Nation wide, working class voters account for around 31% of voters, with most earning less than $1,000 P/Week. Their votes went as follows:
36% Labor
27% Coalition
24% Greens (I didn't except a voter share this high among the working class, I would have expected more Labor)
But here is the interesting part:
38% Others
To state the obvious, those numbers add up to 125%.

I'm aware of The Australian's biases, but what's the chance of this actually happening?

Wasn't when I looked, but it appears to be now. Weird.
Anyway, main story: Turnbull might have a majority (Coalition+One Nation+right-wing micros and indos) to push through the ABCC bill in a joint sitting.

One Nation is pro-union.
I'm aware of that, it's what struck me as odd. Anyway, the article claimed Hanson had recently declared support for "the principles" of the legislation. This would be another, less optimistic (for the government) article on the matter.
