Yes, Labor has won the Australian election. I’ve been told that opinion polls had Howard set to regain control, until around 9am this morning. At that time, people started to read my last article on Curmi the Blog, and the swing started. The rest as they say is history. :-)

In all seriousness, this is a fantastic result. Congratulations Kevin and the team. Now is the time for change. Bring on the return of social justice, and swift action on the environment and global warming.

John Howard gave a stirring farewell speech. He’s a great public speaker. The press will eat it up, and they’ve already started on the “What a great prime minister he was”. But don’t be fooled. Don’t forget the lies. Ever!

John – don’t let the door hit you on the arse on the way out!
