Malcolm Turnbull says Australians should not generalise “wildly” about the mood of voters after Donald Trump’s victory in the US election. Former prime minister Tony Abbott warned on Friday that Donald Trump’s victory should be a wake-up call for Australia, proving the country needs a strong centre-right leader. More and more people are feeling less and less represented by mainstream political parties,” he told Radio National. “Well, I think the independent vote at the last election, the sort of non-Labor, non-Liberal/National vote ... was not markedly different,” Turnbull told Radio 3AW’s Neil Mitchell. And that’s what I’m grappling with.”He said he wouldn’t be changing his leadership style in the aftermath of Trump’s victory.
