"After taking over from Malcolm Turnbull in 2018, Mr Morrison led Australia through a period dominated by natural disasters and the pandemic.
He had been expected to narrowly lose the election, but the result showed a collapse in his vote.
The Coalition shed crucial seats to so-called "teal" independents in traditional inner-city Liberal strongholds. They had campaigned on platforms of climate action and integrity in politics."

As always, the pressure is on the new thing to do better than the old thing but this is quite the shift in Australian politics. @Sankari - how are you, my dude?

Australia’s rightwing Coalition government has lost power after nearly a decade in office, with Saturday’s election showing a sharp shift to progressive parties that will result in a Labor government under Anthony Albanese – though he may need the support of climate-focused independents or the Greens.

The Liberal party leader, Scott Morrison, conceded defeat just before 11pm AEST on Saturday, and announced he would step down as leader of his party.


“We’ve seen in our own politics a great deal of disruption as the people have voted today with major parties having one of the lowest primary votes we’ve ever seen,” Morrison told supporters at his election night reception in Sydney.

“I know about the upheaval that’s taking place in our nation. And I think it is important for our nation to heal and to move forward,” Morrison said.
