Both Johnny and Kev have had their spiels now - just your usual backslapping and the others a good bloke rhetoric.
A few key points from one of the Labour propaganda leaflets.
* Abolish the workchoices laws
* Ratify the Kyoto Protocol
* A national plan to rectify the public hospital fiasco
* Invest in trades training in secondary schools
* Implement a world class broadband network nation wide
I actually had John Howard ring me the other day - seriously.
Thought he was going to ask my advice but it was just one of those automated messages left on my home message bank :-P |

-Australia’s Labor sweeps to power in elections-
"50-year-old former diplomat Kevin Rudd beats Howard, a staunch U.S. ally"-
SYDNEY, Australia - Australia’s Labor Party swept into power at national elections on Saturday, propelling 50-year-old former diplomat Kevin Rudd into office on a wave of support for generational change.
The surge to Labor left conservative Prime Minister John Howard struggling to hold on to even his own parliamentary seat, which he has held since 1974, putting him in danger of becoming the first prime minister since 1929 to lose his constituency.
“We’ve all got goose bumps that finally we might have a leader who is passionate about fairness in this country,” Celeste Giese, 39, told Reuters at a football stadium in the northern city of Brisbane where Rudd was due to hold a victory party.
“Finally, after 11 years, it’s happening,” she said, as a large crowd gathered, many wearing T-shirts with Rudd’s election motto ’Kevin 07’.
New generation?
Rudd presented himself as a new generation leader compared with Howard, 68, promising to pull Australian combat troops out of Iraq and sign the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, further isolating Washington on both issues.
His message of new leadership attracted a swing of more than five percent across the nation from the previous election, locking in only the sixth change of government since World War Two.
The election was fought mainly on domestic issues, with Labor cashing in on anger at workplace laws and rising interest rates which put home owners under financial pressure at a time when Australia’s economy is booming.
Election analyst Antony Green predicted Labor would win at least 80 seats in the 150-seat parliament, giving it a clear majority in its own right for the first time since it lost power to Howard in 1996.
“The victory is starting to become more emphatic and the Labor Party is picking up seats way beyond the 5 percent swing required,” Green told Australian Broadcasting Corp. television.
The result will mean Labor is in power nationally and in all of Australia’s six states and two territories, with the lord mayor of the northern city of Brisbane now the senior ranking elected official in Howard’s Liberal Party.
Howard won four consecutive elections and was Australia’s second-longest serving prime minister behind Liberal Party founder Sir Robert Menzies. He had trailed in opinion polls all year.
-Staunch U.S. ally-
A staunch U.S. ally committed to keeping Australian troops in Iraq, he offered voters A$34 billion (US$29 billion) in tax cuts, but few new policies, instead highlighting his strong economic record and attacking Labor’s links to the trade union movement.
At a somber Liberal Party headquarters, party faithful were putting a brave face on the looming defeat.
“I just hope the public now gives John Howard some kudos for what he’s done over the years,” said David Bennett, a member of the Young Liberals, the youth wing of the Liberal Party.

I think many need to look outside the square box they live in. Nesara is quietly being moved into position as we speak, Australia may lead the annoucement, thats were I live in the the same electorate as Rudd, I have no policitical agenda to any party, I am here to assist with Nesara Law. The Federal Reserve worldwide that has had a hold on humanity with 'PUBIC DEBT' is sinking so fast, it is now close to collapse. The Euro has nothing nothing to do with Nesara, you can see no one wants the US Dollar, it's worthless and is finished. Nesara is next to be announced. I am personal part of the Nesara Law process that takes Earth Shan into the Age of Enlightenment. Everything will be explained on TV network broadcasts. Quoting: vee eight 321021
There is no "NESARA", YOU FUCKING JACKASSES ARE DANGEROUS. If you have your way you'll fool everyone into thinking the new money system the NWO puts in place will be different from the old, the only difference will be that the new system will be able to strip you of your prosperity more efficiently. |

Rudd also says he would withdraw Australia's 550 combat troops from Iraq, leaving twice that number in mostly security roles. Howard says all the troops will stay as long as needed.
Howard was one of U.S. President George W. Bush's staunchest allies, and reshaped Australia's image abroad with his unwavering support for Bush's war against terrorism.  |

So Ozz'ies what's the real deal here. About all I know is that he's been in Iraq, He shut down a major city to host Bush, the war time economy seems to be going well, and it seemed like there was a small crackdown on dissent (compared to the US). Is Labour winning akin to the US democrats: same destination different path? |

Thanks for the link to the Bennelong count (both posters who kindly provided it).
[link to vtr.aec.gov.au]
It is awfully close and the votes are only 77% counted. Nonetheless, some foreign papers are saying that Maxine has won Bennelong. I'd say wait and see and good luck to her! |

It is good to remove the troops from Iraq. Though they never had many problems it is simply not a place for westerners.
The one thing I did not see is any promises or talk on immigration. I know that most there are against immigration and there have been some restrictions put into place. I hope they cut down the number of immigrants and keep Australia safe. |

That's right. Because the 'presidential' model that John Coward proposed was bullshit.
It was never a question of whether Australians wanted the Queen. It was a question of the shonky model proposed. |
