Sheldon and BRAD: Live Election Updates
Saturday, November 24th, 2007
5:17PM - Sheldon - Ok, I’m up and running here… hopefully Brad will join me soon. Let’s go!
5:20PM - Sheldon - Stalling is rife at the moment. I’m watching the ABC as I refuse to watch the crap coverage that the commercial channels are putting on. Make sure you look at the AEC website for live updates.
5:23PM - Sheldon - I’m very tempted to make jokes about calling seats after 0.0007% of the vote counted but I’m withholding. I did use it with one of the people I was chatting with online so maybe I’ve got it out of my system.
5:25PM - Sheldon - I’ve picked up a subtle trend… I think, *I think*, Queensland is going to be important. That’s high level political analysis right there.
5:28PM - Sheldon - Julia is talking about Braddon after 200 or so votes counted due to a swing to Labor. I really should have had a few drinks and started updating 30 minutes later when there’s some actual results.
5:33PM - Sheldon - They are talking about what Costello is doing after the election loss when there’s less than one percent of the vote counted in most seats. I think they’re not going far enough, they should be talking about the election in 20 years. I thinking this will be Downer’s time.
5:39PM - Sheldon - Swings everywhere to everyone. Guess which party is getting most of them? I think Bass is holding up ok early for the Liberals but swings against the government in most central NSW seats. I’ll go into more details when there’s greater numbers.
5:43PM - Sheldon - Interview with Craig from the Chaser. Wasn’t hugely funny to be honest but it’s hard to be in a quick interview.
5:45PM - Sheldon - Bennelong very, very, very early. Figures suggesting that there’s a 10% swing to McEwen and the tally room has gone up in applause. Hah, will be interesting to see a little later.
5:50PM - Sheldon - I hate candidate interviews on election night. Who cares what they say now? It’s only interesting if there’s a Kernot level blowup otherwise it’s incredibly dull and tedious. Bass is close but Labor ahead. Would be good effort if Liberals held on.
5:55PM - Sheldon - Tasmania Update - Libs ahead in Bass, Franklin, Braddon two-party. They’d be happy there. First counts from Mayo in South Australia, future Prime Minister Downer well ahead.
6:00PM - Sheldon - Wentworth early - Turnball leading. Very, very early.
6:01PM - Sheldon - Looks like it might all come down to Queensland. I hear it’s the key.
6:04PM - Sheldon - Franklin and Braddon turning against Liberals.
6:08PM - Sheldon - Libs down in Eden-Monaro. Sorry, I probably won’t mention every seat as it’s hard enough keeping up as it is. Early feeling is: little hard to tell… swings to Labor but not sure if it will be enough.
6:10PM - Sheldon - Just to talk about a Labor seat where the Libs are ahead, Isaacs ahead after 6%. Nationals struggling in Page. Geeze, the ABC care alot about their graphics… it’s the ABC I guess, they need to get to their money’s worth
6:15PM - Sheldon - Labor ahead in Bennelong after 3.7%. The tally room goes up every time after the ABC covers it.
6:18PM - BRAD - Im back from the polling booth. MSN isn’t working get on MIRC irc.freenode.com #pollbludger
6:20PM - Sheldon - Lift your work rate man, I’m working my ass off here!
6:22PM - Sheldon - Join #donkeyvote
6:23PM - Sheldon - Libs now behind in Bass
6:26PM - BRAD - I’m been busy campaigning. Just got back and sorted out some communicardo with Sheldon. Looks like a tough bloody battle at the moment. Labor national swing seems to be increasing as votes are counted. Was 4.7% now according to the ABC website it is 5.2%.
6:28PM - BRAD - In Bennelong Maxine McKew leads John Howard in his own seat. 47.29% Primary to Howard’s 42.69%… Stunning stuff.
6:30PM - BRAD - ALP’s Mike Kelly looks poised to win Eden Monaro 51.0% TPP to 48.95%. Remember this is the so called bellweather seat and it looks like it’s going to Labor but it is still very close!
6:34PM - Sheldon - Early country Queensland seats in so it shouldn’t be too long till we get some polling of the more interesting Queensland seats.
6:36PM - Sheldon - Bass very close. Libs ahead by a percent or so on two party.
6:38PM - Sheldon - Tally room going nuts. No idea why. Maybe they’ve started passing out the coke. Swing against Howard of 6%. Might it happen?
