Howard wins the polls

SYDNEY, NOV. 10. The Australian Prime Minister, Mr. John Howard, swept back to power for a historic third term today in a triumph widely attributed to the strength of public support for his hardline refugee policies.

Although the Opposition had not conceded defeat, computer projections gave Mr. Howard's Liberal-National coalition a likely majority of 10 seats in an expanded 150-seat Australian Parliament.
