New Delhi, 21/5: Australia’s conservative Prime Minister Scott Morrison conceded election defeat Saturday, hours after voters issued a stinging rebuke of his party’s inaction on climate change.
Morrison acknowledged a “difficult” and “humbling” day for his Liberal party, which has governed Australia for the last decade.
“Tonight I have spoken to the leader of the opposition and the incoming prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and I have congratulated him on his election victory,” he told supporters in Sydney.
