The Coalition has been swept to a convincing election victory in a result that could keep Labor in the political wilderness for a decade, with incoming prime minister Tony Abbott declaring the country is “under new management”.
ALP seats fell across the country on Saturday, ensuring Tony Abbott will be the 28th prime minister of Australia and have a commanding majority, holding up to 90 seats in the 150 seats in the House of Representatives.
Mr Abbott said he would methodically deliver on his promises with a government that accepts it will be judge more by it’s deeds than its word.
This is the best news from down under in years. Mr. Abbott is a pro-life Catholic, who though socially conservative on many issues (he opposes gay marriage) leans libertarian on others. He is extremely cool on military interventionism and is an unabashed monarchist. What a great day for Australia!
