[Marxism] NYT: Australia's Prime Minister Defeated After Four Terms

[Alan Bradley]

Yes it is, which is a shame, since it was technically
a better campaign than earlier ones. In particular, we
did a lot better in our use of the Internet.

Unfortunately, you can have the best websites in the
world, but if nobody looks at them...

Mind you, there were some avoidable technical
glitches. Some of the candidate photos were horrible,
having been stuck on the website without concern for
their relative height and width. Amateurishness.

Some of the vote loss was due to the smaller groups
walking out, of course.

A full analysis of the result is apparently underway.

> Better fewer but better?

You *are* aware how many SA members and supporters
were handing out for the Greens, aren't you? *We*
don't waste our time making snide remarks.