6:42PM - BRAD - Looking forward to those Queensland votes coming in.
6:44PM - BRAD - Queensland results slowing starting to come in, fashionably late. Don’t you love daylight savings?!
6:47PM - BRAD - Got some results for QLD, looking at Petrie and Bonner. Looking good early for Labor. I’ll let Sheldon focus on Petrie. Petrie would be a great scalp for the ALP. I’m still waiting for results for Forde and Rainken.
6:50PM - Sheldon - Turnbull is doing well… his rebel ways seems to have paid off. Bass keeps changing hands every time I look at it, could come down to postals I think there.
6:53PM - Sheldon - Eden-Monaro looks gone for the Libs, Howard is gone. I think.
6:55PM - Sheldon - Swings to Labor in Queensland. I think Labor are ahead on the marginals they were targetting in early figures. Looks like Labor are looking good for the win here.
6:56PM - BRAD - Looks like Bennelong is tightening. Might have to put my fantasy of Howard losing his seat on ice. ALP Primary 45.28% LIB Howard 44.93%. Riveting stuff!
7:00PM - BRAD - Blair QLD. Labor ahead 51.97%-48.03% - 7.66% swing.
7:05PM - BRAD - Shit check out Forde QLD. My redneck electorate. Only 164 votes in. Nationals 35.03% Liberals 36.94% ALP 15.92%.
7:07PM - Sheldon - Still learning how to count in your electorate Brad? My electorate is close at this point… 1% difference in two party. Only 100 votes difference in primary. Very early though.
7:10PM - Sheldon - Labor pulling ahead again in Bennelong. I do think that postals will help Howard though, so Labor would want to be ahead by the end of the night to have a chance of victory.
7:13PM - Sheldon - 6.3% swing to Labor in Queensland apparently according to Anthony Green. He’s given a prediction of Labor victory by 14 or so seats.
7:15PM - Sheldon - Labor are definitely looking good. Green says 14 seats to Labor at this point. Might want to wait a little longer for concrete figures.
7:16PM - BRAD - Mal Brough in trouble in Longman. Jon Sullivan ALP is ahead 53.10% TPP. A swing of 9.85%. That’s a big scalp!
7:20PM - BRAD - Up north in Leichhardt. Libs in trouble. 13.59% Swing to ALP! ALP’s Jim Turnour 53.33% TPP.
7:22PM -BRAD - I spent the day at a polling booth spreading the good word in Rankin and Forde. Brought home a 20metre long Kevin Rudd sign.
7:23PM - BRAD - YES GO FORDE! Brett Raguse for the ALP 55.32% TPP only 3 booths in. 16.84% swing. Only 1.6% of the vote, but I am willing to claim victory…. *crosses fingers*
7:27PM - Sheldon - Time to plug a friend of mine who’s running for the LDP in Griffith, Samantha Myers. She’s currently sitting on 22 votes. She’s currently beating the Socialist Alliance by 2 votes to miss out on last place. I’m hoping she can do the job there.
7:30PM - Sheldon - ABC saying that 76 seats to Labor so that’s it but that’s not final. So looks like Labor are just about in. Howard still struggling in Bennelong
7:33PM - Sheldon - ABC now saying 75. Who knows? Turnbull has retained I think.
7:35PM - Sheldon - Now 77 so I’m going to stop talking about it.
7:37PM - BRAD- Going to order a pizza. Keeping an eye on Bennelong. It’s so close it may come down to Coalition weighed postals.
7:40PM - BRAD - News at hand is that Kevin Rudd is headed to Lang Park. How appropriate.
7:41PM - BRAD - ALP ahead in Forde 54.77% TPP.
7:45PM - BRAD - Chanting JULIA JULIA JULIA in the ABC tally room. The noise is amazing. Definitely a populist victory to the ALP!
7:45PM - BRAD - Kerry O’Brien slips up on Bennelong saying there is a swing to the ABC. HAHAHA. The truth is out!
7:46PM - BRAD - Bennelong looks like it will go down to the wire. A grand stand finish for sure. Morton figures, 54.84% TPP to ALP. Swing 7.67%.
7:48PM - Sheldon - Petrie is interesting, Gambaro has come back and she was leading when I looked last time but now Labor is ahead. Might go down to the wire there.
