I was more referring to your comments about taxes and decreased living standards. Not really that accurate considering the Howard government was the highest taxing government ever and costs of living (e.g., petrol, housing affordability) are higher than ever as well.

Sever, the Greens went really well. I think they will have about 5-6 senators so that is quite good. Their primary vote was about 8% I think.

So Costello is not going to contest the leadership. I am not surprised, and I say good on him for having enough self-respect so tell them to go jump. He has been dicked around on the leadership for way too long. Who will be opposition leader do you guys think? Abbott is probably a bit on the nose at the moment, maybe Nelson or Turnbull?
