Mug, there is a lot of bravado on the left about a DD and how it will strengthen the hands of the minor and micro parties. I don't believe it and we don't have enough history to go by.
If the new senate plays ducks and drakes after Jul 1 the libs will have no option but to go for a DD. To do otherwise would be a fatal show of weakness.
Once forced to vote, those fabled "swinging voters" who DO decide winners and losers will ask who has forced this upon them and the greens, PUP and micro parties will spring to mind and be punished.
It is outlandish that this government will have had to sit and wait for 10 months before they can carry out their mandate.
