and a follow up to the last post

There was a really great article in The Australian, by, I believe, Greg Sheridan, about the election, in which he said for all the mud that was supposedly slung, the whole affair was a bit wishy washy, with no serious analysis of policies or voting records by either side, and that in general Australian politics are much more robust.

I'd generally agree with that, I'll see if I can find the link.
