Well, I’m just about over my hang-over from last night’s election night party. And what a night it was, after 11 *long* years of the conservatives last night delivered a thumping. Coalition members in seats that needed a swing of more than 10% lost their seats (Take a bow De-Anne Kelley) John Howard looks to become only the second sitting Prime Minster to lose his seat (The first was Stanley Bruce - interestingly enough also over Industrial Relations)
Peter Costello has spat the dummy and said he doesn’t want to be Leader of the Opposition, opening the door for a whole new bunch of contenders, including Malcolm Turnball, who is mush less socially conservative than most of the current parliamentary Liberal party.
On the whole, I think we’re in for an interesting couple of weeks.
