After 11 long years, four elections, let's hope the Australian public finally gets it right (or left?) today.
Legacies of the Coalition government?
- tampa/children overboard debacle
- strengthened border security measures
- detention centre fiascos
- involvement in Iraq
- abolition of compulsory student unionism
- introduction of full-fee paying university places (>$100k degrees)
- AWB scandal
- private health insurance rebate scheme
- citizenship tests
- cross media ownership legislation
- copyright law amplification
- sedition and anti-terrorism bills
- 'Little Children' bill that requires relinquishment of land title/ownership
- Unaffordable housing situation
- flirting with fringe interest groups (Hillsong, Exclusive Bretheren, Bush administration)
- and of course....workplace reforms that overwhelmingly works in employers' favour
May the australian public vote responsibly.
