August 21...

That's the date that's been set for the Australian Federal election. I'm a nerd with quite the interest in politics, so I'm quite excited that the countdown is on. I'll be in my element reading news sites, the ALP site and political blogs, tweets and websites in the lead-up to the event.

It will be interesting watching this campaign unfold. Already the polls and statistics give Labor a 10% lead. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next 5 weeks! As a tried and true Labor girl, I hope that Julia Gillard does get to move into The Lodge, and hope that if she does, she feels she has been put there fair and square, by the Australian people.
