The Vote: ‘The last time I spoke to Morrison he told me to go get f—ed’

As the election tightens, there is a very real possibility that neither major party wins the 76-seat majority they need to govern in their own right.

If this happens, they will have to convince independents and minor party representatives in the lower house to join them and form a minority government.

For independents in this scenario, it’s an enormous choice – who do they support, what do they ask for, and who do they make prime minister?

Today, we speak to someone who has made that choice, former Independent Tony Windsor, on how to navigate a hung parliament and how Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese would act in those negotiations.

Guest: Former independent MP, Tony Windsor.
