So, right now it's a dead-heat between Labor and LNP. [View all]
Whoever wins, the chances of a hung parliament seem to be very likely, according to the Fairfax-Ipsos poll released today.
There are worse things, such as a Turnbull government in a clear majority. I'm praying that voters will decide to go for Shorten, the underdog, in traditional Australian fashion, but it's a nervous time for the Left.
The Senate will be interesting, whoever wins. In spite of the efforts of LNP and the Greens to get rid of minor parties who so stuffed up things for Abbott and Turnbull in their first terms, there's a good chance that many of them will still be around to give the government a hard time. Lazarus and Lambie are believed to have a very good chance of holding their seats, Xenophon is expected to be joined by up to four of his new team in the Senate, and the Greens will hold their numbers, at least.
With so much at stake - Medicare, Gonski reforms, and climate change, to mention the most outstanding, this is a nail-biting election. Not helped by the blatant bias not only of Murdoch and Fairfax (expected), but the ABC - quite a shock to see the Lib trolls in full cry on Auntie. Although, perhaps not, given that a Murdoch toady has the top job.
So vote carefully in the Senate, everyone - they're the votes that count.
And may your candidate win tomorrow!
