Australia votes: Smaller parties, independents increasingly making their presence felt
Australia heads to the polls tomorrow, with opinion polls suggesting a victory for the Labor Party. But that may depend on smaller parties and independent candidates supporting a minority government. History has shown it's never too late for parties to come from behind to snatch a surprise victory. Roger Maynard reports from the marginal Sydney seat of Parramatta, where there are no fewer than eight people putting their hands up for election. CNA's Loke Wei Sue also spoke with Mr Gordon Flake, the CEO of Perth USAsia Centre at the University of Western Australia.
