Another first time Federal voter here (who can forget the all important local government elections?): I get the great privilege of voting against Brendan Nelson then watching him win in a landslide.
As for the Senate I'm really not sure. I like the concept of haveing the senate as a moderating factor but with the disintegration of the Democrats and the stupid dogma of the Greens I really am not sure how to go.
My main problem is that no-one is adressing issues that I believe are truly important:
The increased casualisation of the workforce;
Our continued reliance on coal power without looking at the much more enviromentaly friendly nuclear alternative;
Real improvements in the public education system to make it a viable alternative to private schooling;
The massive amount of money that needs to be put into our health infrastructure to keep it from imploding (medicare gold, give me a break)
Yet another disilusioned voter.
