Australias election showed no clear winner.
Australians may have to wait up to a week before they get to know who will be running their country in the first hung Parliament in 70 years.
Both Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott are said to be courting the minor independent parties who are now key to the Australian elections. Those consist of three former members of the National Party of Australia and one Green Party member.
As in Great Britain in May, Australia will have to cope with the Labour Party acting as a caretaker government until negotiations with those independents lead to a sufficient majority for either Labour or the Liberal coalition. However if the independents cannot be wooed, then another election may be called.
One of the three independent MPs, Rob Oakeshott, has already warned that it could take more than a week to finalise any negotiations with him and his fellow independent MPs and if that doesn’t happen, he is more than happy to return to the ballot box.
The consequences of having a hung parliament has already begun to take its toll on the Australian economy, with the dollar opening lower today. But observers say that even if a minority government is formed, it is unlikely to last.
For Australia, the only country to have escaped relatively unscathed by the recent global recession, a minority government is a nightmare. Businesses are less likely to invest in a country that has an unstable government and public confidence will drop. The fall of the Australian dollar today is just a sign of things to come.
For those wishing to migrate to Australia, the rules remain the same. The policies introduced by the DIAC in July still apply to those wanting to emigrate. It is uncertain however, how the political situation will affect the State Migration Plans (SMPs). There will be no changes to the immigration policy until a new government is sworn in.
Both Labour and the Liberal coalition have pledged to cut immigration numbers. That stance is unlikely to change following any deal with the independent parties. In fact immigration is not said to be a key negotiating factor.
What now follows for Australia is a period of uncertainty with the whole world’s eyes on the developing situation.

What democratic societies should learn lessen from Australia election 2010:
1. What productive action has PM Julia Gillard in office 100 days?
When inflation is a looming threat, with the nation’s CPI growing by 3.5 per cent year on year – a 22-month high – just last month.
When ultimately slow down the country’s growth and subsequently hose down the demand for Australian commodities.

Labor will not win in next states and federal election without a new direction to sooth voters broken heart, following a 70 years hung parliament eruption.
KARL Bitar has resigned as the ALP’s national secretary after strong internal criticism of his management of Labor’s 2010 election campaign.
The voters’ hearts broken not only anger the one or two in election conducted, if we take a look at the careless tested below an example of what our $1.65 millions spending each of Politician care for community development are liked?
It really should surprised to all communities very much when there was no one MP responds to such greatest health/economic development from previous two letters sent through to all MPs in nation wide.
This important step could be seen of a foundation work that in the possible exploration of opportunities in innovative health/economic convergence development for the mining depleted and aging Broken Hill, and Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobra, Ivanhoe and Wentworth surrounding communities to catch of:
“A healthy Las Vegas economy model” with capacity to by passes the 100 years old economical pattern of Las Vergas US if achieved?
This step of health/economic convergence development opportunities are by far the largest in national, and international significance if we have our innovative knowledge, elements, resource and supported by this land, people and government;
Again, what are innovative ideas of politicians, political parties, and governments have been in efficient, effective, and economical governance in their best efforts to enable communities to reach these goals?

Will you also believe there were only 1-2 Politicians responding to this greatest “Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy model”?
Why the most Politicians do fail their own test in support community health/economic development who with$1.65 million Tax payer’s money each annual spending for?

Why believe coalition economic plan works without revitalize agriculture and manufacture industries??
It’s all about power and money most Politicians and parties wanted above all and after all election?
Just listen how Barry O’Farrell convincing voters: “People are our asset. They are our greatest wealth and they should be given the opportunity to pursue their dreams?” On the issue of economic management, Mr O’Farrell was asked what he thought was the state’s greatest source of wealth, given NSW lacked a resources industry.

When we look at what today’s shrinking industries, such of agriculture (34% of fruit and 19% of vegetables imported); manufacture (10.5% by 2005–6) destructed by John Howard’s coalition government.
Will you then still believe Mr Barry O’Farrell’s coalition opposition announced positive and practical policies which will help revitalize agriculture and manufacture industries for create more sustainable jobs, and innovative export products?
Remember, it’s not one person to construct or destruct the whole lots of industries, it’s the matter of whole political party/government?
Will you also believe there were only 1-2 Politicians responding to this greatest “Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy model”?
Why the most Politicians do fail their own test in spend little brain work to revitalize agriculture and manufacture industries who with $1.65 million Tax payer’s money each annual spending for?

Why believe coalition committed to health reform without implementing the Preventive Health?
It’s all about power and money most Politicians and parties wanted above all and after all election?
Just listen how Barry O’Farrell convincing voters: “The key to our program is giving medical professionals a bigger say in how health services are delivered in their area. These are the people who know what their patients need…so we will be listening to them”.
Take a look below the link subject: “Time for Action” in “Healthy Active Life” program that convert Broken hill into a Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy? Link with http://www.streetcorner.com.au/news/showPost.cfm?bid=20747&mycomm=ES
… .
When we look at what Kevin Rudd’s labor government has expend John Howard’s coalition government endorsed Preventive Health program into “Healthy Active Life” program phase 1-2 before being oust, where the Preventive Health program has spent millions dollar in 5-6 years only produced a book for sale under coalition government.
Will you then still believe Mr Barry O’Farrell’s coalition opposition is committed to health reform (put some money in some hospital if you liked)? Then call it rebuild the hospital system through Better Hospitals and Healthcare program? The coalition opposition put it up simply as a truly health reform that would fix all health problems?
Will you also believe there were only 1-2 Politicians responding to this greatest “Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy model”?
Why the most Politicians do fail their own test in spend little brain work to come up some innovative idea that truly achieve the health reform materialized benefits to all voters?