7:50PM - Sheldon - Griffith update… my friend looks to be coming last with 63 votes behind the Socialist Alliance at 102. Bad luck there for her…
7:52PM - Sheldon - Forde update for Brad… Labor look well ahead there 52.05 to 47.95 on two party on 10% of the vote. Can they count any slower there?
7:56PM - Sheldon - Leichhardt well gone.
7:57PM - BRAD - This is the greatest day of my life.
7:58PM - BRAD - Wow ALP look well ahead in Forde. All my bumper stickers have done the trick! Now I can start driving hazardly again.
7:59PM - BRAD - Yea well your friend is part of a really crap party. And I mean that in way of policy. The LDP have ridiculous policies. They have pretty much policised everything I hate. They want Work Choices to go further…like Work Choices ULTRA. Sucked in I say, suck.
8:00PM - BRAD - Petrie leaning towards Labor. Honestly I never expected it possible to win both Forde and Petrie!
8:01PM - BRAD - Hasn’t this made Queensland look awesome. We come in with the big pro Labor schwing and save the day.
8:02PM - BRAD - Let’s take a look at Bennelong. ALP looking a bit healthier. Leading exactly by 1,000 on primaries. 28,611- 27,611. ALP up TPP 51.14%.
Win or lose, well done Maxine!
8:05PM - BRAD - Big surge for Greens votes. In excess of 7%.
8:06PM - BRAD - I can’t believe it Rudd and Labor will govern Australia! I’m so excited after so many years of kicking rocks around feeling sorry for the nation.
8:08PM - Sheldon - Yep, it’s a Labor government. I’m disappointed because I was hoping that a Coalition win would drive Brad over the edge.
8:10PM - Sheldon - Good effort by Maxine, any time that a PM loses his seat is a good effort. I’m thinking even the postal votes won’t save Howard now.
8:12PM - Sheldon - Petrie looks gone now.
8:14PM - Sheldon - Geeze, they are getting stuck into Nicole Cornes after she didn’t win her seat. She had a terrible campaign but it sounds very petty to be treating her like that.
8:16PM - Sheldon - Oh a Mckew interview coming back. You’ll be lucky to hear anything over the cheering I’d imagine.
8:21PM - Sheldon - WA Update - Libs holding on in Cowan, ahead in Swan and just behind in Hasluck. The Libs would have to be happy about that.
8:26PM - BRAD - At Bennelong at McKew HQ its pandemonium!!! Media crush. This is incredible. McKew the giant killer! Looks hard for Howard to claw back. Labor Hero! MAXINE MAXINE MAXINE! Original Queensland too! Got to love those Queenslanders!
8:28PM - Sheldon - Apparently I have to cover things as Brad is soaking up the atmosphere.
8:30PM - Sheldon - Maxine is being treated as a God by the Labor supporters. Rightly so arguably.
8:32PM - Sheldon - You can tell Maxine is from the media because this is really a good speech, it’s corny but it’s just the kind of speech that works with crowds that are primed and excited.
8:34PM - Sheldon - Will be interesting to see if she can get up… could be the start of high flying career.
8:36PM - Sheldon - ABC saying - ALP 81, Lib/Nats 57, Other 2, Doubt 10
8:38PM - Sheldon - Turnbull giving a victory speech. Usually kind of stuff. I’m getting speeched out I think. Good effort for him to get up although the margin wasn’t indicative of the true support considering the Peter King factor.
8:40PM - BRAD - Forde the biggest swinging seat. 14.5% to ALP. That’s my humble seat. I’m taking partial credit for the stunning victory.
8:41PM - BRAD - All the boxes look to be ticked. ALP win nationally, big Queensland swing, Petrie and Forde to fall to Labor and Maxine taking Howard’s head. YES!
8:43PM - BRAD - Soon we will see Howard conceding and my pizza will arrive.
8:45PM - BRAD - This is like a footy game, new years eve. It’s a party across Australia!
8:46PM - BRAD - Howard looking like he is up shit creek. 51.15% to Maxine McKew TPP. I’m claiming it. It’s a Labor seat.
8:47PM - BRAD - Still waiting for the Senate figures…
8:47PM - BRAD - I’m glad we won. If we lost, I wanted to either go into exile or put myself out of my misery. Certainly one of the reason Sheldon was so pro Coalition, he hates me. He loves to see me in misery.
8:48PM - Sheldon - That’s very true. Only reason I’m in this game… see Brad in pain. Ahh well, maybe next time. Looks like the Greens polled well in the Senate. I’d like to make a joke there about that I’m running dry at this point.
