It looks like a lot of university students won't be able to afford to go to uni with the rise in HECS staying. It looks like our miniscule, inconsequential number of troops in Iraq will be staying put. It looks like refugees will still be treated like terrorists, or dogs. It looks like it's still un-Australian to be un-American. And it looks like Howard got away with his deliberate misleading of the people for another three years (I do admit however that misleading the public is an art to politicians. Though in this, Howard is the Da Vinci of deception).
Nevertheless, I don't see any point in getting worked up about it. It's over. The tribe has spoken, or whatever. It still scares me that people can vote for someone like that, but it's happened, and probably couldn't happen any other way given the state of this country, and the rest of the world and the fact that Mark Latham hasn't lead the Labour Party long enough to earn complete voter confidence.
Well America, you can count on the unwavering support of this country's government in the next country you decide to 'liberate'. :
