We well remember the drama surrounding the 2010 election result. In the end, it came down to Independents Windsor and Oakeshott siding with Labor for two reasons: Labor’s National Broadband Network (NBN) and the promise from Julia Gillard that she would not disrupt Parliament by calling an early election.
Given that a number of Liberal backbenchers are vying for the NBN to come to their electorates and we see that the government will serve its full term, Winsdor and Oakeshott made the right call.
It’s my gut feeling that the 2013 election might be a repeat of 2010.
Let’s assume it is. And let’s assume it again comes down to a couple of Independents having the deciding vote.
What would they vote on and why?
I realise it is difficult to answer given that the Coalition have not released much in the way of policies, so we can only go on what we know so far.
BTW, thanks to Bilko for suggesting the topic.
