This gives the Greens the balance of power. No surprises there.
The real surprise is the DLP, a conservative, religiously inspired pro-decentralization party which claims to be "neither 'Left' nor 'Right' as people usually understand those words in Australian politics". In reality, I consider them part of the mid to extreme right.
Their chief policies are:
* Opposition to abortion
* Opposition to euthanasia
* Opposition to embryonic stem cell research
* Opposition to same-sex marriage (includes stripping all marriage-like rights from de facto same sex couples and preventing artificial means of conception for these partners)
* Support for decentralizing power and resources
* Support for further armament of Australia
* Support for the choice of parents to raise children (as opposed to sending them to childcare facilities)
* Support for a citizen-initiated referendum
* Support for tougher restrictions on drugs and alcohol
* Support for taxation reform
