Aug 26, 2010 SYDNEY, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Australia's opposition leader, Tony Abbott, denied accusations on Friday that he was manoeuvring to force the country back to the ballot box after general elections at the weekend delivered a hung parliament. "I think the public and Australia deserves an outcome from this election," Abbott told reporters. Earlier, Greens Senator Bob Brown voiced suspicions that Abbott would prefer a fresh election to negotiating with independent and Green MPs to form a minority government.
