Wrong, The Nationals will extract every ounce of benefit they can get from the libs by playing hardball. If they decide to sit on the cross benches then whichever of the major parties can muster the greatest number of seats would form a minority government. which Party that will be Liberal or Labor is not yet decided. The likely outcome is that the Libs will cave in to the Nationals and offer the regions the royalties they are seeking and can then form a government with the support of the Nationals. The Nationals leader seems to be a very shrewd operator . In an election where the Nationals were supposed to be wiped out due to the one vote one value redistribution, they have in fact increased their vote and gained a seat. They will use their leverage in the interests of regional Western Australia not just the city and big business interests favoured by the Liberals.
