'What a relief that you won': Malcolm Turnbull
Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has expressed "relief" at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' win, capping off the succinct Tweet with a series of praying hands emojis.
Speaking to ABC's Insiders on Sunday morning, Mr Turnbull said he hopes the Biden administration will mean a return to "normal transmission".
"An administration that is going to be consistent, that isn't going to be, you know, making decisions by wild Tweets in the early hours of the morning, this isn't going to be walking out of global treaties and alliances, you know, discombobulating friends and foes alike," he said.
Fellow Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd also weighed in on the developments in the US during the program, saying the peaceful transition of power will depend on two things: whether Mr Trump pits on his "big boy pants" and how the Murdoch press and Fox News handle the situation.

Donald Trump says he broke record with '71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES'
Donald Trump has returned to Twitter after finishing off a round of golf, declaring he received "71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES ... The most EVER for a sitting President".
While technically true, it is also important to note that Democratic challenger received almost 75,000,000 votes - about four million more than Mr Trump in an election which saw record voter turn-out.
This makes Mr Biden the record-holder for the most votes received in an American presidential election.
In the same set of Tweets, Mr Trump also repeated unfounded claims about "BAD THINGS" happening during the counting process and .
"THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOM," he wrote. "I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE."
There has been no credible evidence put forward of widespread voter fraud, but that hasn't stopped the Trump campaign launching a slew of legal challenges to the results.

Trump campaign holds press conference at Four Seasons... landscaping
In one of the more confusing developments of the morning (you know, other than an incumbent American president refusing to accept the results of a democratic election), the Trump campaign has held a press conference in the car park of a small landscaping business.
President Donald Trump tweeted early on Sunday morning, AEST, that a "big press conference" would be taking place at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia, the largest city in deciding battleground state Pennsylvania.
Former New York mayor and President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani fronted reporters alongside other campaign officials at the event, but one has to wonder whether they had in fact intended to book a Four Seasons hotel.
Whether it was a mistake, or intentional, the media conference - which discussed the Trump campaign's pending legal challenges in the state - went ahead against a backdrop of 'Trump 2020' signs.

'American leadership is indispensable' to facing global challenges, says Scott Morrison
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has issued a longer statement addressing the incoming Biden administration, stating that American leadership is "indispensable" to meeting the global challenges currently facing the world.
He said he was looking forward to working with President-elect Joe Biden and his team on fighting the coronavirus pandemic, and resulting recession, developing a COVID-19 vaccine, and creating new technologies to reduce global emissions and confront climate change.
"The Australia-US Alliance is enduring and built on shared democratic values such as the international rule of law, respect for human rights and equality, freedom of religion and belief, freedom of expression and diversity of opinion," he said, in the statement on Sunday morning (AEST).
"Our partnership goes back more than a century. Next year, our countries will celebrate 70 years since the signing of the ANZUS Treaty — the foundation of our security alliance."
Mr Morrison also thanked President Donald Trump, vice-president Mike Pence and secretary of state Mike Pompeo for their strong working relationship with Australia over the past four years, and said he would continue to work with them throughout the transition period.
"Australia has enjoyed a strong working relationship with the current administration, one that has seen the strength of our alliance continue to grow and deepen," the statement read.
President Trump has not conceded the election, instead declaring that he had "won this election, by a lot" in a post flagged by Twitter as inaccurate.
But world leaders, including Mr Morrison, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have ignored his protests and pledged their support for a Biden administration.

Through tears, CNN panelist shares emotional response to Joe Biden's win
CNN panelist Van Jones has broken down in tears on air during the network's rolling coverage of Joe Biden's historic presidential win.
Asked about his reaction to the result, the former advisor to Barack Obama said it was "easier to be a parent this morning, it's easier to be a dad".
"It's easier to tell your kids that character matters, it matters, telling the truth matters, being a good person matters," he said, wiping away tears.
"If you're Muslim in this country, you don't have to worry that the President doesn't want you here. If you're an immigrant, you don't have to worry if the President is going to be happy to have babies snatched away ... it's vindication for a lot of people that have really suffered.
"'I can't breath', that wasn't just George Floyd. That was a lot of people who felt that they couldn't breath."

Now it's official, here's what you need to know about the next US president
After a long four days of counting votes, Democrat Joe Biden has now officially been declared the winner. So, who is he - and what will his presidency mean for America and the world?
At 77 years old, he will become America's oldest ever president. He's also a veteran politician, having run for president twice before and served as vice-president under Barack Obama.
He was raised in the rust belt town of Scranton, Pennsylvania - fittingly the state that delivered his victory - to working-class parents.

