DHAKA: The Australian Broadcasting Corporation on Saturday called a clear win for the Tony Abbott-led conservative opposition over prime minister Kevin Rudd’s Labor in national polls.

‘The coalition is on a pretty secure 74 seats already. On that basis they’re going to get a majority. I think we can say the government has been defeated,’ the state broadcaster’s election analyst Antony Green said.
