Election 2010 (plus irrelevant ramble)

Too long between posts. Wish I was at the beach eating fish and chips - or in the City drinking coffee in The Domain. Take your pick. HURRY UP SCHOOLIES!

Well, election 2010 has been incredibly interesting. The highest number of informal votes, a Green MP in the House, and NINE Greens senators (would have been nice to have an Australian Democrat, but that won't be for a while). And, most importantly, a hung parliament - the first since in seventy years. So who do I predict will form a minority government? Labor. Two of the independents are lefties, and most want broadband access for their country constituents, which Labor is offering in a much more realistic package - if the market wanted to invest in a broadband network, then they would have already. We'll have to see how it works out.
