Over the years, there has been much debate going on over what constitutes quality. Various disciplines have attempted to define the concept, and many have come up with their own definitions.

Australia went to the polls over the weekend following a double dissolution by the government of Malcolm Turnbull. But we will not know the result for some days yet as counting in tight seats continues. According to the BBC, 12 out of 150 lower house seats remain in doubt, with the counting of pre-poll, postal and absentee votes to resume on tomorrow.

Today we ask what dynamics underscored voting patterns and if the political uncertainties will damage Australia in the near future.
