SYDNEY, May 3 (Reuters) - Australia’s Anthony Albanese claimed a historic second term as prime minister on Saturday in a dramatic comeback against once-resurgent conservatives that was powered by voters' concerns about the influence of U.S. President Donald Trump, opens new tab.

Peter Dutton, leader of the conservative Liberal party, conceded defeat and the loss of his own seat - echoing the fate of Canada's conservatives and their leader whose election losses days earlier were also attributed to a Trump backlash.

Albanese is the first Australian prime minister to win consecutive terms in two decades. He said Australians had voted for fairness and "the strength to show courage in adversity and kindness to those in need".

Dutton - whose Liberals had been leading in opinion polls as recently as February until he became dogged with comparisons to Trump - said he had phoned Albanese to congratulate him.

Cost-of-living pressures and concerns about Trump's volatile trade and other policies had been among the top issues on voters' minds, opinion polls showed.
