Just an update on our countries Federal Election held yesterday.

The Government were re-elected with an increased majority in the Lower house and appear to maybe have gained control of the Upper House (The Senate) as well either outright or with help of another minor party that gave their preferences to the Government which helped them get re-elected and take further seats they might not normally have obtained.

So now they can put through legislation that has up to now been blocked by the Senate which is a shame, as there needs to be some control over the Government in the Lower House by the Senate to ensure fairness in Politics.

It would appear from comments above that it is likely that Bush will get in, given that the PM John Howard retained government here for a 4th time, which was history making in its self.

He lied, got us involved in a war unneccessarily, taxes us as the highest taxing Government in Australias history, scared people with inaccurate information and has promised to spend upwards of 8 -10 Billion $$$$'s in the next three years (usually this doesn't happen as they make excuses on why they can no longer commit to thier promises). Probably a bit like what happens over there as well.

So much for Honesty in Government.

But then after seeing what your opposition is like, I don't think I like either of them to win.
