Australia's opposition Labour Party leader Bill Shorten on Saturday conceded defeat to Prime Minister Scott Morrison in country's general election.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation called 74 seats in the 151-seat lower parliamentary house as wins for Morrison's Liberal-National party coalition, with 65 seats to Labour and 12 undecided.
Seventy-six seats are needed to form a majority government.
Shorten said he called Morrison to congratulate him and announced he would not stand for re-election as Labour leader.
