What are people's thoughts on the up-coming federal election? Who are you planning on voting for?

Im pretty lucky, im still not allowed to vote and i turn 18 exactly 2 weeks after the election. if i was voting i would go nationals, because my old man is a vietnam vet and supposedly they have a new agenda on Pensions and such for vets. but i hope rudd wins, it would be good to see the country in someone elses control, im over little jonny!

I turn 18 on the 9th of December so I miss out on voting this election.
But i'd vote Johnny, better the asshole you know then the one you don't.
Plus Rudd seems a tad of a ******, seems to try and undermine things.

Only thing I like from him is Fiber-Optic Broadband lines.
If I was voting thats the only thing that would make me go Labour.

Too young to vote but my parents always vote for labor as they have worked in the public school system, even though I go to a private school now.

This is some of the attitude that worries me, people don't exactly understand the policies and politics well so they vote with what they think they know.

Brades, they're both politicians.
Half the thing they spill won't happen anyway, we've seen this before.
Howard has served us well i'd say so far, he brought us out of the hole Kennett left us it.

As i'm not voting this year i'm not that into it yet, 3 years time will be a different story.

All I know, My pay is higher now.
