Australian Election night - SJWS lose..

Looks like the conservatives won. From what I read it seems this was a shocking win..kind of like how the media prepped everyone for a Hillary win.. only to lose

Projections point to an unexpected result.

Scott Morrison, Australia’s conservative prime minister, won his first full term in office on Saturday, according to projections from Australia’s national broadcaster.

If the results hold, they would confound expectations that the country’s voters were ready for a change in course after six years of tumultuous leadership under his party. The polls had pointed to a loss for Mr. Morrison’s right-leaning coalition for months.

The apparent surprise was the latest swell in a wave of populist fervor that swept President Trump into office and set Britain on a path out of the European Union.

This election presented Australia, a vital American ally in the Asia-Pacific, with a crucial question: Would it remain on a rightward path and stick with a political coalition that promised economic stability and jobs, or choose change and the promise of greater action on climate change and income inequality?
