2019年澳大利亚大选的结果令全世界深感意外，美英主流媒体夸大了工党获胜的可能性，对自由党-国家党联盟的“政治奇迹”则准备不足。这既是由于民意调查的严重失准，也部分归因于主流媒体的价值取向和报道偏好。此外，澳大利亚选民在气候变化问题上存在严重分歧，也导致该议题未能如预期那样决定大选结果。莫里森的胜选被视为民粹主义的又一次胜利，也被认为是全球范围“向右转”趋势的最新一步。澳大利亚政坛传统的城乡二元格局已经被打乱，选民群体的选举偏好发生变化，中左翼政党丧失了倾听民意的能力。
The result of the 2019 Australian election surprised the whole world. Mainstream media in the United States and Britain have exaggerated Labor's chances of victory，and have been less prepared for the Coalition's “Miracle”. This is partly due to the serious misalignment in the polls，and also due to the reporting preferences and values of the mainstream media. In addition，Australian voters are deeply divided over the climate change，which failed to determine the outcome of the election as expected. Morrison's victory is seen as another victory for populism and the Australia's election result is considered the latest step in a global “turn to the rightwing” trend. The traditional urban-rural maps on which Australia's major parties have built their majorities are being scrambled. The electoral preferences of voters have changed，while center-left parties have lost their ability to listen.
