Australian PM sets election for May 18



SYDNEY: Australia’s prime minister has called for a national election for May 18.

The vote will decide whether the conservative government gets a rare third term in office — and whether embattled incumbent Scott Morrison can beat the odds and hang on to power.

Polls have consistently shown his centre-left Labor opponents with a commanding lead, suggesting a new administration led by former union leader Bill Shorten.
