The election rolls along. Rene and I have already voted by postal ballot since we'll be in Cairns next weekend. It quite possibly will be a knife edge result. Those of you in countries where it takes months to form a coalition government following a general election (eg Netherlands and Belgium) you might like to know that the final result and the new prime minister almost always is known before going to bed. We compared our voting two days after mailing our votes, and (would you believe) Rene and I both voted exactly the same for both the House of Representatives and The Senate. My vote is no secret to my friends - Labor in the Lower House and The Greens in the Upper.
