Australia’s Labor Party leader, Anthony Albanese, was sworn in as the country’s 31st prime minister on Monday, promising to bring the country together after a fractious election campaign as he vowed to tackle climate change and inequality.
Labor returned to power after nine years in opposition as a wave of unprecedented support for the Greens and climate-focused independents, mostly women, helped end nearly a decade of rule by the conservative coalition in Saturday’s general election.
India, the United States, Japan, and Australia are members of the Quad, an informal group that Washington has been promoting to work as a potential bulwark against China’s increasing political, commercial and military activity in the Indo-Pacific. Center-left Labor still remains four seats short of a majority of 76 in the 151 seat lower house, with about a dozen races too close to call, according to television channels.So-called “teal independents” campaigning in affluent, Liberal-held seats on a platform of climate, integrity and equality, could hold significant sway.
Mr. Albanese said he hoped Labor would get enough seats to govern on their own but added he had struck deals with some independents in which they would not support no-confidence motions against his government. The swearing-in of the full ministry will happen on June 1, he said.
