What the title says.

I think its sad that labor is going to get back in not because of primary votes but because of fucked up preference deals :(
But at least they will not have the majority in the upper house to get the fucked up filter passed

two links of minor parties that could not be more different LOL

75.3% counted.
Updated Sat Aug 21 11:00PM
Party % Vote Swing Won Predict
Labor 38.0 -5.4 70 71
Coalition 43.9 +1.7 73 74
Greens 11.5 +3.8 1 1
Others 6.6 -0.1 4

yet after preferences they are about 50% each. I fucking hate preferences

hahah wtf, sexparty? Jerkchoices? oh man... I wanna move to Australia now hahaha

Funny stuff aside, things are getting pretty fucking intense/scary.

So what's the the final ultimate result? With 100% counted? or that still not done yet?

100% will not be counted for like a week (postal votes and shit) But at the moment both parties are licking a lot of arse trying to get the 5 independents to side with them so they can form a minority government.

Also the sex party is actually one of the better new parties to pop up. I pretty much agree with all there policies.

The Sex Party are fairly amazing, such quality policies lol.

Libs are holding more seats in the House of Reps last I saw, you think many of the independents will go to the Liberals spriggan?

i think we will be back for another vote next month. At the moment neither party has what it takes to form a stable government.

And do not laugh at the sex party. Go look at there policies then make a decision

How do you mean?

And Mono, not sure how it's going to work, a party needs 76 seats to hold government and at this rate neither Labour nor Liberal have enough, the various Independents are apparently settling which party they're going to side with so hopefully we'll know by next week.

iv lost all hope thats just what i mean. The only thing that was going to save us from fucked up policies like the net filter was that the greens controlled the sen-it. Now the the greens and labour are "a coalition" these stupid policies will just get passed through.

Not all though man, but yeah do see what your getting at. Fuck a Conroy, when it comes to the crunch i don't think it's something that'll be seriously implemented, it's had a lot of bad media for a fair while now.

nbn he knows fuck nothing about anything to do with tech. Like most pollies he is put in his position because he is a party man not because he knows anything about the portfolio he is meant to be in charge of.

also this just in

Independents Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott have broken Australia's political deadlock by agreeing to back Julia Gillard in a Labor minority government.

Damn there we go. Yeah that seems fairly evident from the way he's fearfully clung to the concept of this filter despite everything, it's had very half-arsed support from everyone, Conroy the exception.
