Australian Election Result Brings Disappointment
After weeks of negotiations and discussion the Australian election result was finally delivered to a mostly disappointed public late today.
Despite the election resulting in a hung parliament the most significant gains were recorded by the opposition Liberal party leading many to believe a change of government was warranted.
After deals were made between Labor and the greens party along with 1 independent member it left the final decision up to the 3 key independent members who were widely expected to side with the Liberals. However late this afternoon only 1 of the independents chose to do so handing Labor leader Julie Gillard another stint at the top job.
This result left many Australians deflated wondering why they bothered voting in the first place. With Labor’s appalling track record regarding what many believe to be major issues facing the country one could hardly blame them.
The Labor have shown little if any strength in border protection against illegal immigration with boatloads of illegals arriving within Australian waters each week.
Add to this excessive, non-selective and unsustainable levels of immigration which pushed over 280,000 people last year leaving many Australians believing Labor do not have the national interest at heart.
Other largely unpopular policies such as the mining tax and negligible impact on health or the family budget and it’s easy to see why this election has been a let down for most Australians hoping for something better.
