Scott Morrison has lost the prime ministership after the coalition failed to secure enough seats to form a government.

Now Labor leader Anthony Albanese will become Australia’s thirty-first prime minister but what shape that will take remains unknown.

Whether he will be able to form a majority government in his own write or a minority government with the support of the greens and independents could take days to ascertain as postal votes and pre-polls are counted.

To look at what has happened and what will happen over the coming days, Nathanael Cooper is joined by National affairs editor James Massola, Chief Political Correspondent David Crowe and executive editor Tory Maguire.
