worse thing is that it look's like the senate will be controlled by the govt, meaning any policies can be pushed through without debate or challenge, one of the worst outcomes.
[Howard] said the election result is historic, being the first time since the 1960s that an incumbent government has increased its majority at two consecutive elections.
Hot Damn.....this is very good news indeed . Looks like a majority of Aussies are fairly level headed follks unlike the 'down under' contingant that hangs arounds on this forum .
Congrats Mr Howard, let's hope that most of my fellow Americans in less than a month will follow suit and give Mr Bush another 4 years .

only reason why you think it's good is due to the stance our PM has taken on war on terror, in a nutshell, you have no idea what's going on down here, and don't even try to tell us that you do, cos you wouldn't even be able to tell me right now what a medicare levy is without searching. you have nada idea about our country or its system, so making ill informed statements shows your ignorance.
we sold ourselves to our govt by giving them senate, they can go to town on us and do what ever they want, no questions asked! thats not level headed, thats plain ignorance! and if you want me to start telling you why, TELSTRA is a good place to start.
but you seem so well informed, so maybe you can tell me why it's a good thing to have govt to control the senate? of course you can't, so leave out the ignorance aldo, apart from tthe fact that we support the war on terror, you have NO IDEA what happens here.
you want to go to UNI for a degree here, be prepared to shell out $100000 just to get in! fees have risen under this govt, and are set to rise another 30% to study say engineering, upfront domesti undergraduates are now expected to pay $150000. and your going to tell us that's a positive outcome, you tell me who can afford that? $170000 for a medical degree and so on, these are all changes our GOVT is going to make.
do you know anything about our tax system? we are the highest income taxing nation in the world, over 47% of a middle income earners wages go to taxes, if i had 2 jobs i'd be paying 50cents in the dollar income tax, bet you didn't know that we pay two taxes when we fill our car with fuel, we pay GST, then a tax on that tax, our fuel prices per liter are among the highest in the world, last year it cost me $58 to fill my car, now it's closer to $75.

FYI, I lived in Brisbane for 4 years (New Farm) , I have relatives in Newcastle, Tamworth and Caranavon, and I was down there last month visiting said family members. That said, I do plead a great deal of ignorance on the inner workings of the Aussie goverment but the fact that Howard by a noticable margin say a lot to me.
Tell ya what hot shot, stop making iditoic remarks about Bush, the US and it's people, and I'll do likewise. Still looking at your profile photo, I can see that you are truly a class act.
