It seems the election came up quickly. Aren't they allowed up to 5 years between elections? Doesn't the ruling party get to pick when to hold the election?
I thought the last election was about 2004.

It is three years in Australia, similar to NZ. (I think only Canada and Mother Britain can have electiomns called up to 5 years from last).
