    Falcons already are.

    What went wrong with the pollsters? They predicted a whitewash...wasn't anything like that?
    were they fudging? did everyone lie to the pollsters?

    3million pre votes, you might wake up in the morning surprised. People vote early when they are pissed off

    Who the turtle is the creepy guy on Rudd's left?
    Looks like he was either pissed, or letting out silent ones throughout the speech.

    Likely result somewhere along the lines of 55ish to 90ish, a 35 seat majority... you don't call that a whitewash? I go back to 1996 and 1975 to find bigger majorities... looks like a reasonably white whitewash to me?

    I think that Clive has won a house of Reps seat...and one of his party has won in the senate..Who could have seen that happening? No one south of the border that's for sure..

    He has a huge following in qld, I'm surprised he didn't do better to be honest.

    I'm sad that the liberals have such a big majority. Imagine how interesting it would be if Katter and Palmer helda balance of power haha.

    It is such a shame Peter Costello is no longer in politics....

    if he was still treasurer, we could honestly say that our country was being run by

    Abbott and Costello

    :lol:

    Ignoring the Libs, name a noticeable welfare enhancing policy of the ALP over the past six years that did not involve a wealth redistribution by taking away natural property rights.

    Bonus question: Name a pro-freedom of speech policy?
