MELBOURNE/SYDNEY - Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison thanked his fellow Pentecostal churchgoers on Sunday after a miraculous election victory that defied years of unfavorable opinion polls and bruised a Labor opposition that had been widely expected to win.
Morrison told raucously cheering supporters late on Saturday, who had earlier seemed resigned to defeat, that he had always believed in miracles. Opinion polls in Australia had all pointed to a Labor victory. So strong was the expectation the government would fall that one betting agency even paid out bets on a Labor win days before the election.
Senior Labor figures began lining up on Sunday for the leadership after the center-left party lost what some commentators called an “unlosable” election.
