Winning government but not the popular vote makes for a very unpopular government 2. minority governments are easy to demonise 3. they have won some safe lib seats so they would almost certainly lose those swings usually go against a first term government except in marginal seats (the sophmore effect)

Also Greens picking up seats FFS. Why people why if every seat where the current party is in the lead holds and WA performs how polls predict then yes a hung parliment a lot of those seats are close though and it doesn't take many to flip to libs to get a majority though alternatively late vote in 3 marginal seats where labour are unexpectedly behind and a single unexpected result in labours favour in WA while holding all other seats means labour get an outright majority. I put that at a 10% chance, lower than the start of the night

people should keep in mind that libs have more paths to absolute majority so the most COMMON (mode) result from here is a hung parliment but the most likely is a lib majority

I'd be happy enough with that result. It's interesting ABC can't work out the Xenophon vote here. It's partially parochialism (he's always voted in SA's interests) but also the LNP royally screwed us with Holden's and the subs until Pyne and a few others found themselves in trouble.
