Aussie election lumbers towards hung parliament
Synopsis: Both the current ruling party, PM Julia Gillard's Labor Party, and the opposition coalition of the Liberal and National Parties are scrambling to get the few independents that would give them control of the lower chamber of the Aussie government.

With about 80 percent of the vote counted, Labor has 70 seats and the Liberal Party-led coalition has 72. There are 150 seats at stake. A hung parliament is a likely outcome.
