Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.

At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.

    It’s not really left though, it’s just sightly less right. More maintaining status quo instead of taking a big step right. Which I guess by comparison is left?

    Our (Australia’s) progress parties like The Greens actually lost a lot of seats.

    I feel people just didn’t want the Conservative party more so than wanted a progressive party. But I’ll take it.
