Prime Minister Scott Morrison thanks 'all Australians' for returning his conservative coalition to power in a shock general election result, and has vowed to get straight back to work.
A jubilant Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday vowed to get straight back to work after a shock general election victory, which delivered the country three more years of conservative government.
With 75% of votes counted by Sunday, the coalition had won 74 of the 76 seats needed to form a majority government. It went into the election as a minority government, with just 73 seats. The 51-year-old, who received a congratulatory phone call from President Donald Trump earlier Sunday, said that he was eager to return to work on Monday to form his new government.
Analysts credited the result also to a simple coalition platform centering on promises of keeping taxes to a minimum. "I'm disappointed for people who depend upon Labor, but I'm glad that we argued what was right, not what was easy," Shorten told supporters.
