abc.net.au — In a landslide Labor victory, Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, has lost not only the Federal Election, but also his local seat. Howard was voted out as member for Bennelong after over 30 years, losing to ABC personality Maxine McKew. Kevin Rudd will be the new Prime Minister of Australia.

It would be just as much a disaster for them as it would be for the US. Why do you think they don't want to be included?

In a Utopian society where there is no such thing as debt, bills or mortgage - Yes we could have stopped work collectively and asked for better conditions while negotiating with management - unpaid. Reality is that people take on financial risk to get ahead. Mortgage or even renting and having a roof over your head is the highest priority. But this of course reduces ability to absorb lengthy periods of unpaid time whilst looking for work. Not to mention defaulting on recurring debt eg: mobile phone etc.Unless you live with your parents, it is very unlikely anyone is willing to risk stable income.

Prices are dynamic, but they're controlled in such a way that generally tries to make prices rise/stay up as long as possible (having worked a couple of years in a real estate agency, I can say that for the most part, sellers aren't willing to sell below what they originally paid for a property, and agents for the most part would rather artificially inflate the price as much as they can get away with, even to the extent that they'll look towards interstate/overseas markets to sustain the higher prices - which of course makes local affordability almost non-existent).

I am wondering what Rudd supporters think of his performance thus far?
