“Is there any chance the exit polls could be wrong?”
Howard conceded. And he lost his parliamentary seat too.
According to an Australian Freeper who wrote me, this was not unexpected. People were ready for change after almost 12 yrs.

Change is not always a good thing! I hope America realizes it come 08. Liberals should never be given the purse strings IMHO.
Aussie voters are just like American voters. They keep electing people who promise to give them more free stuff until one day they can't deny they're in a mess. Then they elect conservative "adults" to impose the disciplines they should have exercised all along, to put their house into order. When the economic and foreign relations infrastructures are humming nicely again, they spit on conservatives and vote for the Labor folks who promise to give them Utopia -- and lots of new free stuff. And the cycle repeats.
