Well the good news out of election night, the greens will loose control of the senate.
From
http://www.abc.net.au/news/federal-election-2013/results/senate/
Liberal/National Party 16 17 33
Australian Labor Party 13 12 25
Australian Greens 6 4 10
Democratic Labour Party 1 0 1
Others 0 7 7
So a combined labour green vote of 35 votes will not be sufficient to block legislation.
Two of the micro parties:
Liberal Democratic Party and Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party are pro-less regulation, less government interference etc.
Nick XENOPHON has stated that he is prepared to get rid of penalty rates for small businesses (hopefully he can be convinced to increase this to medium sized businesses as well).
Family first worked well with liberal before, so should be able to work well again.
Interesting times ahead, but those pesky greens are gone from dictating Australian politics.
Overall good result for Australia
