Apparently the double dissolution he called (against advice even from his own party) allows minor players to be elected with smaller numbers.

I sincerely hope that Malcolm does just get across the line, because I'd hate to see Labor having to make deals with the Hansonites to get legislation passed. Malcolm deserves it.

Hopefully, it will prove unworkable, and we'll get another election soon. And Labor will win!
