Australia Votes 2010

Okay, here’s my quick take on the Aussie election:
– It’ll be decided by the independents, there’s only one green in the house and he wont play ball with Liberal/National coalition.
– The independents are all former National members who felt that country Australia and the environmental factors were being ignored – more likely to side with a lib/nat coalition but it’ll be the greenest shade the coalition has ever had.
– Best case scenario for the country: one of the major parties works with greens/independents for a carbon trading scheme and tax reforms that make Australia a safe place to invest, making up for their lack of economic planing. The investment coming into the country from safe economic planning can then be funneled into long needed infrastructure.
