It matters very little who wins the next election, Australia and most Western Countries are not Democracies anyway, more likely Plutocracies;governing only for the top 20% of the people. If one considers the now defunct Democrats; how many of them are now sitting on fat parliamentary pensions, and some of them are under the age of fourty, and the more Greens we vote in, there will be more of them pocketing fat parliamentary pensions if they were elected before their pension system was changed, and the recently elected members may be getting a pay rise of some $50,000 per annum, which is more than many workers earn,and about more than three times what an age-pensioner gets. When countries like Greece go almost broke, the best way to pull the country out of trouble would be, cut everyones income down and then the people would accept it more readily, not like in Australia, where this government brags about avoiding the financial global crisis, but only at the expense of some section of the community, while a small section is getting fabouosly rich. Advance Australia fair, long live Plutocracy.
