Excerpt:

Prime Minister John Howard won an historic fourth term tonight after
Labor's vote collapsed in Tasmania and the ALP failed to make ground in
key marginal seats.

The result could leave the ALP in a worse position than after the 2001
election, with predictions Mr Howard could increase his majority.

I say:

Howard is the first leader to face a vote of those who intervened
against Saddam. His opponent was for bringing the troops home.

New Don't you just wish this were some sign of Bush-love
I'll take my report from a resident -
The win of John Howard is monumental - he gained a 5% swing against the opposition nationally & for the 1st time in recent history Liberals gain a majority of support in the senate (labour had effective control there thru support of independants & democrats - dems got wiped & libs picked it up).

This is an historic win.

I just hope (vainly) that the son of a whore from Texas doesn't try to claim it as an endorsement of his warmongering and historically pathetic policies. Howard won against the Iraq debacle, his win was because of superior economic management of the economy.
Sorry, Charlie.. obsession is not dedication.
New What. He. Said. Iraq was not an election issue here.
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.
New Sour grapes for the Anglosphere?

Excerpt:

The Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, lost vital momentum for the election when campaigning was suspended following the bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta, confidential Labor Party polling reveals.

The polling, in 30 of Australia's most marginal seats, showed that after the bombing on September 9, Labor's primary vote fell to 37 per cent from 40, while the Coalition's primary vote rose to 48 per cent from 46.

Mr Latham's positive rating dropped five points and his negative rating rose two points.

By contrast, the positive rating for the Prime Minister, John Howard, increased three points and his negative rating fell by the same amount.

The Coalition lead on which party was better able to handle defence and terrorism jumped to 27 per cent from 23, while Mr Howard opened up a 6 percentage point lead over Mr Latham on which leader "deserves to win".

The polling showed concerns about defence and terrorism surged to 27 per cent from 10.

It also revealed that expectations of a Coalition victory in the election surged to 71 per cent from 54.

I say:

How come only one side lost "vital momentum" and the other gained it?
