Well it's been finally called. 6 weeks of being bombarded by political ads after all the ads we've already been bombarded with  :P.

Labor hasn't got a chance going on my deduction here.

Virgin voters go for Rudd.  Methinks not many of them  ;D

I've tipped John Howard to lose every election that he has contested, esp Latham, thought he was gone.
So I won't be saying much this time, all I'll say is if Howard gets back in, I've got one question, can you get AFL coverage in New Zealand?

A mate of mine works with a lot of old people, he takes them on bus trip and things like that all volentary work. Well he was talking to them and most of them have said that they have been here with both side of government and they all will be voting Liberals. As Labour seem to create a mess and Liberals when they get back in have to fix it up again. This is from them not me, I just thought it waas interesting. Don't know if I will be just yet on my side though.

Never understood this argument as both sides have created messes in my time. The Federal Libs in the early 80's (when Howard was treasurer) and State Labor in the early 90's.

I think the worm won for distracting the viewer from the pollies lol.

Not sure why they call it debate when all it was was Howard and Rudd just giving their 2 minute spiels on each issue which we've already heard :sleep. What happened to the old verbal argy bargy  ???.

Ivan Milat's sister-in-law running for SenateBy Simon Benson
October 23, 2007 12:00pm


SERIAL killer Ivan Milat's sister-in-law is running on a Senate ticket of relaxing gun laws and claims the psychopath's horrendous crimes were water under the bridge.

Ms Milat who married the jailed serial killer's brother Walter, is one of 35 candidates running for the Liberty and Democracy Party - a party which supports nuclear power, lower taxes and euthanasia, and opposes criminalising victimless crime - in the federal election.

Ms Milat, who lists target shooting as one of her hobbies, told Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper that her brother-in-law's crimes were in the past and she was not concerned that her family associations may harm her chances at a seat in Parliament.

"Its not a problem at all," Ms Milat said. "It's in the past, it's water under the bridge.

"I am saying that it is irrelevant to my candidacy. It doesn't have any connection to it."
