What the Liberal Party does next is important to them and irrelevant to Australia. They attracted the lowest ever primary vote for a ‘major party’ since 1943. They have their fewest members of House of Representatives since 1946 (when there were half as many seats to win).

It’s 4.30am when two grey-haired women pick their way by torchlight across the logging coupe in New South Wales’s Bulga State Forest.

Beyond the deals that will be needed to form Australia’s next government, the outcome of this federal election will be determined by a wildcard influence from outside our politics – the Trump presidency There was a time when the leaders of Australia’s Labor and Liberal parties refused to entertain the question of minority government, and no one seemed to mind. It was just about the final taboo in our politics, and it relied on the assumption that Australians crave stability above all else.
