NAS-Lecture-Series: The 2024 U.S. Election Seen from Down Under
Lecture Series of the North American Studies Program: "The White House Embattled: The U.S. Election 2024"
Prof. David Smith, United States Studies Centre, University of Sydney: "The 2024 U.S. Election Seen from Down Under: What's at Stake for Australia?"
Most prominently at stake for Australia in the 2024 US election is the direction of Australian conservative politics. Trump engages an idiom and sym-bolism that is internationally shared and unites various right-wing agendas, particularly in Australia, where the English language and Murdoch-owned media outlets make Trump a focal point for the Australian right. His victory, Dr. Smith argues in his lecture, would embolden a populist, far-right ascendancy on the conservative side of Australian politics at the expense of more moderate and liberal tendencies within the conservative coalition. A defeat of Trump is likely to have the opposite effect.
