I'm not really into politics but I thought it might be better if we discuss it here rather than clogging up other threads.

And as @Bazal said Billy boy Shorten is locked in the closet and if he stays there I reckon its labour's best chance at winning the election.

Make sure you get out and vote everyone. Unless you're an irresponsible piece of shit who only votes because you're forced to by law.

What about irresponsible pieces of shit who are planning to vote solely for the party that will make their own lives easier because both options are appalling?

Wait, that's just politics isn't it...?

I think the election will be a tighter than expected.

#fakenews.
If the News Polls are fake news, then that's interesting as they are published by NewsCorp Murdoch is going hard in every newspaper against labor. They were even handing the Tele out for free this morning in Warringah.

"Closer than expected" means SFA if ScoMo can't form a government.

I wonder if they need the support of the cross bench, who they will support ?

Bandt and Wilkie will support Labor, Katter will support Liberal/National, Sharkie most probably Liberal/National. You'd hope Oakeshot will have learnt his lesson and work out supporting Labor in a previously held National Party seat is a career limiting decision, you'd expect any potential Shooters and Fishers to probably take into consideration the same thing. I'd expect Indi to revert back to Coalition, same probably with Wentworth.

Yet then we had the Migration Amendment (Urgent Medical Treatment) Bill [aka Medivac] which was supported the cross bench, much to the dispair of ScoMo and Dutton.

Well Independents are free to vote for what they like on any given legislation. Hence why they're called Independents I guess. On the opposite side of the scale, Labor would never vote for the Coalition to form Government, but they vote with them plenty of times on various legislation.

I was referring to who they would choose to form a Government only, which is what I thought the premise of your question was.
