On September 14th (although subsequent to the latest virtual assassination of Julia Gillard this could change) we Australians will be going to the polls in unprecedented numbers to either re-elect a precariously balanced Lower House or to install what the Astonisher predicts will be a precariously balanced Lower House of a different political colour. Will we vote for change between a middle-of-the road corporate directed centre-left to a middle-of-the road corporate directed centre-right Government.
Maybe we should look at what was said in the last election and discover whether anything has changed with any of them.
For our overseas readers the Liberal Party are the conservatives, the National Party are the right wing, the Labor Party, supposedly for the worker, is centralist. The Greens are the only left wing party while Katter and Palmers Parties are like the US Tea Party, all over the place like a mad woman’s handbag.
