Gravscan, what's there to debate? The result is due next week (at the lastest) when Brisbane is declared.
Even BEFORE it is declared (for the Coalition) leaving the final count at 73 Coalition and 72+1 (Labor & Green) and 4 indeps; even Bob Brown has perceived the Coalition's drift towards the triggering of another election as stated on Lateline last night.
Why would Abbott favour another election if there are NO signs that Katter, Oakeshott and Windsor are just waiting for Brisbane to be declared to sign up with Labor?
Regarding your protest about no dairy farmers in the electorate of Katter, please do your homework on Google.
"Mr Katter?s long-standing feud with Warren Truss over the dairy industry deregulation continues to loom as a decider to which party Mr Katter?s bloc of three former National Party independents puts its support."
