How much of a chance does Abbott actually have of winning the election?

Looks like there is a very good chance of a hung parliament. BTW When will election coverage start so we can tune in online?

Polls close at 6pm AEST, but you won't get meaningful results until after 7pm... which is 5am US EDT

Thanks. Smiley

What caused Gillard to gain back her footing in the last week of the campaign? It seemed like Abbott was gaining a lead until recently.

I think ABC might be opening theirs up later so ex-pats can watch. Not sure when and - anyway - I might be wrong.

ABC's website says Saturday evening they will stream globally in the evening, but I haven't seen anything live yet on their site.

ABC has just said that Morgan has conducted an exit poll of some sort, which suggests a 51/49 split to Labor and a hung parliament.

That would certainly be an interesting result. Of course a minority government for either party would be better than entering a coalition with the Greens.
