Videos

Some people might be getting all the videos on the main page playing at once without clicking them. I can imagine how annoying that is. If you're having this problem please leave a comment stating what browser you're using and which version it is. If we can't fix it we'll just link to them. Apologies for any annoyance or inconvenience.

Changed Template

We thought the previous mostly green colour scheme would make the blog look Greens affiliated. Paranoid? Probably but blue is more neutral. We're still working on finding some right wing contributors. Any nominations or write ins will be gladly considered!

Contributing!

So you've got something to say. Great, we'll put it up, just a few things first.

0) It's relevant to the election, at least kind of, work with us here.
1) Try not to be too long.
2) Use links to back up what you say, or to provide information.
3) Spell check, because we won't.
4) Your work is public domain, so anyone can copy it, make fun of it, etc.
5) You can take a bit of criticism.

That's it. Have fun. Remember this isn't a place where anyone's telling you how to vote. It's a place where hopefully you can be exposed to different opinions and figure out what you want and how to get it. The very least you can do in an election is find out what your interests are and vote on them. You don't walk into a car dealership and buy the first one dodgy old mate points to, so why should voting be any different?

Welcome

Welcome to election2007, a blog about the upcoming Australian Federal Election. Hopefully we'll be getting some contributors (from across the political spectrum) to write some interesting stuff. Also if you think you can do better, don't just rant in the comments, email us something and we'll put it up and make you a contributor. This isn't meant to be one of the annoying talk-down-to-you blogs like at The Australian. You get the chance to contribute more than just your comments.

Comments, comments can be whatever you want, except for just calling people names. If you want to do that, then at least make it interesting.
