UPDATE: Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott have both backed the ALP.
Windsor based his decision mainly on the Labor Party's National Broadband Network policy.
Their decisions mean Labor can form a minority government in Australia with Julia Gillard as Prime Minister.

JULIA GILLARD DID NOT WIN THE ELECTION AND MOST OF ALL SHE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE PRIME MINISTER WITH LABOR HAVING SUCH A SHOCKING DISMAL APPALLING TRACK RECORD TO SAY THE LEAST 2 OF THE THREE AMIGOS HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN FOR THE TIME BEING BY A GIANT OCTUPUS KNOWN AS THE SPIN DOCTOR. WHAT WENT WRONG WAS THE 6000 ODD VOTERS THAT MADE AN ASS OF THE SYSTEM BY NOT CASTING THEIR VOTE TO START WITH AND IF THE 6000 ODD VOTERS THAT FAILED MISERABLY IN THEIR DUTY OF CARE WOULD HAVE CAST THEIR VOTE I AM SURE THAT THE OUT COME OF THIS ELECTION WOULD BE VERY VERY DIFFERENT WITH THE CO-ALLITION RETURNED TO POWER TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN DEED

Fearing that they might be 'knifed' in the back they chose to support the party that had already knifed their own democratically elected leader (Kevin Rudd) and had also called for an early election !!! Stability??? Full term ??? Such logic would only work in politics.

Why are people complaining about there was no democracy in this election... everyone got their vote the way they wanted and according to the constitution and voting/election rules and the outcome is as is. If the independent have sided with Liberals/Nationals it would be a democratic way, but this way it's not... clearly double standards... and for so many people living in Capitalistic society that have never lived or studied about Communism, to call this election a dictatorship and Communism is incorrect and so wrong.
People also bitch about now about Greens siding with Labour as if it's wrong... when Liberals and Nationals have done the same many years ago otherwise they would never be able to win an election... there is so much hypocrisy here...

Madam Gillard did not, repeat, did not win the election. What happened is the poor worn out labor party horse took a fit 5 metres before the post and was clinically dead. Three country hick dunces came over the fence, one knifed it and the other two resuscitated the damned thing, picked it up, and walked it past the post in the nick of time. But it has since died and and the two hick dunces are running the show after the race has ended. Work that out.May God spare us from it all as I'm sure the Atheist will not. So there

A black day for Australian democracy indeed. And so the utter labor party mess is perpetuated! Spare us from it all please, please God! Because the atheist will not!
