Okay, so this doesn't concern most people,... but I am finding it very very interesting to watch!! Our two main parties are neck to neck!! The Senate seats are so CLOSE... 68 Labour (currently in office) and 67 Coalition, 4 other parties, with only 11 more seats in doubt!! Target seats is 76. We will probably get a hung parliament!!!  Seriously, half the electorates are neck to neck, at 44.0% and 44.5%....50.2% and 49.8% So tense!! ^_^ |

Labour's the one with that redheaded woman right? I'll vote for Labour. If I was old enough and Australian.
Good luck with the hung parliament if you get it. Our's is absolute bollocks.

Thanks UK  Labor's the redheaded one, yup. Labor lost a lot of support, due to internal party issues. :/ Currently, it is a hung parliament. It's up to the Independants to see which main party they side with. If they can't get an agreement soon, we're gonna have to vote again. Which would be annoying, really... |

Best of luck to your government.
Annoying to have a re-vote? Bah, much better than having an election finally determined by a goddamn supreme court. At least a re-vote is still democratic. But...it would be annoying. However, it is much better than the "political chaos" I've read about in connection to the Australian Election.

Annoying, but as America said, better. I'm expecting the Independent's to milk it out for all it's worth then try an put a lot of demands and what-not on them.
Why did they oust Kevin Rudd in the first place?
