SYDNEY (Reuters) - Prime Minister Scott Morrison's re-election prospects got a lift on Saturday when Australia's most populous state, New South Wales (NSW), returned his ruling Liberal Party to power.

The NSW election, less than two months before a federal poll, was seen as a test case of Morrison's strategy to seek re-election on the back of his government's economic record.
