I wish we in Australia had a more definitive month/time for a General National Federal election, regardless of a given PM or a political party, or under special circumstances (e.g. a Double Dissolution). Within 3 yrs is standard requirement after the 1st sitting of a new/existing federal Parliament.
In this case, for a National General Election, my bet is close to yours Oztrich Boy, but my bet is slightly moved forward to October or early November 2010 - we’ll see.
forward = delayed
