Scott Morrison will remain Australia's Prime Minister after Labor conceded defeat in the country's election.
Thanking those who backed him he said: "I have always believed in miracles.
"Tonight is not about me or it's not about even the Liberal party. Tonight is about every single Australian who depends on their government to put them first.
"I said I was going to burn for you and I am, every single day."
Pre-election opinion polls had suggested that the coalition would lose its bid for a third three-year term and Mr Morrison would have had one of the shortest tenures as prime minister in the 118-year history of the Australian federation.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten called Prime Minister Scott Morrison to congratulate him on the win, he announced late on Saturday night in Melbourne.
Mr Shorten said: "It is obvious that Labor will not be able to form the next government and so, in the national interest, a short while ago, I called Scott Morrison to congratulate him."
Late Saturday, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. called 74 seats in the 151-seat lower parliamentary house as wins for Mr Morrison's conservative Liberal-National party coalition.
It put 65 seats to Labor and 12 as undecided.
While the Channel 9 network called 73 seats to the coalition, 61 to Labor, with 17 undecided.
A total of 76 seats are needed to form a majority government.
There was so much public confidence of a Labor victory that Australian online bookmaker Sportsbet paid out 1.3 million Australian dollars, around £700,000, to bettors who backed Labor two days before the election.
