Business Insider: Australia's conservative leader Tony Abbott claims victory in Australia's federal election during an election night function in Sydney September 7, 2013. Abbott swept into office in a landslide election on Saturday as voters punished the outgoing Labor government for six years of turbulent rule and for failing to maximise the benefits of a now fading mining boom.
Tony Abbott, head of the conservative Liberal Party, will be the new Prime Minister of Australia.
He's a pretty controversial guy....
