An business has paid out for the incorrect result in the nation's elections.

Sportsbet handed out more than A$ 1m (₤ 540,000) to those who thought that the opposition Labor Party would win, 2 days before Saturday's vote.

Polls had actually commonly anticipated a Labor win for the very first time in six years.

But with most of the votes counted, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, a conservative, is projected to win a shock bulk.

The betting company informed its followers that it has now also paid cash to those who anticipated that Scott Morrison's Liberal-National would win.

As the outcomes was available in, Sportsbet required to social media to share the mistake.
