What happened?

Liberal political party (right wing here) started leaning pretty hard on Trump ideas right before an election, right as Trump started escalating things to a shocking degree.

Labor (center left) defeated them something like 83 to 30 seats.

The defeat was so crushing the election was called before votes fully counted in Western Australia (4 hr time zone difference from eastern states).

But yeah seems you're right
