'I've always believed in miracles', Australia's Christian PM heads to church after unexpected re-election

Despite being down in the opinion polls, his Liberal-National coalition had won 74 of the 76 seats needed to form a majority government. It went into the election as a minority government, with just 73 seats.

His rival, Bill Shorten stood down on Saturday night following the defeat.

Speaking after his victory, he told supporters: "I've always believed in miracles."

"I give thanks to live in the greatest country in all the world. Thanks again to all Australians all across the country."

Morrison worshipped at Horizon Church in Sydney before attending a local football game.

During the election campaign his conservative views on homosexuality were used against him by rivals and media.

Morrison was named Australia's 30th Prime Minister last year. He'll now serve a three year term.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
