	Australian legislative election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Legislative elections were held in Australia on 9 October 2004.
		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.
		As in all Australian elections, the second-preference votes of minor parties were crucial in determining the outcome of this election, and the close of nominations was followed by a period of bargaining among the parties.
