If he becomes prime minister at general elections on Saturday, it will be the first time since 1931 — amid the economic turmoil of the Great Depression — that an Australian government has been ousted after a single three-year term.A major factor in his success or failure is likely to be his pledge to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 with nuclear power instead of the government’s reliance on renewable energy sources.

His Liberal Party was been remarkably united behind him since he became their leader after their government was defeated at elections in 2022.During his party’s three years out of power,has evolved into a less confrontational and more responsive political leader, said Monash University political expert Zareh Ghazarian.

“He presented himself as a tough leader. But the more he’s spent time in opposition, the more he has built his leadership repertoire,” Ghazarian said.Dutton has signaled that his international priorities would differ from those of recent prime ministers if his party wins elections.

Australian prime ministers are expected to make their first overseas trips to Asia, usually heading to Indonesia to underscore the importance of that bilateral relationship with a near neighbor; Dutton has said he plans to go first to the United States to meet President Donald Trump and secure preferential trade terms.

“I do believe that if there’s a change of government, I will be able to work with the Trump administration mark 2 to get better outcomes for Australians,” Dutton told the Lowy Institute international policy think tank in Sydney in March.People walk through the town near the coltan mining quarry in Rubaya, Democratic Republic of Congo, May 9, 2025.
