豪総選挙、与野党過半数割れ
8月21日に投開票されたオーストラリア下院の総選挙で、与党・労働党、野党・保守連合とも過半数割れが確実となり、両陣営は政権獲得に向け多数派工作に動き出した。
Australian parties seek backing of independents
Leaders of Australia's two major political parties lobbied for support from independent lawmakers to stitch together the nation's first minority government since World War II after the closest elections in almost 50 years.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Australia's first female prime minister who seized power in an internal Labor Party coup only two months ago, said Aug. 21 she will remain the nation's caretaker leader during the "anxious days ahead'' as vote counting continues.
Both Gillard and Liberal leader Tony Abbott have initiated talks with three independents in the House of Representatives, as well as The Greens party, in a bid to secure votes in the House of Representatives. (AP)