8:50PM - Sheldon - I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of the Greens now. I could stand the Democrats but the Greens just irritate me. But now is not the time for my political rants.
8:52PM - Sheldon - I should make another Anthony Green joke before the chance is lost until the next election. But they have basically froze him out for the last hour or so. Quick, quick… got to think of something.
8:54PM - Sheldon - My friend has managed 128 votes in Griffith and hasn’t managed to catch the Socialist Alliance with 227 votes. Oh well, I still love you Sam.
8:56PM - Sheldon - The night seems to be running down. The main things to wait for tonight is Howard’s conceding and Rudd’s victory speech. I might let Brad handle these two speeches as I’m sure he’ll have a great deal of satisfaction from it.
9:05PM - BRAD - I’m not sorry for you Sam, your party the LDP and policies are shithouse and aren’t fit to line my bird cage. Sucked in.
9:06PM - BRAD - Yea I’ll try and cover the speeches but it’ll be tough cause I’m pretty smashed at the moment. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…. It’s gonna be great having a Prime Minister and a Treasurer rattling around in Brisbane. I’ve waited 11 years for this, of bitter disappointment and misery. Now it’s pay back time.
9:07PM - BRAD - I’m starting to wonder what the ALP cabinet will be. We should start trying to speculate on that.
9:08PM - BRAD - John Howard has left Kirribilli House to the Wenthworth Hotel to concede defeat, get ready for the BEST television ever….
9:10PM - BRAD - John Howard concedes to Kevin Rudd. Speech on the way. This is too good to be true!
9:11PM - BRAD - It’s pissing down raining here atm. Maybe Kevin can break the drought as well. It’s a brand new Australia, everything we loved of the old Australia, all the fair go values but with a new vision for the future.
9:11PM - BRAD - Reckon he will still do morning walks?
9:13PM - BRAD - I don’t know about you but I’m into the alceehole. Party up guys!
9:14PM - BRAD - Looks like Coalition might pick up two but lose one in WA.
9:15PM - BRAD - Jason Young for the ALP holding on to Bowman. 50.28% to the ALP.
9:16PM - BRAD - Still waiting on Johnny Howard to turn up. Even if he wins Bennelong, will he stay? Or force a by election? Interesting.
9:20PM - Sheldon - Senate elected info according to the ABC website - NSW - 3 Labor 2 Liberal 1 National, Vic - 3 Liberal 2 Labor 1 Green, QLD - 3 Labor 2 Liberal 1 National, WA - Not enough votes in yet, SA - 2 Labor 2 Liberal 1 Green 1 Independent (Nick Xenophon), Tas - 3 Labor 2 Liberal 1 Greens, ACT - 1 Labor 1 Liberal, NT - 1 Labor, 1 CLP
9:27PM - Sheldon - Costello looks fairly happy. I guess he thinks Howard is gone.
9:29PM - Sheldon - Probably the most relaxed I’ve seen him for a while actually. I guess there’s a sense that the pressure is all off now. Bit like me waiting for this election to be over.
9:31PM - Sheldon - Brad, we need to grab a bourbon together at some point to celebrate a project we’ve actually finished together.
9:33PM - Sheldon - So Turnbull versus Costello for the leadership of the Liberal Party? I’m sorry, I’m not taking in his speech particularly at this point. Cliched out I am.
9:36PM - Sheldon - Howard is conceding. Eleven years of Coalition government at it’s end. End of an era, one way or another.
9:42PM - Sheldon - Fairly upbeat speech really in the circumstances. He seems like he’s getting abit emotional about it as you probably would be. He certainly created a love-hate relationship with the Australian public. Just reading some of the responses now , some people certainly really hated Howard. It’s funny how people seem to take it all so personally.
9:44PM - Sheldon - Only one thing left for the night to be complete and that’s Rudd’s victory speech. Hopefully Brad can pull himself out of his drunken celebration coma to give a report on it all.
9:47PM - Sheldon - Howard has a sense of humour when he wants to use it.
9:54PM - BRAD - I’m back, I’m back! You can’t blame me for disappearing and enjoying the moment. I’m geared up for Rudd’s victory speech. The people are going to go nuts, it is going to eclipse all the rest of the noise pollution we have heard tonight so far put together.
9:57PM - BRAD - Julia Gillard on the ABC’s panel just got a call. Could Rudd be ready for his speech?
