Prime Minister Scott Morrison pulls off Australian election 'miracle'
SYDNEY - Australia’s ruling Coalition won a spectacular victory in a federal election after voters backed its economic record and roundly rejected Labor’s ambitious agenda to overhaul taxes and tackle climate change.
Despite opinion surveys consistently showing that the Liberal-National Coalition was set to lose, Prime Minister Scott Morrison pulled off the upset with a disciplined campaign that squarely focused on the economy and on voter concerns about Labor leader Bill Shorten.
Appearing jubilant alongside his wife and two daughters, Mr Morrison, a devout Christian, announced victory by declaring: “I have always believed in miracles.”
Flanked by his wife and daughters, Prime Minister Morrison dedicated his surprise victory to the "quiet Australians."
"It's Australians who have worked hard, started a business, started a family, bought a home," he said to loud cheers.
"These are the quiet Australians who have won a great victory tonight."
