    Abbott or Gillard...?

    Hi all, An informal vote is saying "I don't care" when obviously you do. If you don't like the candidates then at least vote for the "least worse" alternative. Just remember people all over the world have fought and died for the right to be able to vote. If all candidates are really...

    Abbott or Gillard...?

    Hi all, A hung parliament is a very real possibility with Katter siding with the coalition and Bandt with labor. No idea about the others. Such a thing would be worse than either major party winning. Odds would be high for another election within a year if that happened. Markets would hate...
