There will effectivley be a hung parlaiment if Abbott wins anyway as he wont have control of the upper house, not even remotley.

Good luck pulling a DD on the Australian people, they dont like pollies as it is, let alone pollies who want to make them vote again because they cant get along.

Abbott can whitewash labor next election but they wont get control of the senate so good luck scrapping a carbon tax and mining tax with the greens still holding the balance.

you mean like the vast majority of governments in Australia? Very few have had control of the senate and rely on negotiation for passage of their bills. How do you think Gillard got bills thru the senate? It largely wasn't as a result of Green support since they voted against almost everything.

So Liberals voted in the Carbon Tax.
Someones been sniffing the solvents again.

Abbott is going into an election offering himself up on a platter as a lame duck.

you can be such a buffoon. the Greens supported very little of Gillards legislation and she needed Abbotts support to pass them. The CT and Mining Tax were two notable exceptions. The complexities of English language and its explicit and implicit meanings does seem to elud you most of the time.
