Antony Green predicts Coalition will win a majority government
ABC NEWS
The ABC election computer is predicting the Coalition has secured majority government with at least 77 seats, as the Liberals appear set to secure Bass, Chisholm, Boothby and Wentworth.
Labor held Bass, while Wentworthand Chisholm were in the hands of independents Kerryn Phelps and Julia Banks prior to the election.
"As far as I'm concerned, on the numbers to come, Bass will be the 76th seat. Postals and absent votes favour the Coalition in Bass and they're already ahead," ABC chief elections analyst Antony Green said.
"At some time today Bass will tick over to become the 76th seat, delivering the Government majority."

Green said he expected Chisholm would become the 77th seat, with Boothby and Wentworth already in the Liberal count.
"The Coalition have a certain 75," Green said.
"Bass will be 76 and Chisholm looks likely to be 77 and 78 is a possibility with Macquarie, but that is in doubt."

Liberal candidate Dave Sharma had been locked in a nail-biting, too-close-to-call contest with incumbent MP Dr Phelps for the second time in just seven months in Wentworth.
EXPERT ELECTION ANALYSIS:
Scott Morrison goes from accidental Prime Minister to homespun hero
What went wrong for Labor? These six towns might reveal some clues
With a 'miracle' result, Scott Morrison has the mandate to do whatever he likes — so what will it be?

But this time Mr Sharma looks to have prevailed in the seat once held by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, reclaiming the seat for the Liberals.
Dr Phelps conceded the election with about 80 per cent of votes counted.
She thanked her supporters, who she said believed in doing politics "differently".
"They believe that there was a sensible centre in Australian politics," she said.
"That it wasn't always about right and left, that it was about right and wrong."

In the South Australian seat of Boothby, Liberal candidate Nicolle Flint held off a 1.5 per cent swing against the Coalition to edge Labor's Nadia Clancy.
Ms Flint told Sky News she was not willing to declare victory yet despite saying Ms Clancy had called her to concede defeat.
"I'm a bit old-school, waiting for the Australian Electoral Commission to make that final determination and get through those 8,000 or so postal votes still to go," she said.
"They're not counting today, they're counting again tomorrow."
Of the seats in doubt, Labor is ahead in Cowan, Lilley and Macquarie — three seats the party currently holds.
With 84 per cent counted, Macquarie is the closest of those races, with Labor leading by about 300 votes.
Labor held Chisholm from 1998 until 2016, when then-Liberal Julia Banks won the seat — the only Liberal gain in that election.
She quit the party after Malcolm Turnbull lost the leadership and decided against re-contesting the seat as an independent.
Ms Banks instead ran as an independent in Flinders, Health Minister Greg Hunt's seat, but only attracted 14.6 per cent of first-preference votes.

this election shows that aussies are more concerned about bread and butter, as in economy and money rather than some climate issue which will affect the future but not now. just practical like you and me.
Climate change is nothing but a big con and even if it wasn't cuntries like OZ wouldn't make a scrap of difference to climate change even if they banned all carbon emitting entities entirely.
Here's why:

If the chinks are not playing ball the rest of the world is irrelevant.

my point is we need to be practical and vote for the party which can take the best care of our overall well being and we should not go against cos' of personal prejudice.
i know some cronies behave like thugs but i also know that the country is better with their masters in charge. there are already so much excitement globally, we do not need to create more uncertainty. besides, do you think s'pore will be really better with the oppies in charge, will there be no cronyism or abuse of power?? it will be the same, human nature breeds all kinds of bad characters, and then, they will be starting all over to get rid of these dubious characters again but now in the oppie camp.
