26.9% counted so far; looks like the Coalition will win most votes, Labor most seats, but it's not guaranteed. STV can be funny like that...

Labor 63, Coalition 50.

It's a sign of how long this site has been around that I can remember following the 2004 election here.

Anthony Green predicts Labor 73, Coalition 72, Green 1, Independents 4.

So, it's up to the Independents...

yeah, but realistically of tose 8 undecided, it's going to end up as Silent Hunter suggested. 75 Left, 72 coalition and 3 right-leaning independents. PM Gillard.

That's 75 left, 75 right... interesting. What happens in a confidence vote if it's 75-75?

Not sure in Australia, but in the British system that it's based on; the government would survive; the Speaker must vote in favour of the status quo.

Canada, the UK and Australia all have hung parliaments now under systems that are designed to prevent such situations.

Ironic, isn't it?
