With the exception of the NBN, and one or two other things, I liked most of the coalition's policies, but I just couldn't bring myself to vote for Abbot - just couldn't do it. I'd much rather have an atheist ranga than a bible-bashing madman in charge.
I've been following the aftermath pretty closely - despite the new Greens agreement, I can't see the Independents supporting Labor, other than Wilkie, and so the coalition will have a 1 seat majority, but with Bob Katter (Incidentally, **** you FNQ for electing this idiot) being that one seat and a soon to be Green dominated Senate? No way that's going to be a government that'll be able to get anything done. They might sneak through three years of supply bills, but there'll be nothing major, good or bad. I kind of wish we'd end up back at the polls, but with this whole "3 year commitment" everyone seems to want from the major parties we're looking set for three years of stagnant, ineffective government.
On another possible note, what does everyone think of the likelihood that regardless of who forms government the Libs and Labor will be looking to each other to pass legislation, rather than fighting their way through the independents? They agree on more things thans they disagree on, after all.