9:58PM - BRAD - Just had to put my third DVD in. I’ve got all the election for keeps.
9:59PM - BRAD - We’ll have to have go for drinks to celebrate the Donkey Vote website. It’s been a great success, far better than I dreamed. It has been a lot of fun too.
10:00PM - BRAD - My happiness has gone down a few grades now that I remembered I still have four outstanding assignments. But I’m committed to not going down like Howard and then spending the next three months playing Super Mario Galaxy on Nintendo Wii.
10:02PM - BRAD - Anyone know what the total swing in Queensland was? Still waiting for his Ruddness. Apparently Queensland Premier Anna Bligh will introduce our new Queensland Prime Minister.
10:04PM - Sheldon - Do your own research Brad. And this project has been alot of fun and I hope everyone who’s read us at some point has enjoyed our stuff. And to finish the night off, here is Kevin Rudd the new Prime Minister.
10:07PM - Sheldon - Ruddy’s got more class than alot of his supporters. Got to appreciate that.
10:10PM - Sheldon - He’s a good public speaker, even if he does come out looking a little like a school prefect. Personally I thought he’d struggle to win over the electorate when he became leader because I thought he’d be too much of an intellectual for the average Australian. I guess that I’ll have to eat my words on that one.
10:13PM - Sheldon - Labor has been historically unlucky in coming to power when the global economy has been in a downturn, it’ll be interesting to see whether this is the case this time with the rise in interest rates. To be honest, they are probably due some better luck.
10:16PM - Sheldon - It’s certainly a new era and I wonder whether it will be very different from the old new era. I guess we’ll all see together.
10:19PM - Sheldon - He’s working the crowd well.
10:27PM - Sheldon - And so this is just about the end of an era here on thedonkeyvote.com as well. We’ve been with you six weeks and had some laughs and made some insightful political comments. I have also have to say, personally, that I’ve learnt alot about the political system just from covering the stories. It’s been fun and it’s been hard work at times. I’m sure we’ll still be around in some aspect in the future. We still have a few loose ends to tie up in the next few days.
10:30PM - Sheldon - ABC Elections are saying 83 to Labor, 53 to Coalition, 2 Independent, 7 In Doubt
10:34PM - Sheldon - Brad do a summing up post so I can relax and do something else. In any case, it’s good night for me. Hope you Laborites enjoyed the night and that you Libs and Nats are at least getting drunk and having fun that way. If you’re from the Greens you’re too stoned to care and if you’re a Democrat… well, that would be very unlikely. Night all!
10:48PM - BRAD - See ya Sheldon, it’s been a wild ride!
10:49PM - BRAD - I thought Kevin’s speech was great and he was a good sportsman to Howard. Nice to see Brisbane being the centre of power with Gillard flying up here to be with the rest of the team to plan the future of Australia.
10:51PM - BRAD - I am starting to worry about the state of the Senate, everyone is going on about the House of Reps but atm the Senate is looking like this….
COALIATION = 37
LABOR = 32
GREENS = 5
FAMILY FIRST = 1 (WHO VOTED FOR THEM?!)
IND = 1
10:52PM - BRAD - Woohoo…Bronwhyn Bishop has been returned. Just watching the Call of the Board on the ABC now.
11:00PM - BRAD - Call of the Board for QLD. Swing of 7.8%.
11:29PM - BRAD - Well Sheldon the lightweight may have sooked off to bed at the early hour of 10:30PM but I’ll be sticking with you until I pass out giving you up to date election coverage. Attention is now turning to the Senate and the Labor cabinet. Television coverage has finalised but SKY NEWS is soldiering on and will continue to do so on and off.
11:33PM - BRAD - Now things are quieting down I might read Sheldon’s last proper blog entry, then make some phone calls to some ALP buddies and share the joy.
11:38PM - BRAD - I am damn impressed with our effort. Our live coverage has been going for 6 hours. I really wanted to do some live broadcasts and videos but I’m pretty crippled without broadband and me and Sheldon live like 100km away from each other when we used to only live a few minutes away.
11:40PM - BRAD - I don’t know about Sheldon but I don’t think The Donkey Vote will be disappearing. I think we have served an apprenticeship and we might go on to cover the new parliament and coast along until the next Federal election. We will never be a pollbludger or ozpolitics or a chaser but we might find some middle group. The war on each other will continue either way!
