So who'll be more representative of the 'will of the people'? A lower house minority govt with it's short and curlies held by 3 independants, or an upper house with balance of power held by a party with 9 seats selected by proportional voting from most of the states? Gotta think the Greens would have a pretty strong argument for a mandate.
If the LNPs get a minority govt together with the indeps, I reckon we'll be back at the polling booths pdq.

Yep. Very close now. Hard to keep up! It was Hasluck, now Brisbane. The seat I live in, Corangamite, is now back on the AEC's "Close" list.
Hard to see how this is going to pan out until those 3 seats are decided.

Yep. No eye contact from Katter. Swan's in his rightful place, lickspittle.
AEC is now declaring Brisbane & Hasluck has gone to the Liberals and Corangamite to Labor plus Dennison to Andrew Wilkie making up a total of 4 independants.
They are no longer listed as close seats, most margins are around the 1% mark, I think counting has finished but not sure if there will be any recounts
That leaves a total of
73 Coalition
72 Labor
1 Green
4 Independants
Which is pretty much what was expected
