Does anyone realise that we don't actually vote for them, but for our local members? It takes a very large shift in public opinion for a sitting member to lose their seat, especially in those many safe Liberal seats. For mine this game is still well within the liberals lap, but labour is having a go of it the only way they know how... making promises they couldn't possibly ever fulfill.
Immigration: Doesn't matter who wins becuase three quarters of us actually have brains and don't want Australia to turn into France/Sweden.
IR: Liberal wins - IR laws get watered down, but stay. Thousands of jobs stay in Australia but minimum wage levels drop, fucking 50% of the workforce in the arse. Labour wins - IR laws get a major watering down, minimum wage stays put, trend continues with thousands of jobs being moved to PNG/Indo/India/China.
Iraq: Doesn't matter either as everyone who played in this game are well and truely fuct. Best we keep the US happy on this one and do what we're told. If elected Labour will not, repeat WILL NOT pull out of Iraq until the upcoming Democratic prez decides too.
