The idea from former Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon which caught Tom Elliott’s attention

Former federal Labor MP and former defence minister, Joel Fitzgibbon, has come up with a “fascinating” idea in the case of a hung parliament at the next federal election.

Fitzgibbon thinks both Labor and Liberal parties should govern together in the event of a hung parliament, an idea which Tom Elliott thinks is a great one.

“This is a bit of a hail mary of course,” Fitzgibbon said on 3AW Mornings.
