LOL it doesn't really depress me, but it does surprise me. I mean, everyone I've
spoken to since the election has said "so who the heck voted Liberal??". But I
guess that's probably just a case of me associating with people that share
similar views. And I'm in a safe Labor electorate anyway (whatever THAT is).
But just to be my usual pedantic self, out federal term is 3 years maximum, and
highly adjustable. Many over the years have called for fixed 4 year terms
(including Latham), but for some reason it has never come to pass. I can't see
it changing in the next 3 years either...
It will be interesting to see what happens with the FTA too now that Liberals
are looking like possibly getting a majority in the senate.

There would seem to be few examples of freedom delivered from without that were any more successful. (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
