Australia PM Anthony Albanese secures majority government

| @indiablooms | 31 May 2022, 07:55 pm

Canberra/UNI: Australia's new Labor government led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has secured a majority in parliament, BBC reported on Tuesday.

When the results were announced a record vote for independents and minor parties had won making it uncertain whether Albanese would manage to get the requisite majority.

But on Tuesday he managed to get the 76 lower house seats needed to form a majority government.

However, it is a different story in the Senate, where Albanese's government will need crossbench support to pass laws.

About a third of Australians voted for candidates outside the major parties, with support surging for the Greens and independents running on climate platforms.

Albanese has promised a "constructive relationship" with the expanded crossbench, despite not needing to rely on their votes in the House of Representatives. Two seats there remain undecided.
