b. Austria
c. Australia
d. UK

ANSWER: Australia
 
Australia was in political limbo following failure of voters to hand PM Malcolm Turnbull a second win, and the nation is instead facing the prospect of a hung parliament.
  • Turnbull was the country’s fourth leader and a former banker
  • Majority coalition government will be returned at this election when counting is completed
  • The aim is to work constructively and effectively with all members of the new Parliament, according to Turnbull
  • Following polls, Liberal/National coalition had 65 seats to Labor’s 67 the Greens one and independents four, according to results shown.
  • This left 13 seats too close with the call with 76 needed to rule the 150 seat House of Representatives.
