Currently, as of 1 September 2010, this question is still unresolved. Neither party has "won" as neither party has the required number of seats to form government. Counting of all postal votes has not yet finished, and the three Independents are yet to state their alliance with either major party.

Australia has Federal, State and Local governments. Assuming you mean the Federal Government the main party is the Australian Labor Party (ALP), but it governs with the support of some independents and an Australian Greens representative (members of parliament - MPs - in the House of Representatives, or Lower House) . The ALP do not have a majority in the Senate (Upper House) either.
