It looks like Labor has a better than even chance of forming a minority government. The Greens will surely side with them, leaving as few a two independents it needs to convince/bribe to support them. The Coalition would need something like 6.

And don't forget, the Nationals need to formally commit to the Coalition after the poll is decided. The concessions they will try to get out of a desperate Turnbull, should he get over the line, will be a sight to see.

Plus who will be Speaker?. It would be wonderful if there was another Slipper that Labor could convince to don the robes (and pocket the ridiculous $300k+).
