I appreciate your assessment nursery and I agree that Joyce seeks to hold more power in the coalition..... this much is self-evident.

I would add further possibilities, which does not include support for Labs by Greens as there is considerable animosity between the two parties. They disagree on many aspects of policy.
a majority coalition Gov..... unlikely as many Liberal supporters are moderates are very concerned wrt AGW. these erstwhile supporters are likely to vote "elsewhere" due to concern about the manipulations of both parties, the intransigence of both wrt emissions reductions with major members undermining the entire process and demanding zero reductions. Also M.s failings have been massive and have severely damaged the Liberal Brand.
hung parliament..... I agree has some degree of probability. Libs will be unlikely to attract non-aligned independents in the Reps to enable minority. they have a chance of gaining some credible support in the Senate but this won't help them form Gov.
hung parliament 2.0..... Labs might form loose alliance with Greens, to ensure supply, but won't be able to secure full coalition as Greens value their independence. Independent Reps MP will be likely to support Labs but with conditions. Haines, Steggall and Wilkie are particular because they are true centrists and won't tolerate strong socialist policies.
Lab majority?..... for me its hard to guess this as the election is likely to be fierce and assisted by Palmer..... he wants further mining extensions. I seriously doubt the ability of Labs to gain a majority due to the leadership of Albanese.

mainstream conservative politics is an oxymoron. there is nothing mainstream about conservative values just as there is nothing mainstream about communist values. they are both extremes and neither are attractive to centrist, moderate values which, in my reckoning, form the basis of swing voters, and it is this cohort that is the true battleground for winning the election convincingly.

Scott, an interesting development would be if moderates from liberal and labour actually talked with each other. They could easily get a majority and boot all the extreme nutjobs into the proverbial river.
