MORE than one in 10 voters would have voted differently had they known Australia was headed towards a hung parliament, according to a new poll.

The nationwide poll of 1000 voters was conducted from Friday to Sunday for the public affairs company Ogilvy Illumination and came at the end of a week without any indication as to who would govern Australia.

It found that 13 per cent of voters would change their vote if they went to the polls again.

This, the pollster said, would be ''more than enough to result in a substantially changed federal parliament were Australians to be called back to the polls in the near future''.
