    Well, I heard on the radio today that some quite high percentage of people (sorry, can’t remeber the figure) will only make up their mind as they walk in to vote, and I did a pre-poll as I am interstate this weekend. For the first time ever, I made up my mind by thinking as I walked up that I would vote for the first flier I got. I must admit it is a safe seat and I am only voting as it is complusory here. This election has an atmosphere like no other, and I am in my late 40′s and have seen a few elections.
    What will be the result? Who knows, last election the prime minister lost his own seat. Aussie politics is, like the rest of the world, not like it used to be.
    Have a good weekend everyone!

    I’m not Aussie, so riddle me this: If Labour wins (a majority?) is that bearish AUD?

    wreck: if Labour wins clearly, good for aussie. If libs win clearly, v good for the aussie. if hung parliament, or greens in balance of power, bad for aussie.
