In Australia, Malcolm Turnbull has been sworn in as the new prime minister after former Prime Minister Tony Abbott was ousted in snap elections called for by his own Liberal Party. Public opinion of Tony Abbott had reached a record low amid controversial decisions to roll back climate change legislation, oppose same-sex marriage and turn back boats carrying refugees. Turnbull spoke to reporters after Monday’s vote.

Malcolm Turnbull: “This will be a thoroughly liberal government. It will be a thoroughly liberal government committed to freedom, the individual and the market. It will be focused on insuring that in the years ahead, as the world becomes more and more competitive and greater opportunities arise, we are able to take advantage of that.”
