	Australian legislative election, 2007 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the 2004 election the Coalition won 87 seats (Liberal 75, National 12), to the Labor Party's 60 seats.
		The Australian Democrats are expected to lose their remaining Senate representation, since all their four Senators are up for re-election and their performance remains consistently poor in the polls.
		Given the result of the 2004 election, it is more likely than not that the 2007 election will be a regular election, and not a double dissolution election.

		International observers judged parliamentary elections in 2001 and local elections in 2003 to be acceptable and a step toward democratic development, but identified serious deficiencies.
		Presidential elections scheduled for 2005 are unlikely to bring change since the opposition remains weak, divided, and financially dependent on the current regime.
		Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction have floundered as conservative politicians have prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and consolidated their control over the government.

	2005 New South Wales By-Elections. Election Background. Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC)
		Including all 80 by-elections between 1965 and 2004, the average period between a vacancy occurring and a by-election being held has been 73 days, 65 days for Marginal seats (less than 10% margin), 60 days for safe Government seats and a much longer 104 days for safe Opposition seats.
		It appears that fixed general election dates have given MPs more opportunity to consider their future rather than be rushed to re-nominate by the calling of a snap election.
		The first is that governments tend to have their best by-election results in their first term, with the exception of the first Greiner government between 1988 and 1991.

		I see that he isn't your typical hack and that he seems quite suited to a ministerial position, but I still think that it is mega weird to give a job as important as immigration to someone who while they may be talented, has yet find their footing in parliament.
		Applying the upper house results from the 2002 state election to the proposed boundaries, four of the eight new regions would split evenly, electing two ALP, two Liberals and one Green.
		At the moment I think only four people are capable of leading the ALP to a 2007 victory under 'normal' circumstances, that is the economy doesn't go A over T and government senate control doesn't alienate too many people.
