Morrison’s Liberal-National coalition was two seats short of a parliamentary majority after about 60 percent of the vote had been counted, according to election officials. Supporters of the Labor Party watch the live election results in Perth, Australia, on May 18, 2019. The expected Labor Party victory was seen as move toward greater attention on battling climate change, expanding social programs and ending political instability that had led to six prime ministers in eight years.
In the end, Morrison’s regular-guy political persona — he was the first Australian prime minister to campaign in baseball caps — and promises to cut taxes proved unexpectedly effective. Shorten’s promises of a wider social safety net, support for renewable energy and government stability — after six prime ministers in eight years — have resonated strongly across the country.
Word on the street is that Meuller will head over and investigate Australia’s PM for 2 years. He has done nothing wrong, but that doesn’t mean anything does it
The polls only show a lead to the left, they were wrong in the US and again they where wrong in Australia. polls are no longer relevant. Fake News use them to “try” to sell news
Russian hackers?
Wasn't a complete shock... the Coalition has got the country on track to building strong economic growth and community infrastructure. They also had the many preferences of the United Australia Party who've highlighted our past leaders corrupt selling off of various major assets!
In other news,Hillary Clinton is still wandering in the woods.
The polls are wrong once again.. It seems like people who take polls are mostly from the same party. In 2016 Democrats were taking polls and Republicans were not and the polls were wildly inaccurate. If you do a poll you are asking the Left their opinion.
Kind of like how you said Trump had no chance of winning the election in 2016.
Democracy dies when people believe the biased polls of the Democrat Party (in US) media. They are created to drive a narrative and emotion not to portray a true picture of people’s beliefs. Time they be banned within six months of an election.
Well done Australia.
Bwahahahaha. Oh man this is awesome. It’s like normal people are rejecting progressives. Backlash in 2020 will be brutal for the left. MAGATRUMP2020
Must be Russia
At least center right is not extreme right as in America.
Check for Russian interference!!
Australia didn't need socialism.
Pentacostalists rule, amen.
The opposition should have hired AOC
It's like a cancer eating its way throughout the free world. This can't end well if we don't stop it. If their election was hacked, I hope they do better fixing it than we did.
It’s a function of the left’s PC world. Nobody wants to admit they agree with conservative ideas and values for fear of being attacked by the pure vitriol of liberals, so they keep their mouths shut, and speak at the polls.
Shock to American Liberal Media! I am sure there is real Journalist out there that knew! But they are reporting not trying to be King Makers!
Australians do not believe Climate Change bull shit.
MAKING AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN! MAGA 🇦🇺
charlesadler Im guessing that one party had more votes than the other?
Maybe Putin's hand is in there somewhere. Noticed he makes no comments on Trump.
Is that who Russia wanted to win?
Dear USA - we're selling the state of Queensland. Beautiful one day, cyclonic the next. We will even throw in all QLD MPs (state and Federal), Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson and ex sebator Fraser Anning. All of this is yours for a hold coin donation (AUD $1 or $2). auspol
Reminds of media predictions of a Hillary landslide
The entire world is poised to be in the exact same position it was pre-WWII. Any bets on which country will seek to destroy all others?
Democrats REALLY need to take a look at what’s just happened in Australia. The number of similarities are incredible and tomorrow millions of left supporters will be asking how on earth this happened despite everything the government has done and not done. Sound familiar?!
The leftists in the Media wrong again. Just like America.

And a realDonaldTrump Trump2020Landslide incoming!!!! 🇺🇸MAGA
This is far too similar to the 2016 U.S. election. Only to find out about what the Russians did. I smell something 'rotten in Denmark'.
We seem to have a lot of 'complete shock' elections around the world. And gov't have done little to protect their democratic institutions; especially if the results favor their extremes and/or outside agitators' choices. Strange, huh?
Awesome! Soon, Conservative AndrewScheer will B Prime minister Alberta is Conservative again, Trump will win 2020 Britain will be independent again Italy will follow, possibly France too Its a good time for the world, common sense will reign over political correctness
The people are rising up all the world what’s so shocking about that?
Another rigged election.
MLendich what is going on down there? is it shady?
YO CANT WAIT TO BE DRAGGED INTO WAR WITH IRAN Y'ALL CYA THERE K 👍👍👍
let that be a warning for Trudeau
RUSSIA STOLE THE ELECTION FROM THE LEFT IN AUSTRALIA! I demand we invade Australia, take over and impeach everyone who isn’t a Bernie Sanders Communist!
...about time the media realises that polls are useless and you have no idea what the people want.
The Radical Leftist Fake News Media in Australia got it wrong just like the Radical Leftist Fake News Media gets it wrong here all the time. When journalism loses it’s political agenda, it may become useful again.
It isn't that big of a shock. The polling had been showing the coalition gaining support.
Don’t get any ideas US ! (And polls are what people should have done ... not what they did)
tragically they didn’t listen , all young will have huge problems in future. drought is and will come back to Australia and they will be so sorry for not listening timo climate change fast ..
Voters POUNCE! Prime Minister struggles to keep up!
I sure hope Democrats don't put all their eggs in a 'climate basket'... we will lose horribly. It's a concern, but it's no where near a top concern. Tax the rich, focus on healthcare/education/living wage, let re-tooling infrastructure for green energy become a job creator.
Corruption! Recount.
This news articles conflates “US conservatives” with the Australian center-right coalition. The inaccuracy jumped out.
yeh! Australia is still our friend and has its own momentum against the globalists. an indicator of Election2020 ?
Did he also work with Russia?
Warning to U.S. voters. Polls lie. People tell pollsters what they think will make them look good; inside the voting booth they are far more conservative.
God help us and the planet we live on
Are they sure the election was secure? Seems like it is the result that Russia would want
Russians strike again eh?🤦♂️🤔🙄🇦🇺❤️🇷🇺
🤣🤣
It’s always a shock to u when a Conservative party wins.
