Oz Liberal-National coalition pulls ahead in election race | Australia's Liberal-National coalition's chances of forming a minority government have taken a dramatic change for the better following counting of votes in two key seats. Analysts have given the crucial
Tasmanian seat of Denison to the independent Andrew Wilkie after he drew 1375
votes ahead of Labor's Jonathan Jackson. If Wilkie wins the seat it will push
the number of independents in the new parliament to four, adding confusion to
an already complex situation. Neither the coalition nor Labor will reach the 76
lower house seats needed to govern in their own right. Instead, both will have
to negotiate support for a minority government with a crossbench that could include
six MPs. According to The Age, the coalition is in the box seat with 72 seats
so far to Labor's 71. Meanwhile, Labor's chances in Hasluck (WA) have been dealt
a blow with the first batch of postal votes breaking the way of the Liberals'
Ken Wyatt. Wyatt has extended his lead over sitting MP Sharryn Jackson to 533
votes, giving the coalition hope it will finish poll counting with 73 seats. |
