what will tell us a little bit more about the labor party and what's behind their victory? well, along with the soaring cost of living, the climate crisis really emerged as one of the top issues. during this election, the greens party made sweeping gains as did independent candidates who were campaigning on political integrity and climate action. and it's both of those who took seats away from coalition and pays a really behind this to face of the coalition. and those winds are a clear sign that the majority of australians want a government that does more to tackle global warming, especially following our worst ava bush season in 20192020. of course, the black, some of bush clients who could forget and more recently, a series of devastating floods that currently australia is one of the world's largest stakes, which is a poll, and we are the worst pollution greenhouse gas emissions per capita. in the early cd rachelle, what changes apart from climate change could we see in australia with the shift to labor? well, it's actually interesting to see how climate policy will change

celebrations for australia's labor party as it wins the country's general election. it means this man, anthony albanese, is set to form the next government though it's not yet clear whether it will be a majority or minority administration. it says a lot about our great country that the son of a single mum who is a disability pensioner, who grew up in public housing down the road can stand before you tonight as australia's prime minister. i've always believed in australians and theirjudgment and i've always been prepared to accept their verdicts. we'll have the latest on what this means for australia — and for the world. also this hour... here, opposition parties demand an explaination from borisjohnson, after he met with the senior civil servant, sue gray, ahead of the publication of her report into lockdown parties at downing street. two people have been taken to hospital after a stand collapsed during a trooping the colour rehearsal in central london. pharmacists have been given temporary power to make swaps to women's hormone replacement therapy prescriptions, amid

the incumbent, conservative liberal party last seats to labor across the country. but the biggest challenge came from a rising group of independent candidates who focused their campaigns around climate action and cracking down on corruption. the outgoing prime minister scott morrison conceded defeat and announced he had stepping down as leader of the liberals. i've always believed in australians and their judgment, and i've always been prepared to accept their verdicts and to not they have delivered their verdict. and i congratulate antony abernathy in the labor party and i wish him and his government all the very best to help with virt still being counted. the new prime minister has not yet secured the 76 seats needed to is an outright majority. and with almost half of australia, 17000000 voters costing their ballot by post. it may be weeks until the final result is known. rachelle harrison class is a journalist in sydney, australia's largest city. she told us more about what was behind labors victory. the climate crisis really emerged as one of the top issues a d

of the conservatives and the labor party in favor of minor parties like the greens who have done it really well. and these climate focused anti corruption, independents who have been taking more traditionally conservative states off the conservatives. and as a result, they've had a pretty shocking result. this time around, we have that, but we also have a big factor of trust and i think what was on the minds of voters was things like climate change with a staunch supporter of australia's fossil fuel industry was the right person to lead australia during a time when experts say more extreme weather events taking place and they going to keep happening like the floods and the bush fires. also, he's handling of the pandemic. the sluggish vaccine roll out has played a part, but there are many challenges facing australia. aside from that, you mentioned some of them storing cost of living high inflation and you know, child care aged kids, rising prices, rising housing, rental shortages, all of these factors have come together to lead australians to as we can see in these results, call for change

well, the labor party had shed the government liberal party government target of the emission by 2050 by 2030. it will. i'm to reduce mission by 43 percent and it proposes to do it through a package of measures that it had value to almost $700000000.00. given your report noted that there has been a way of independent that a very passionate about climate change elected into the palm. and along with some more members of the grains, it's likely that the target will likely be pushed to be more ambitious by people sitting on the cross bench. and what does albany these when mean forced really role on the world stage? well, the timing, very interesting, of course, because on just wake albany is supposed to be going to tokyo, where you will make with the other latest of the so called quad grouping. that is, along with the us, japan and india. and you know, grouping of course, is sort of it not openly but, but everybody knows is sort of there to try and off that influence in the region of china. but it is interesting. on monday you will swearingen fives and pe into into the cabinet, including

does a labor party dominated - a labor party dominated government represent perhaps a softer touch fromfter touch from a bei'ing perspectiveai softer touch from a bei'ing perspective? softer touch from a bei'ing --ersective? ~ ., . . ., ., perspective? well, according to the outgoing — perspective? well, according to the outgoing prime _ perspective? well, according to the outgoing prime minister- the outgoing prime minister scott morrison that is most definitely what he said in pretty explosive claims made during the australian election. essentially mr morrison was saying that the labor party was conniving in some way with beijing. that has been roundly rejected by mr albanese. i think what we will see is a softer diplomacy from the labor party when it comes to abhorent policy. the indications are that mr albanese the's new government will seek to shore up government will seek to shore up these alliances in the asia—pacific region and the indo—pacific region with countries such as japan and india and others. to try to counter china's growing assertiveness. that is what makes this quad

