Australia's PM Albanese secures historic by-election win, strengthening government's grip.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor party won a by-election for the lower house federal seat of Aston in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, a 100-year first, with a swing of more than 6%, in a blow to the conservative Liberal-National opposition coalition in one of its traditional strongholds in Victoria state. Despite calling the election result "a historic win", Albanese said his government would remain grounded and not "get carried away".
