Voters in Australia and New Zealand resoundingly rejected leftist candidates and proposals in their nation’s respective elections this past weekend.

On Saturday, Aussies overwhelmingly voted down a constitutional amendment proposal that sought to create an “Indigenous Voice to Parliament.” As of this article’s publication, preliminary election results indicate nearly two-thirds (61 percent) of Aussies opposed the amendment, with the majority of every state voting “no” as well.

Meanwhile, New Zealanders resoundingly ousted their nation’s left-wing government on Saturday, leading to the formation of a center-right governing coalition. The election also paved the way for Christopher Luxon, head of the conservative National Party, to take over as prime minister. Under Luxon, this will be New Zealand’s “most right-wing government in a generation,” according to The New York Times.