almost a decade. australian voters are that the labor party. instead, it now falls to anthony albany. seemed to form a new government, but he's yet to secure a parliamentary majority. sarah clark report from sydney election day in australia . voters turned up to cast their vote. i think we need a little bit of disruption here in australia. in fact, i think we need a lot of disruption. we need people who can stand up and, and have opinions and thoughts not based on party. there's been a few things i was in the last 3 years, especially during the pandemic. that is the government, as has got wrong. after 6 weeks on the campaign trail, the prime minister scott morrison returned to his sydney electorate flanked by his wife and 2 daughters. the coalition leader made a last minute pitch to vote. who's on the 1st prime minister in a very long time that's been able to go through a term and fight the people on a 2nd time. and i'm seeking that support because i know this country is facing some strong and difficult and challenging taunt ah, the labor party

we've seen the labor party gain sates from the labor party. we've seen the grains again, states from the labor party, so it's been a massive shift to not at this election. and as i mentioned at the prime minister, he was unpopular and we've seen that plowed in the vote at to night. and those key issues that people wanted movement on that's being played out as well. climate change, what was an offer from both the major parties, people what truly disillusioned and frustrated by lack of policy at all in those key issues like climate change and cost of living. and the election campaign that was run out in, in australia. it was very much a personality based 10 pine and that's where people i think, felt that they're being taken for granted by the 2 key parties that being lab and the coalition. so i've certainly seen a big change. it's not a change in the political landscape in australia for the 2022 election and we have a new prime minister, anthony albanese. but what we don't know is whether or not who can win or rule. i should say that with a majo

traditional to party structure in australia, of, of the conservatively rules and, and the central, if labor party and have there's been a huge surgeon support for the greens and climate focused anti corruption, independence, who are doing really well. those independence largely have been taking seats off the incumbent, liberal conservative party. so this is one factor i think another factor is trust. that was a big part of the selection. i think when voters were going to the ballad books today, maybe they were thinking should a man like scott morrison, who's a staunch supporter of australia's fossil fuel industry? is he the right person to lead a country that experts say is going to be facing severe weather events going forward? like we've recently seen with, with the floods and with the bush fires, not just climate, but also other challenges as well. soaring prices, cost of living, very high inflation, which is at a 20 year high right now. issues like child care, aged care, housing. there's a rental crisis to i think all of these factors just swill together and voices to want something different

polls are open in australia's general election, with the opposition labor party hoping to end nine yearsor leader, anthony albanese. whoever wins has tough challenges ahead, including the cost of living and climate change. the commander of ukraine's azov regiment says his soldiers have finally ended their defence of the devastated port city of mariupol. the russian defence ministry says its forces are in complete control of the vast steelworks there. fighters from the azov regiment were holed up inside the plant for weeks, while the city suffered constant bombardment. the united states has told the uk and the european union to "lower the temperature" in their dispute over the post—brexit trading rules in northern ireland.

his challenger is anthony albany, the leader of the center lift labor party. he has put himself forward as a more a man of the people he grew up in. public housing was raised by a single mother. he's slightly more ambitious when it comes to reducing emissions, but hasn't committed to phasing out or cutting coal. if we put the campaigns side by side, they are, it's been a divisive campaign, but neither side experts saying has really put forward the kind of transformative policies that australia really needs right now when it comes to dealing with the challenges that we've been talking about. so as the accounting happens across the country, we'll have to see what the voters, what all right, and thanks for that update d, w is jared read. and if you'd like to follow up on that and all the stories of being korean, you can go to our website d, w dot com. that's up to date with all the news and, and that's i've told the elliptical for myself and the team. thanks for joining us . right. ah, ah, what secrets lie behind these walls? discover new adventures in 360 degree

those are the issues that they put to their for and then you've got the labor party on the other side that might be. ready on, you know, social issues like health care, child care, gender equity. so you know what the parties are trying to show the strength of the people in the last election. as sure actually said the unreasonable election for the labor at the last. yeah. any content that many content that they lost because they tried to creep to the liberal party for time trying to talk about taxation and about money policies, which really made the frenzy bring secure and the pose move wrong in the last election before saturday. i want to bring in a voice type that i would love you to build off. so this is things blackwell. and we all strings a little bit early on. what is this election about? this is what james says, but i'm really curious to see what you think the election is about his james festival selection to focus on 3 key issues, common change, cost of living, and integrity and governance, govern government with carson is happy to receive relation. but focusing on their record

the opposition with the labor party didn't relate so low the big policies into life in the campaign on both sides . a really might have a personality driven campaign, the government's being the coalition. it's argued that and easy the labor leader. he that they framed him as being weak and having no credentials, certainly on the economic side of things. and of course, labor has been running on the bullying allegations and the running on the popularity or lack of popularity for scott morrison. the key issues that we've seen climate change that was a national survey. the largest national vote survey indicated that one 3rd of people here in australia believe the climate change was the most important election issue or other issues. we've got his national security. we've gotten the solomon islands and certainly put national security and regional security. essential to the agenda and we've got to the cost of living and, and i'd care, i should say, but it's difficult to get a full term for prime minister that's looking at the political history. we saw john how it attempt that and he filed but
