Australia's Anthony Albanese Elected For Second Term

الوصف:

Anthony Albanese has become the first Australian prime minister in almost 20 years to win back-to-back elections, after a stunning reversal in his political fortunes and a little help from President Trump. The national broadcaster the ABC called the election result at 8.26pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time), less than two-and-a-half hours after polls closed on the eastern seaboard. It is not yet known whether the ruling Labor party, which holds 77 seats, will win the 76 required to hang on to its majority. However, based on a swing towards the party in early counting, the government looks set to increase its majority.
