Tony Abbott wins Australian election
Australia's opposition has crushed the governing Labor party in a general election that has returned the Liberal-National coalition to power for the first time in six years.
Liberal leader Tony Abbott said he looked forward to forming a competent and trustworthy government.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd earlier admitted defeat and said he would not stand again for the Labor leadership.
