CANBERRA (AUSTRALIA): Australia’s prime minister conceded defeat after an election on Saturday that could deliver a minority government.
Scott Morrison acted quickly despite millions of votes yet to be counted because an Australian prime minister must attend a Tokyo summit on Tuesday with US, Japanese and Indian leaders.
I believe it’s very important that this country has certainty. I think it’s very important this country can move forward, Morrison said.
And particularly over the course of this week with the important meetings that are being held, I think it’s vitally important there’s a very clear understanding about the government of this country, he added. Opposition leader Anthony Albanese will be sworn in as prime minister after his Labour party clenched its first electoral win since 2007.
