Australia Votes
And apparently they aren’t happy with either major party.
You need 76 seats in the parliament for a majority, and it doesn’t look like either party will manage to win that. There are 5 seats, four won by independents and one taken by the Green party that would seem to hold the balance.
It is possible they will have to have another election, but even if someone forms a government, it probably won’t last long.

Invest 95
Satellite images indicate that showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure area located about 550 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands have become much better organized during the past few hours. Environmental conditions are favorable for a tropical depression to form during the next day or so as the low moves west-northwestward at 5 to 10 mph. There is a high chance – 60 percent – of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
