Australian Labor Party Defeat Howard Government

Tonight Australia has had a successful election where a change of Government occurred. No shots were fired in anger or groups celebrated in the streets with their AK47 machine guns like they do in terrorist controlled areas of the Middle East. Also Iraq is well on the way to being a successful democracy, and Australia can also help Iraq as many people wish to live peaceful lives there as we do here in Australia. We appreciate our democracy so we can also help those which wish to appreciate theirs.
Also the ending of one of the greatest political careers comes as the Prime Minister (many quoted as saying PM John Howard was Australia's best ever) looks like he has lost his seat by the narrowest of margins. The extreme left-wing organization 'Get-Up' can be thanked for ending the career of one of Australia's favourite Prime Ministers.
John Howard was a conservative and he was extremely well spoken, a great statesman which we may never see the likes of again. Thank you Prime Minister John Howard.

The biggest question is will we see a change of direction from new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on Defence? I hope the only change is to build a stronger and more capable Air Force.
