Looks like it's going to be a hung parliament

- NO job security? Rubbish. Unemployment rates were low during the scheme - tell me how that is meant to make Workchoices seem like the end of the world. You claim that Workchoices cost people their houses and mental health. I think you'll find that the world doesn't revolve around Labor's scare campaign. Doesn't it show huge desperation from Gillard that on election eve, she was back to her Workchoices rant as a way to falsely frighten people in to voting for her?

- The problem with BER IS the dodgy guys who rorted the scheme. The problem is that the government put together a policy so hastily (in an effort to appear like the good guys) that they didn't think it through. BER, insulation, cash hand-outs - all policies which saw millions of dollars wasted. Oh, and it wasn't just the dodgy builders. Who instructed someone to upgrade the buildings of the schools that were about to be demolished?

- I see you have failed to mention the insulation scheme. How convenient.

- school computers. Who ended up paying for it? The sums that Labor first put out were completely wrong. Are you seeing a pattern here?

- Super GP clinics. Again, another great sounding scheme, but in reality, of 3 of the 30 plus super clinics came through, and then another few hundred were promised. Where did these super doctors come from in the first place? And to move forward on this issue and tie it in with the NBN, it's great to say that they are working towards a certain goal, but if that goal is unachievable, what is the point of pretending it can be done?

- No means no? You're really going to hang your hat on a simple three-word phrase which a bunch of feminists jumped on? Dude, you're desperate. It would be so much easier if you admitted to won't vote Liberal because you don't like Speedos because really, your whole justification for doing so is hanging by a thin thread.

Can't all you anons let the friggin election go. Just wait until those beige public servants from the AEC have counted all the votes twice!

Big deal if your party hasn't won yet. Who gives a rat's what they have or haven't done and the could have / would have / should have. Why didn't you listen to Mark Latham and hand in a blank voting card?

Let's talk about more meaningful stuff, like basketball.......

Rudd was given the opportunity to contest the leadership but decided not to stand in the spill (he knew he would certainly lose), so Gillard was elected unopposed. The sinister thing about Rudd's deposition was the ruthless way the Labor factions were seen to have killed off a serving PM.

My leaning would be a minority Liberal government. Seems that both will have the same number of seats and my thoughts are the Green (Melbourne) will side with the ALP.

This leaves the independents who all non-city electorates who will probably lean towards Lib/NP.

Lots of promises for the bush I reckon.

Now if only Costello would come out of retirement...we could revive the team Abbott & Costello!

I think a hung Parliament is fitting for a fair few politicians
