Howard out Rudd in.....

A shift in power over here,not sure what the labour Govts stance on immigration is? All I know is this has got to be the only country where they would elect a primeminister called Kevin!!!! he reminds me of Derek off of Coronation street from years back.

Hi SaintH

I'm in the UK and it is 11.15am here. I've just tried to get the Australian election results but Google Australia seems to be down (or something is wrong with my machine.)

Is it definite that Howard is out?

Cheers

Gill

Most definite, Howard lost his seat, labour got 87 seats Coalition 57 target was 76....am broadcasting the results as they come in to Aus and the rest of the world so rest assured my info is top notch.

Still counting, not long since finished voting in WA; not looking good for Howard by all accounts though

OH well thats the end of the election, the only good thing is now the flies should ease off a bit with less bull sh!t flowing out of Rudds and Howards mouths to attract them.
