Australian election: Anthony Albanese leads Labor Party to victory

Australians awoke on Sunday to a new prime minister in Anthony Albanese. The center-left Labor Party leader's ascension to the top job from being raised in social housing by a single mother on a disability pension was said to reflect the country's changed fabric.
