Both coalition and Labor have 72 seats. There are 150 in the house of representatives, thus no absolute majority for the first time since 1940, when we were in the middle of a war. Then the independents switched to Labor, and John Curtin was prime minister till 1945.
Either the independents back one side or the other, or we hold another election, or something weird happens.
Probably take at least to the end of the week to see what happens. I don't favour another election because they're a nuisance, even more people would thus vote informal, and we could just end up at square one again anyway.
