She believes in what she says, while I may not agree with the majority what she says just like Trump but I do like people like this. It is different to the same old lines we hear from the usual A and B.

labour need one of the close seats where libs lead to go in their favour to have a chance of governing with minors. 2 would make it favourites

outside of wa the best shots for labour to come back
lindsay forde capricornia all less than 50% of the vote and withing half a percent each

best shot for libs is petrie

labour has strengthened in most seats throughout the night as early voting strongly favoured libs

I think labour minority government is now over 30% chance
their popular vote is now 50.71% which means they can claim a mandate when forming a coalition

seat count
68 to labour
67 to libs
others have 5

aec now has 69 for labour and libs
5 for others

I think at the moment we are looking at 70% chance of liberals running government in some form (getting 75 or more seats gaurantees it)

Talked to a bloke in the pub about her last night and he said "well everything she says is right".

And I said it's easy to complain, harder to come up with solutions and the stupid woman hasn't a sensible idea in that empty head of hers.

Looks like Wyatt Roy has been voted out

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Good. Go out and get some life experience and then come back in 5 or 10 years if you want another crack.

Should never have been elected in the first place.

Fuark this is going to be seriously close. No chance we know the result for certain tonight.

Libs may - just - sneak past the post with a majority, but in the event of a hung parliament, these are the 5 non-Lib/Lab reps who will decide the government:

Andrew Wilkie - Independent - Denison (Tasmania) - Formed an agreement with Gillard in 2010 for a minority Labor government after she agreed to tighten poker machine regulations, however may not be so keen on Labor this time around after the Labor government backed down on this promise in 2013 after lobbying from NSW gambling interests.

Bob Katter - Katter's Australian Party - Kennedy (Queensland) - Sat on the cross-benches in 2010, "Mad Bob" could be swayed by either party or choose to sit out as he did last time around.

Cathy McGowan - Independent - Indi (Victoria) - A surprise winner in 2013, has strong connections to rural communities in Victoria and as an ex-teacher and community worker is seen as a compassionate and well-liked personality in her electorate.

Rebekha Sharkie - Xenophon Team - Mayo (South Australia) - A former staffer for her defeated Liberal opponent Jamie Briggs and ex-advisor to the SA Libs. Bit of a wild card but I'd say she'd probably be keener to align with a minority Lib government.

Adam Bandt - Greens - Melbourne (Victoria) - Held the seat since 2010, odds on to align with the Labor party in a hung parliament, though he may pretend otherwise to increase his party's bargaining power!

So on that info I'd say a Liberal minority government is likely in the event that the Liberals don't scrape the majority. That said, both parties will be trying their best to sway the cross-benchers.
