The saltwater croc
named Dirty Harry made his choice Thursday in his enclosure in the northern
city of Darwin when he snatched a chicken carcass dangling beneath a caricature
of Gillard. Opposition leader Tony Abbott's chicken was left hanging. Analysts
say Australia's elections Saturday could be the closest contest since 1961 when
a single seat decided who governed. The crocodile used a similar technique to
correctly predict that Spain would defeat the Netherlands in the World Cup last
month. He joined an octopus named Paul in Germany, said to have correctly
picked the winner for the final plus seven other games.
