Australia has elections? Neat!

Yeah...we have a far less corrupt democracy than the states, actually. Compulsory voting and the Westminster system FTW. Presidental systems are dumb and prone to corruption.
Anyway, I think Ruddock has it has in the bag at this stage. People despise the new industrial relations laws even though they're great for the economy and more libertarian in nature. Plus they're a great campaign platform for the communists/unions/Labor party. I actually don't mind Rudd as a PM, I heard him speak once at a business meeting about the future of Australian business and security given the threats from certain developing nations - a very smart man.
