Australia election: Ruling conservatives on course for 'miracle' victory while anti-Muslim senator loses seat.
Australia's Liberal-led conservative government was headed for a remarkable victory at the national election early on Sunday after uncovering a narrow path to victory that twisted through urban fringes and rural townships.
The results upended pre-election polls which predicted a Labor victory, though it is unclear whether the coalition can govern with an outright majority or will need to negotiate support from independents. "I have always believed in miracles," Prime Minister Scott Morrison told cheering supporters in Sydney.
The final result may not be known for some time, but the outcome of many individual races — including the defeat of a right-wing senatorSen. Fraser Anning, who sits as an independent, has been widely criticized for blaming Muslim immigration for that claimed at least 50 lives. He also invoked the term"final solution" in a call to restrict Muslim immigration to Australia last year.
