Gillard Remains Australian PM With Independents' Backing

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11209560

Julia Gillard has clung onto power in Australia by the narrowest of margins.

After weeks of negotiations, two of the three independent MPs decided to support Ms Gillard remaining as Prime Minister despite a strong showing by the opposition Liberal coalition.

However, with a majority of just one seat, it will be difficult for the Labor Party to govern entirely on their own terms and dictate the political agenda.

Julia Gillard has a tough road ahead of her.

I wouldn't bet against there being yet another general election in Australia within the next twelve months.