'Lots of work to do': World leaders react to a new US president
Leaders from around the world have responded to Joe Biden's historic win, calling for unity and a shared effort to combat the coronavirus pandemic and climate change.
Among them was New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern who said she looked forward to developing "even closer relations" with the incoming Biden administration. She said Mr Biden had been a "close friend" of New Zealand, and the most senior US politician to visit the Pacific nation since 1999 during his term as vice-president.
“New Zealand will continue to work side-by-side with the United States on the issues that matter to both of us, including the prosperity, security, and sustainability in the Indo-Pacific and Pacific Island regions," she said in a statement on Sunday, AEST.
“The campaign by the President-elect has also shown the shared interests we have in addressing global challenges like COVID-19 and climate change."
Mr Ardern also acknowledged the "positive and cooperative relations" she had shared with the US under Donald Trump.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson also congratulated Mr Biden and Kamala Harris specifically on her "historic achievement" to become the first woman to serve as vice-president of the US.
"The US is our most important ally and I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities, from climate change to trade and security," he wrote.
In neighbouring Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was looking forward to working with Mr Biden and Ms Harris to continue the "unique relationship" between their countries.
"Canada and the United States enjoy an extraordinary relationship – one that is unique on the world stage. Our shared geography, common interests, deep personal connections, and strong economic ties make us close friends, partners, and allies," he said in a statement.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the leaders had a "lot of work to do" to overcome today's challenges, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel described their transatlantic friendship as "irreplaceable". "I wish luck and success from the bottom of my heart," she wrote on Twitter.

Where has Donald Trump been this morning? Golfing of course
Donald Trump has spent the morning which saw his presidency come to an end golfing, leaving the course in Virginia a short time ago for the White House.
Hundreds of his supporters and those of President-elect Joe Biden gathered outside the Trump National Golf Club on Sunday morning, AEST, waving signs declaring "stop the steal" and American flags.
The incumbent President has refused to accept the media's projection of a Mr Biden win, instead falsely tweeting that he had "won this election, by a lot". In a statement, he vowed to continue a slew of legal changes and cast doubt over the legitimacy of the results.

American politicians across the political divide rush to congratulate Joe Biden
Donald Trump has not rushed to congratulate his rival Joe Biden, but that hasn't stopped at least one other Republican from sharing his well wishes.
Republican Senator Mitt Romney - and one of Mr Trump's biggest critics from within the Party - shared his congratulations on Twitter, describing Mr Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris as "people of good will and admirable character".
Of course, Mr Biden's Democratic allies were also quick to celebrate his win, including former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton who lost to Mr Trump in 2016.
"The voters have spoken, and they have chosen Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to be our next president and vice president," she declared on Twitter, describing them as a "history-making ticket" and the win as a "repudiation of Trump".
Her husband and former US President Bill Clinton also congratulated the "momentous victory". "America has spoken and democracy has won. Now we have a President-Elect and Vice President-Elect who will serve all of us and bring us all together," he wrote.
Meanwhile, former president Barack Obama - who Mr Biden served under as vice-president - issued a lengthy statement calling for Americans to "give him a chance".
"The election results at every level show that the country remains deeply and bitterly divided," he said. "It will be up to not just Joe and Kamala but each of us, to do our part: to reach out beyond our comfort zone, to listen to others, to lower the temperatures and find some common ground."
Mr Obama acknowledged that his friend faced a "series of extraordinary challenges" as he takes office, including the raging coronavirus pandemic that has infected record numbers of Americans this week.

'We did it, Joe'
This election has been historic for a lot of reasons, including that Kamala Harris will become the first woman, and woman of colour, to become vice-president of the United States.
Ms Harris was born in California in 1964 to a Jamaican father, economics professor John Harris, and an Indian mother, Shyamala Gopalan, a leading breast cancer specialist and civil rights activist.
This delves into how a daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants carved her path to the second highest office in the country.
And here's the moment that became a reality.

A message from the incoming First Lady
Jill Biden has shared a message following her husband's projected victory:
How Joe Biden and Donald Trump responded
Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump have issued first statements after the media called Pennsylvania, and therefore the presidency, for the Democratic challenger.
Here is what Mr Biden had to say:
“I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice President-elect Harris.
In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America.
With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation.
It’s time for America to unite. And to heal. We are the United States of America. And there’s nothing we can’t do, if we do it together.”
President Trump has not conceded the election. Here is his statement:
“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over.
Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.
In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media."

What did we miss overnight?
As we've been reporting over the past few days, it all came down to Pennsylvania in the end.
The Associated Press called the state for Joe Biden at about 3:30am, AEST, after his lead grew to more than 34,000 votes. This took him to 273 electoral votes, enough to win the presidency.
But about half an hour later, the newswire also called Nevada for the Democratic challenger, extending his lead to 279 electoral votes.
Votes in battleground states Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina are still being counted, but there is no way Donald Trump can win the presidency.
