Topic: Australian federal election, 2004


  
  Federal Election 2004. Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)
Prime Minister John Howard led the Coalition to its fourth consecutive federal election victory in October 2004 as voters delivered their ringing endorsement of the Government's economic management.
The election result was even worse for the Democrats, who lost all three Senate positions they contested, leaving the party with just four sitting senators.
The election result was a personal triumph for John Howard who is now destined to become Australia's second-longest serving prime minister after Sir Robert Menzies.

  Australian legislative election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The election result was a triumph for Howard, who in December 2004 became Australia's second-longest serving Prime Minister, and who saw the election result as a vindication of his policies, particularly his decision to join in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Australian Labor Party national president Carmen Lawrence later said that "Labor has only itself to blame for the backlash over its forestry policy" and that it was a strategic mistake to release the policy so late in the election campaign.
The election of both Barnaby Joyce and Russell Trood to the Senate in Queensland resulted in the Coalition gaining control of the Senate and was confirmed by the National Party's Senate Leader Ron Boswell's in a televised telephone call to Prime Minister John Howard [13].

John Howard at the end of the 2004 Australian federal election campaign, in the explosion over forest policy, claimed political ownership of, and support from, some blue-collar workers, including officials of the forestry division of the CFMEU.
Throughout the election campaign the Howard government's propaganda against Latham and Labor was supplemented in a modest way by the virulent propaganda of two socialist groups: the Socialist Equality Party and the Democratic Socialist Perspective.
After the event, they say elections are not important, in the face of the Tory victory and in the face of their own minimal electoral result.

 ARPA: ‘Aspirational Voters’ and the 2004 Federal Election
During the election campaign, a consensus emerged that these ‘aspirationals’ would play a crucial role in determining the election outcome, especially in outer metropolitan electorates, where the Howard government held eleven seats by a margin of less than six per cent (Davies and Noonan 2004).
Before the 2004 election the Coalition held six outer metropolitan marginal seats with an average margin of 2.6 per cent (the Australian Electoral Commission defines marginal as five or less percent).
At the next national election, due in 2007, the five most marginal Government-held seats are outer metropolitan and must be won by Labor as part of the fifteen seats it requires to form government.
