Labor Government Breaks Australia's 'Incumbency Curse'

Meanwhile, Labor's Anthony Albanese has defied the so-called "incumbency curse" to be re-elected Australia's prime minister in a landslide. Taking us through Australia’s election results is Dr Rob Manwaring, Associate Professor in the College of Business, Government and Law, Flinders University.
