A majority of whom (sadly) voted for the coalition, "be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it."

I'm anticipating huge buyer's remorse in less than a year. Maybe the liberals can pull a Gillard and replace Abbott with Turnbull. At least he's not given to psychotic episodes like the one in the video.

But regardless of whatever else they do in office, it seems certain that the Liberals are going to screw up the National Broadband Network totally, installing last-decade technology that'll have to be replaced almost as soon as it's put in place.

And that's just one policy.

I'm not a permanent resident, but I do care about Australia -- and I'm going to be here for several more years -- so I view this development with great disappointment.
