Australia votes on Saturday.
The result will be very interesting, and most likely not what it was expected to be when the campaign period began.
Early voting and postal votes have already been cast but they won't be counted until after Saturday.
We could have minority government where one or other of the bigger parties are able to govern with the support of one or more minor parties of independents. My hunch, and that is all it is, is that the current government will be re-elected.

Thank you but I am not a Liberal fan so I was very disappointed. It will be the same old, same old, no improvement once again.

It looks just like the USA with near equal numbers of conservatives and liberals, with other parties and independents determining the temporary leaders.

Only 19 million voters. I am surprised, it looks so big on the maps.

Many people were not happy after the election and I was one of them but I voted and that was all I could do.
86% of the Liberal vote...
Mark Carney wins Liberal leadership by a landslide with 86% of votes

I'm still happy to see the final results as I know most Canadians are too.

This is what I read on the 86%....after rereading this looks to be leadership of the Liberal party....my mistake
