August1991 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 I'll admit I'm not disappointed. I thought I would be. Six months ago I would have even betted on it.But the Australian election is turning out to be something else. It's fascinating, controversial, bizarre, and strange. New Zealand NewsBut Reuters has another (supercilious) perspective. Australia’s election campaign has been mostly dull and stage-managed, leaving a lot of us bored and cynical, but it has at least served up one delicious irony.In a land of immigrants, the two main candidates are promising to crack down on immigration if elected — even though both were themselves born overseas. Reuters--- Amazing. I love democracies because their politics are melodrama - life itself. Australians will vote on Saturday 21 August. Quote
ToadBrother Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 Amazing. I love democracies because their politics are melodrama - life itself. Australians will vote on Saturday 21 August. At least Rudd's maniacal (and laughable) attempt at Internet censorship seems dead. Quote
