G, hi....unfortunately far from finished.....many seats still undecided. Can take a long time, unlike elections here, as you know.
Seems Peter O'Neill being invited to see if he can form govt. (again), but not likely to be quickly settled. Quite a lot of disputations going on, likely to slow down the process. Two police shot in Highlands..... Situation fairly normal.

Julie Bishop said to have been keeping an Aust eye on the process but refraining from comment till results are clarified...naturally enough.

Don't think there will be any clarity on cabinet positions (Mines too of course) until the smoke (er dust) clears and a Govt is formed. If the past is any guide -and it will be- pork barrel and argy bargy will be the order of the days.

Regards.
