Endgame
The last part of the game approaches rapidly. The campaign for control of the 44th Parliament begins and the public trust that Opposition Leader Abbott gained with difficulty he now holds with ease. On 7 September 2013 the nation votes and a leader sure of his strength and assured of his opponent’s disunity is elected Australia’s 28th Prime Minister. When Tony Abbott declares victory a Labor dream fades. But fortune is capricious and opportunity is given to some unlikely candidates, thus starting a new and potentially volatile political game.
