Conservative Victory?

In an election of 123 new Representatives and 60 new Senators, 5,000,000 Australians turned out to vote last week.

Result: in the House of Representatives, a slight reduction of the government's solid majority; in the Senate (count incomplete at week's end), a possible stalemate.
