The take home message of that: settle in for a wild ride. I don't think this one can be called or predicted.
Sure the Coalition can win. But as I mentioned on Radio National's Sunday Extra program, Tony Abbott is a bad campaigner and likely to run out of puff. How much Abbott collapses (and/or the Liberal team copes with or has pre-planned for that) may have a lot to do with whether the result is a Coalition win, Labor win, or my personal preference of another hung parliament.
Or, it may not matter at all.
