Description

Text above reads 'Darwin's "Harry the crocodile" picks a Gillard win in the Australia election - News.' Two men sit on rocks in the bush having a cup of tea and one of them says that according to bush telegraph, Danny the Wombat predicts an Abbott victory and Nigel the kookaburra is betting on a hung parliament. He makes fun of a trend that started with the octopus which predicted winners in the World Soccer Cup and continues with 'Harry the crocodile'. The Australian election held 21st August resulted in a hung parliament; Australians now wait for the end of vote-counting that will decide the outcome - neither party has captured the 76 seats needed to form a majority government.
