump and the alliance. 

This discussion was recorded on Monday 5 May 2025 and things may have changed since recording.
