Incidentally

The State election was on Saturday. I voted a few days before in anticipation of working - see I can be organised. Anyway, it is interesting that my safe Labour seat of Melbourne might have a change to Greens. Its gonna come down to absent and pre-poll voting. I also enjoyed John Howard's comment that State elections mean nothing to Federal politics because they are fought on State issues. um, is taking control over IR with the new Federal IR laws and paving the way to the possibility of taking over more State controlled functions not a State issue that the Federal government has their hands all over?
