Well Bill's called Malcolm and conceded, so Mal remains PM

Questiom remains will it be a majority or minority govt, without control of the Senate

Either way it's  a poor result for the coalition. Huge majority lost

Wonder how long before we go back to the polls again

Depends on how they determine which senators get 3 years and which get 6 years.

I understand you are just fishing for a response but...

Turnbull is going to need a lot of luck getting anything through the Senate.

Another election may be an option in 2 years, depending on how they allocate 3 or 6 Yr terms to the senate.

And may be an option if his right wing back benchers play up and he wants to establish a mandate.

See 1965's reply.

Going to very hard for stuff to get passed in the senate, govt doesn't have a  majority. It that too difficult for you to comprehend? You know all the stuff they couldnt get passed before, hence why we had this double dissolution election. They intend to try and get it all through again and most likely wont so....

... once the 2 year moratorium  is up expect Mal to call another election.

It really isn't it that difficult to understand

Shouldn't let your blind hatred of certain pollies cloud your understanding of how our parliament works

A new phrase is born: I just knew someone would find a name for Aussie election process.

ELECTILE DYSFUNCTION: The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for prime minister put forth by any party

"But the combination of a PM with no authority, a government with no direction and a Liberal Party at war with itself will see Australians back at the polls within the year," he said.

back we go again aye

That gives the LNP 76 seats and only one crossing the floor or by-election away from losing their majority. Good luck getting through the next 3 years, Malcolm.

AUSTRALIA has officially gone two years without people smugglers successfully bringing an ­illegal boat into the country.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton will this morning acknowledge the milestone at a border protection facility in Queensland.

The government’s uncompromising turnback policy has led to 28 boats being turned around, with 700 people on board, since Operation Sovereign Borders was implemented when the Coalition came to power in 2013.

Seventeen detention facilities have now been closed, all children moved from detention and nobody has died at sea during the operation.

It is stark contrast to the 50,000 people who arrived illegally on more than 800 boats during six years of Labor. More than 1200 people died at sea during the period while about 30,000 people from the legacy caseload are still being processed.
