You are a fucking LYER. None -NONE- of what you say has any basis in truth. FOLKS, check it out before you mod the parent "insightfuL" because in fact it is hog wash.
So I'm lying that I lived there for 2 years, and that there is a major power shortage there? Troll.

I don't agree. It is not directly democratic to hopejr, and all other Australians.
When I read through Australian news forums, there are a lot of regular people that feel that when they elected the government, they elected it as it was, with Kevin Rudd as it's leader.
At the end of the day, a government is one person, and to change that person, is to change the government. The only people with the right to change the government are the public citizens of Australia.
I'm an Australian, and I know how our system works, yet I entirely agree. Not democratic, and a truly unjust and deceitful way of manipulating the will of the people.
Exactly the point I was trying to make. I am Aussie myself, and I also understand how the system works. But I do know the fact that many people, when filling in their ballot papers, are not thinking about their local member, but about the future PM.

Oh, and as to the Australian Christian Lobby and all those other extreme conservative political groups - don't mix religion with government! I'm Christian, but I don't think that should have anything to do with running a country. One of these days we'll end up like certain European countries and be forced to go to church every week!
