Australia's Labor Party was set to end almost a decade of conservative rule as the government was swept away in Saturday's election by a wave of support for candidates who campaigned for more action on climate change and may hold the balance of power.Partial results showed that while Labor had made small gains, Prime Minister Scott Morrison's Liberal-National coalition had been punished by voters in Western Australia and affluent urban seats in particular, Reuters reported.Tonight, I have spoken to the leader of the opposition and the incoming prime minister, Anthony Albanese.

I think people have had enough of division, what they want is to come together as a nation and I intend to lead that.Albanese said he aimed to be sworn in swiftly so he could attend a meeting of the Quad security grouping in Tokyo on Tuesday.
He promised constitutional recognition and parliamentary representation for Indigenous Aboriginals, as well as the establishment of an anti-corruption commission.The post Australia ousts conservatives after nine years, Albanese to be PM first appeared on Ariana News.
