Thanks, Gillian. I’m not sure I’m physically able to imbibe that much champagne, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.

Sean, you’ll just have to drink Justine’s share of the champers. You can drink mine, too, since it doesn’t look as if I can get to brissie. (I think brissie should pick itself up and move to just ouside queanbeyan so that I can visit more frequently.)

Alas! That means you’ll miss the aurealis shindig. But I’m looking forward to seeing you and Scott sometime soon after that. There’s champagne to be drunk in honour of Howard’s downfall…

I hate to be a downer on this happy day for all Australians, but I have two words: Bob Rae.

I know really obscure. He was the premier of Ontario from 1990 and 1995. He was the leader of the New Democratic party; this is the equivalent to the labour party in Canada.

He ran as a New Democrat and ruled like a Tory. Still depresses me.

Hopefully things will work out better in Australia. After all, Howard was evil; anybody who hates unions and loves george bush is evil in my book.

Cheers
Andrew

In a big way! We broke into the champers as soon as we got majority! It was actually 11 and a half painful years. Stop the pulp mills, please! (although, I’m actually from brisbane…)

I was so anxious on polling day that I had to play The Smiths, twice. The result is better than anyone hoped.

When I heard the news on the radio, one of my first thoughts was “I’m going to have to congratulate Justine!”

Congratulations!

The light on the hill will win out eventually. The Libs and Nats have nothing like it. Here’s hoping the nation’s future is brighter and focused on much more than economics.
