The Australian Labor Party in New South Wales state claims power in an election with voters backing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's pledges on anti-privatisation and cost of living relief
Albanese, in the lead-up to polling day, had urged voters in his home state to back Labor, saying the coalition government was"in shambles" due to infighting.
The win marks further endorsement of the party of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who joined his state counterpart Chris Minns in Sydney on polling day. "After 12 years in opposition the people of New South Wales have voted for a fresh start," Minns told supporters in Sydney late on Saturday.
Inflation has posed a challenge for the Reserve Bank of Australia, which this month lifted its cash rate to its highest level in more than a decade.
