Give Rudd a go, its like picking on the newbie in a forum, bagging them before they have a chance to do or say anything just because they are new blood.

Went ter me pollin booth in the afternoon and only the libs were there handing out how to vote cards.

I really did wanna see brownies ticket there so I could put his sttoge last on me ticket.

The whole town'll probably be wunderin who it was who voted agin the libs

I have to admit that I mucked up my vote. A staunch Labor supporter, I waited for ages to vote, got distracted by someone I knew who kept asking me questions, and only ticked one box on the green form. My man got in comfortably, however, and that made me feel better.

Have faith everyone, your fellow Australians have spoken. These are the same people who got this country to where it is today, not the pollies.

Given that everyone on their side used to accuse John the magnificent of being up George Bush's posterior, that's pretty precious!

Ok, I give in.

Now what'm I going to do?

I'm sitting here with a swollen ankle looking for a fight, and you've gone home!

I hate politics, always have done.

But that last PM, whats his name again? Just knew how to get to me, and most of the electorate obviously too by the looks of it.

Dont worry Midge, you wont be the minority for long, only 8 years at the very least..

Oh - Hold It, who was the guy who ...

The one with the glasses - yes - him I voted for him!!!!!

Phew - thought I was confused there for a moment.

Did any one notice that in most seats the guy called informal got the third highest number of votes.

I remember well the last time this mob were in, Libs had to sell all the silverware to get us out of debt. Alas, there is no silverware left, so if the debt levels rise, we all will cop it.

As if I care about Pollies and Pubic Servants Super. I pay mine out of my earnings so should they. Keating ran 3 surpluses and 1 deficit, it is appropriate to run a deficit when the economy stalls. The way the Aus economy is stretching capacity we are getting inflation, interest rate rises and maybe even a bit of recession. Surpluses are not the outcome good economic management just the effects of doubling the tax base and cutting state funding.

The rate of executions in Texas is 4 to 1 black to white. If I remember correctly the big Bush was the most hanginest Guvna ever... After his comments about the Bali bombers I really thought the death penalty would be floated in Aus if he had another term.

The sun is still shining, work continues, it will not be the end of the world because a different L is at the helm. In fact I dont expect there will be any difference for most of us. At least hate will not be institutionalised any more. If Kev keeps his word......

Correct me if I am wrong isn't this the first time Australia has had total Labour government state and Federal.

What will they call Rudd ----Ruddy Ridickulass and his faithful depity Daug Gillard she will be Rudd's attack dog.

Cheaper Asian imports here we come

Don't know what the worry is about Bush he'll soon be gone too and would have even if Little John had stayed.


As for how Australia voted http://www.abc.net.au/elections/fede.../guide/map.htm
looking at the map its only where the population is more concentrated that has won it for Labour.