11:42PM - BRAD - Got a lot of talk at the moment about a possible double disalution of parliament. We will have to see how the Senate pans out and how the votes go. I think we will be okay.
11:42PM - BRAD - I don’t think people should be hard on John Howard. A lot of people say he should have moved on earlier, but I don’t think it would have changed the end result much at all.
11:52PM - BRAD - Funniest thing was definitely the Chaser team with Chas infiltrating the Liberals function at the Wentworth Hotel wearing a moustache and a yellow safety vest impersonating a union official chanting that JOE IS BACK!
11:54PM - BRAD - Rest in Peace Australian Democrats.
12:03AM- BRAD - Well it is 12:03am now. The first day of Prime Minister Rudd’s reign. Let’s take a look at how the line ball seats are going….
Bennelong - Maxine McKew - 51.84% ALP. John Howard 48.16% LIB. Votes Counted: 77.18%
Bowman - Jason Young - 50.28% ALP. Andrew Laming 49.72% LIB. Votes Counted: 78.67%
Swan - Kim Wilkie - 50.24% ALP. Steve Irons - 49.76% LIB. Votes Counted: 74.73%
Herbert - George Colbran - 50.37% ALP. Peter Lindsay - 49.63% LIB. Votes Counted: 78.78%
12:16AM - BRAD - Well it looks like everything is winding down. The AEC seems to have headed home for some shut eye, I certainly won’t and won’t be calling it a day until at least sunrise. So expect some more posts from me. That might be it for our LIVE election blog. I think me and Sheldon did a great job, it went for 7 HOURS!
CLOSING STATEMENT: Brad, here. Sheldon is asleep so I get to wrap this up. It has been a long and hard 6 weeks. Lots of twists and turns and we didn’t miss many on TDV. It has been great to sure the Election with the hundreds of visitors to TDV each day and we hope to enjoy further political hijinks with you in the future.
I’m certainly stoked that the ALP has won. But that sort of gloating and glorification can wait for my blog posts. At the moment the ABC is calling it….
ALP 83 SEATS WON (86 PREDICTED)
COALITION 58 (62 PREDICTED)
INDEP - 2
I think the ALP will even claw one extra seat maybe two, they are ahead in several of the too close to calls.
My prediction for a Queensland schwing of over 10% didn’t eventuate but Queensland fell heavily behind Kevin Rudd and more seats than most fell to the ALP. I picked a margin of 26 seats. So it looks like I was close.
I was shocked and so pleased to see both Forde and Petrie fall. I thought the ALP would be lucky to get one, but the swing in Forde was MASSIVE. Only now being overtaken by the swing for Leichhardt.
I was pleased and relieved to see that the Queensland council amalgamations didn’t sway people much at all. I thought they might be an issue in the northern seats and also Petrie.
Seeing Howard likely unseated from his own seat is pretty much a humiliation. And I thought it was definitely possible but I can’t even fathom that it looks like Maxine McKew did it. If she officially pulls it off she is will be a long time ALP hero, she is a dragon slayer! A giant killer! Even if she falls short, her efforts were still astounding and worthy of all the congratulations and smiles and hard earnt praise.
I think she will go far in the Labor government.
We are all still wondering what the Labor cabinet will look like, but that might be some speculation for me and Sheldon tomorrow. Maybe both him and I can have a guess at the cabinet. See how close we go.
I thought the ALP let Turnbull slip through the net, but his maverick ways certainly saved him and he lives to live…back stab another day. He will certainly be in contention for senior Liberal roles. Maybe deputy.
I was genuinely shocked to see Mal Brough go in his seat of Longman. I didn’t think he was too bad and was definitely a Coalition young gun with a future. But he was one of their most high profile casualities.
I’m glad the campaigning is over and now the new Labor Federal government can get to business. Alot of people love to follow the elections but I’m in it for national progress. I’ll just be as interested to be watching Question Time and seeing these new policies be acted on. I won’t be losing much interest at all.
It is only the begining for me.
I’m looking forward to Peter Costello being the Opposition Leader, he is my favourite Liberal. Although I’d never vote for him. He will be a great Opposition Leader and will always keep things interesting. And Tony Abbot is still rattling around.
CONGRATULATIONS KEVIN RUDD AND LABOR!
The real Australia is back!
I’m off to watch the Election all over again on DVD. I wonder who will win?!
