and his party loses the election. about bloody time.

Govt - 58 seats
Opposition - 83

Australia votes 2007

tho my local member kept his seat, bugger, his campaign to tell everyone how Green he was by filling our letterboxes with brochures seemed to have worked, even tho as Minister for the Environment he approved a pulp mill in an almost pristine area. He spent lots of his own money on leaflets & expensive pamphlets telling us what a great bloke he was (his wife even told us so in one brochure) & how he was an ordinary bloke (he takes buses!!)

but his party lost & I wonder what will be happen in the party room when they have to elect a leader. Will the current Deputy Prime Minister, the next Prime Minister according to the (outgoing) Prime Minister really get elected by his colleagues unopposed as the (outgoing) PM has been saying.

oh, to be a fly on the wall.
