Live Thread: Australian Federal Election Count
24th November 2007

Posted on 11/23/2007 10:55:46 PM PST by naturalman1975

In about minutes, polling booths across the eastern side of Australia will close, and counting will begin in the 2007 Australian election. I - and anybody else - who wants to become involved - will be posting in this thread updates based on Australian TV concerning the count.

Nice to see Howard fighting back.

Wentworth held by the Liberals on current numbers.
Bonner (Liberal) - early figures suggest Labor gain
Herbert (Liberal) - very very early figures still held by Liberal.

Large number of postal votes in Bennelong - these will normally favour Howard.

I’m thinking my 20 seat prediction won’t be too far off the mark.

sorry, I am a bit out of the loop on Aussie politics.. Who do WE want to win? Who will support US in the Global war on terror?

Final results could be days away - we have a reasonable chance of knowing who won in general terms in a couple of hours or so.

When they say Liberal they mean the old school classical Liberals, like our Founding Fathers tended to be.

Nah, folks - it’s over.

Under a democratical government the citizens exercise the powers of sovereignty; and those powers will be first abused, and afterwards lost, if they are committed to an unwieldy multitude.

I think Labor has won, but it is too early to call it formally.
