It seems so.
John Howard has, as predicted, embraced nuclear power. He even says that he wouldn't mind living next door to a reactor - of course, the chances of a nuclear power plant being built next to Kirribilli is, shall we say, remote.
Kevin Rudd has guaranteed that an ALP government will not build any reactors in Australia. This might be a slight problem if the ALP's national conference votes to overturn the 'no new mines' policy next year. The implication is that it's ok for people in other countries to live next door to nuclear reactors, but not Australians (as long as we can make a buck out of the uranium they use).

Wow. Second post already.
This is getting serious.
Welcome to David, our resident New South Wales and South Australia expert. He lives in Sydney, but only escaped Adelaide as an adult, or so I'm told. So he should have a good idea of what makes both states tick.

How does one start a blog?
Always a mystery to me, and probably why my previous attempts at starting a blog have ground to a halt after just one post.
Anyway, the intention is to use this little corner of the webverse to preview the 2007 Australian federal election... and cover myself in glory when everything goes just the way I think it will. Hopefully, that means no more John Howard, MP. I don't just want him to lose the election - I want him to lose his seat as well. That would be poetic justice... the perfect way to end his decade-and-a-bit of misrule.
As you might have already noticed, I can't promise to be non-partisan. I'll try, but the fact is I don't like the Liberal Party and going by their policies over the past two terms, the feeling is mutual. That's a good thing - if the Liberal Party saw anything in me that it liked, my self-esteem would plummet.
Hopefully you stick around. If I ever get to making my second post, I'll try and make it interesting.
