Hung parliament ‘quite likely’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor David Speers says while Labor remains the favourite to win the federal election, polls show a hung parliament is ‘quite likely.’\n\nThe latest Newspoll shows Labor maintaining its narrow 51-49 lead over the Coalition.\n\nIf replicated nationally on May 18, Labor would government in majority, winning 77 of the 159 lower house seats.\n\nHowever, the polls have narrowed in the government’s favour during the election campaign.\n\nMr Speers says despite this tightening, the Coalition ‘needs to do better’ if it is to win a third term in office.\n\nHe says the outcome remains ‘too close to call’, with the prospect neither party could secure the requisite 75 seats to govern without the support of independents.\n\n\n David_Speers Lol if you think that it'll be anything other than a whitewash, you're deluding yourself David_Speers What rubbish David_Speers I said this from the upset!

Money pumped into scare campaign around 'death taxes', but Labor says it's fake newsPoliticians are paying for widely shared sponsored posts on social media about so-called death taxes, despite Labor repeatedly stating the party will not introduce any such policy. It’s really sad seeing American politics and mimicked rhetoric have a destructive political influence on your beautiful country. Like carbon tax? Labor or GST Liberal? They’re all liars promising the Earth at the moment. Gillard Rudd Shorten stab stab stab. Abbott Turnbull Morrison stab stab stab. No one to vote for. Don’t forget, they ALL get $280 a day for expenses they pay to their partners. Nuff said. Ismthisnthe level you have reached An appalling baseless story in the weeks before the election, no doubt pushed as some sort of 'balance' The loss of the great ABC during this current government is something we will regret in the future. Vote a for a strong ABC!
