Under whose leadership did Labor experience a surprise defeat in the 2019 election?
Scott Morrison
Bill Shorten
Julia Gillard
Kevin Rudd
Answer
Bill Shorten led Labor to a surprise defeat in the 2019 Australian federal election. The result was widely seen as a rejection of Shorten's leadership, which had been criticised for being too negative and for failing to connect with voters. The election also marked a return to power for the Liberal Party, which had been out of government for six years.
