Canberra: Australians have begun voting on Saturday in the first general election since political infighting ousted the nation’s fourth leader in a decade. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said he has united his conservative government in the nine months since he replaced Malcolm Turnbull, the BBC reported. Labour opposition leader Bill Shorten has pressed his case with stark policy alternatives. Australia has mandatory voting and a record 16.4 million enrolled voters. The nation holds elections every three years, but no prime minister has succeeded in serving a full term since 2007. (IANS)
