Election 2010

More than 2 weeks have gone by since Election 2010 and still no government.

Will it be the Coalition? ALP?

None of the locals I know seems frazzled. Life goes on.

A fellow stallholder I met on Sat gave me a mini-lecture on the pros and cons of life under the Libs vs Labor.

When the Libs were in power, they cut services, health and education. Her son (now 32) was one of those youths who fell through the gaps because there were no vocational options like TAFE. Apparently the Libs were all for tertiary education but didn't care so much about every child getting a chance. She says the Libs were able to do the damage they did because they were in power for so long.
