Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's re-election is cementing a belief US policy is influencing voters abroad. 

The Labor Party has secured a historic, and comfortable win over Peter Dutton's Liberal National Coalition - with Dutton himself ousted from his own Queensland seat. 

Over in Canada, Mark Carney secured the role of Prime Minister - with experts claiming anti-Trump sentiment helped propel his win.

Former Finance Minister Steven Joyce says the political right has learned the same lesson as the left about online 'echo chambers'.

"The broad middle of politics is much more pragmatic about what they want to see happen in the world, they're not so much interested in the culture wars - be they on the left or on the right."
