I think Gillard has won this round.
No Bob Brown and the greenie muppets have won this round. The independents that crossed the line also have a lot to answer for. I hope the electorate that voted for them because of their "conservative" and anti-labor views will punnish them at the next election.
Sadly, in their place, we'll get egotistical, immoral, pseudo-democratic conservatives - but that's government
Well if that is what you call it we will all be better off for it.
I might start searching for a new country to live in.........hang on the USA might be a mess at the moment, but it will not be long before it looks positively attractive.
