Political commentary

Congratulations

Congratulations to all successful candidates of the 2010 Federal election.

 

We have had 150 members elected to the Lower House of Parliament and Australia looks forward to your contributions.

To the new Greens member Adam Bandt and the new independent from Tasmania Andrew Wilkie we all wish you the best and look forward to your contributions on the floor. You will receive more media than any first term members in the history of the Australian parliament. Don’t let them get to you and remember why you went into politics.

The Upper House has all but been confirmed and candidates can feel  reasonably safe of their positions.

This election we have seen the Greens earn the largest number of representatives in their history with nine senators. It does look as though the DLP will have a new Senator elected (their first in 35 years) and with Nick Xenophon still having one term to serve we have a very large representation from the non majors.

So to all the returning and new members from all political views, GOOD LUCK.

You have offered yourself to take up a very important position we now look to you to lead our country for the next three years.

THANK YOU.
