Global Voices: Australia Still Waiting for a New Government

My latest roundup of Oz bloggers for Global Voices : Australia Still Waiting for a New Government:

A week after its election, Australia is waiting for a new government. Neither side won a majority of the 150 House of Representative seats. Though counting is still continuing, the likely result is:
72 Australian Labor Party, 73 Liberal/National Parties, 1 Greens, 4 Independents. The nation watches while negotiations take place to form a minority government.

Bloggers have been busy speculating not only on possible outcomes but also the reasons for the hung parliament.
