Independents Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott have broken Australia's political deadlock by agreeing to back Julia Gillard in a Labor minority government.
After more than a fortnight of suspense, Mr Oakeshott and Mr Windsor today revealed their intention to give Labor their crucial votes, meaning it has secured the 76 seats needed to rule.
Two critical reasons given for their decision to support Labor were Climate Change and the National Broadband Network
Their decision followed that of Bob Katter, who earlier confirmed he would back the Coalition, putting it on 74 votes.
