Some of you may have observed that an Australian politician has just turned a huge majority into a rout and produce a hung parliament and he did this by arrogantly attacking the structure of the Senate and using a constitutional tool designed to break deadlocks, a double dissolution, to call an early election. His gamble has failed. Not only will he continue to face a virilent, resurgent, opposition, but he will have a Senate with well organised independent groups including the resurgent, far right, One Nation. Australia has once again become ungovernable and it is a consequence of arrogance. Last night he slunk from his residence at midnight to address the nation. He could not claim a victory, he could not admit defeat, he has not resigned. Oh, what will he do? This silver tailed turncoat.
The incoming parliament doesn't even have a Budget to guide them, the Budget handed down three days before the election has not passed or even been put to a vote, I feel the ghost of 1975 stalks the halls of parliament agai
