Hung Parliament: Australia’s headache

TheAustralianPost.com --- Hung Parliament Election 2010!

Australians woke up with buzz in the ears from radio, television, internet and newspapers the word: Hung Parliament. To some this was a new word, hearing it for the first time. Some have heard it once few months ago during the UK election. And for some voters who knew about the hung parliaments was not what they have voted for. But for Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard hung parliament is another leadership campaign, the campaign of campaign.
Abbot and Gillard camp cannot form the government without the support of independent MPs. So for Abbot and Gillard to win the support of independent and minority MPs to form their government is like campaigning to win another Federal Election 2010 version 2.0 or campaigning two-election campaign (2010 and 2014) within a week. This could be more challenging than their first federal election campaign, which resulted on hung parliament when the nation went to cast their votes on Saturday the 21st of August 2010.
But the worst is for the general Australian public themselves. Hung parliament means rule of the minority government, the government that they did not vote for. Weak government which also means weak policies and compromises, weak economy, employment, rate increase and many more to follow for at least three future years of Australia which are ahead of us. Unless miracle happens!
