Australia’s federal election 2019 ended with a surprise win by the Liberal-National Party coalition，though the opposition Labor Party had been widely expected to be the frontrunner. Now having the next federal election in 2022 in sight，both major parties effected reshuffling and changes，partly to avoid instability which had characterised Australian politics for the past decade. The Morrison government was faced with severe challenges at home during 2019-2020，first the worst bushfire season in the country’s history and then the COVID-19，both of which dealt a serious blow to both the economy and public confidence. After drawing wide criticism on his response to the bush fire，Morrison took swift and responsive measures to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic，bringing his approval rate back to high again. Year 2021 is expected to be another challenging year for the Morrison government，for whom great uncertainty remains in pandemic control and economic recovery. Performance in those areas will prove to be key for the Liberal Party in the coming election.
