Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The center-left Labor Party is four seats away from an outright majority. Australia election: conservative government voted out after nearly a decade | Australian election 2022 | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Anthony Albanese’s Labor party defeats the ruling Coalition, but may lack the numbers to form majority government Quote 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 see a Labor administration formed – possibly with the support of climate-focussed independents or Greens. Within hours of polls closing, multiple election analysts said it was clear the ruling Coalition – led by Scott Morrison’s conservative Liberal party and the rural-based National party – could not retain the 76 seats it held, which is the minimum required to form a parliamentary majority. Just before 11pm on Saturday, Morrison conceded defeat, and announced he would step down as leader of his party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Labor has 73 seats out of 151 in the lower house, so that's more than needed for an absolute majority without support from the Greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
