The big risk is a bunch of politicians will win I guess.
OK ... lets get on with it.
Expectations
are that the current government will win the election. But its not as
if it'll be a landslide and the Opposition is in with a chance.
It doesn't really matter for the AUD which side wins, there shouldn't be much of an impact.
The
real risk is if neither sides manages to suck enough of us in to get a
majority - a hung parliament. And another risk is a big decline in votes
for the 2 major parties and a string of minor parties getting in
(particularly to the Upper House) and holding the balance of power.
Brexit, Trump ... developments like these are showing we can't take for
granted a vote for the status quo (and by that in Australia I mean
either of the two major parites, Tweetledum and Tweetledumber).
We should have a clearish picture of the broad result by late evening on Saturday (Australia time).
I've been a bit dismissive of the leaders of the two major parties,
perhaps unfairly. They have both put up a good fight for their
respective sides and good luck to them.
