Another advantage of living in a small town, is there isn't a wait to vote in the Federal election. I'm getting more and more cynical about Australian politics. The outcome was as just as predicted.
Tasmania is a funny state. We turned over a few seats to labour, and Lyons seems like a safe labour seat. I sent our representative an email before the election about the water issues here, and wasn't really impressed with the result.
The senate seats in Tasmania are the funniest thing. The Democrates don't even bother to run in the senate here, since the greens end up with 17% of the vote [second only to the ACT with 21%, but they are [only] a territory, so it didn't win them a seat]. I'm really not sure why any independent / crackpot party bothers to run in Tassie... but they do.
The best part [why I'm writing this post] of the election for me was looking at the ABC website coverage. It's got a google map and plenty of stats. You should definitely check it out here.
