Election day is upon us

The phony election campaign in Australia started 12 months ago. The official election campaign started nearly six weeks ago. And it almost finally over. No more predictions, just reflecting on the results.

I feel a bit torn. Part of me has missed following the campaign, the ebb and flow of the politics, the intrigue and the mediocrity. That said, I certainly have not missed the political party ads on TV. I have been exposed to quite a few of them just on websites such as the Sydney Morning Herald. The ones being run by the Liberal Party in the last 24 hours are really appalling - hence my joy at missing the rest. (That said, I just surfed on to the SMH site, and the ads running now are from the Labor Party and just as bad...)

But for some brevity, I thought I would post this video of Bob Brown, leader of the Greens, being interviewed by Rove McManus. I don't think it needs any introduction...
