I think Kev would do a better job than Johnnie (BTW, Kev lives not far from me and I've bumped into him on the street a few times. We're like best mates or something now). Labor in power would have to improve the education system, especially tertiary, which is a mess after so many years of Liberal pillaging. I benefited from education as a right rather than a privilege - others should too. As long as Evil Johnnie doesn’t get in again I don’t care who takes over.

They'll get in and nothing will change. For example, Work Choices works on the whole, much to my chagrin, and like the GST (which still totally sucks for someone on my wage and habits) a Labor government won't dare touch it. Like GST, Work Choices simplifies things and makes things cheaper for the government. Do you really think Labor will risk a deficit to rollback Work Choices? Oh, they may make some small changes, some minor tweaks to make the not-as-commie-as-me happy, but overall it won't impact too much on their bottom line. Of course, I'm not saying vote Liberal though ;) I'm just saying the whole Lib/Lab thing is a farce and needs to be dismantled if you want real change... (Don't worry... I'm working on that too... but shhhhh! The feds might be spying...) Ok, I may sound like an utter commie here, but I wouldn’t put your hopes in the Rudd Labor party too much.
