Lisa Wilkinson slams Scott Morrison one final time

Lisa Wilkinson has taken one final swipe at Scott Morrison, just hours after he conceded the election to Anthony Albanese. 

The host of The Project, who has been vocal about her disapproval of Morrison throughout the federal election campaign, took to Twitter to share her final thoughts about the election result on Saturday night. 

Tweeting on Sunday morning, Wilkinson wrote, “Last night’s result proves that if you look the other way when it comes to women, the planet, corruption, bad behaviour and a refugee family who want to do nothing more than live a safe life in a country town that loves them, change is always going to happen”.

Lisa gave her online followers a look into her election night, as she shared a photo alongside actor Simon Baker, journalist Jennifer Byrne and host of ABC’s The Drum Julia Baird as they watched Labor clinch the victory.

“Well that was a fun night. This one’s for you Brittany Higgins,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.

Wilkinson has been a harsh critic of Scott Morrison for some time, as she regularly shared her opinion on the out-going Prime Minister's divisive policies. 

On election night, Anthony Albanese and the Labor party reigned victorious over a devastating loss for the Liberal party, as Labor takes control of the government for the first time in nine years. 

Many legacy Liberal seats in Sydney were taken over by independent candidates, who made their dislike for the Liberal party known as they promised action on climate change. 

The Greens had their best result ever, as they had dramatic wins in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, with Queensland seats also turning their back on Scott Morrison. 

Pauline Hanson is also at risk of losing her seat to the Greens, as the controversial One Nation leader is trailing behind the Queensland Greens candidate Penny Allman-Payne for the race to the Senate.

Anthony Albanese is set to be sworn in as Australia's 31st Prime Minister later today, as he prepares for his first official engagement at the Tokyo summit.
