Australian Prime Minister Concedes Election Defeat

 

Daily Mail: Australia's new PM Anthony Albanese makes powerful victory speech with girlfriend Jodie and declares Aussies 'voted for change' - before losing his temper at raucous crowd 

* Scott Morrison has been booted from power with Anthony Albanese replacing him as Prime Minister 

* There was a big swing to the ALP in Western Australia with Swan, Pearce and Hasluck turning red 

* Liberal heavyweight Josh Frydenberg has probably lost his seat to 'teal' independent Monique Ryan 

* Labor may need the support of the Greens and independents to form government with 76 seats needed 

Anthony Albanese has declared 'Aussies have voted for change' in his victory speech after securing an historic election win - and also blasted rowdy supporters in a cranky outburst. 

Mr Albanese will become Australia's 31st Prime Minister after winning at least nine seats from the Liberal Party, but may still need support from the Greens and independents to govern. 

After receiving a concession call from Scott Morrison, the Labor leader addressed jubilant supporters in Sydney shortly before midnight.
