It's a rather honest result, if you ask me. Australians gave neither victory because neither deserved it.

No you're not. While others say they don't want a hung parliament, I say HANG THE BASTARDS!!!

It doesn't mean I actually want them hanged, but I'm quite happy to see them suspended for a while.

Exactly. I am normally a Labor voter however this time I voted Greens because I felt the ALP treated me like an idiot with their campaign which was aimed at ignorant bogans.
