Government Elected 2010

I think that I have just witnessed live, an historic moment. 

Labor can now form a  Government.  This might be the most interesting Government that I have ever or will ever, see. 
I'm not a political creature and I don't know all the ins and outs of everything but I was impressed by Oakshott and Windsor, whose votes for Labor made the total 76 to 74 seats. 
They emphasised that this is not a mandate for Labor.   They spoke for government for the whole country.  
 All 3 Independents spoke at length about the bush not having received equality in recent years.   Yay!!!  But I still don't think that I will get cable laid to my doorstep!!    It will be interesting to see what infrastructure is proposed for the bush.  Maybe we will get our trains back??    This could bring people out of the cities and house them in rural areas and bring businesses to provide work for them.  Maybe it could revive the dying little towns and restore them to their heyday?  It will be interesting to see what facilities are provided.  Hmmmm.

I don't kid myself that this will quickly lead to the kind of Government that I want. 
I want a joint party Government, where decisions are made for the good of the nation, not for the aggrandisement of the party.   This is not only possible but it is also being done now in other countries in the world. 
I want the Ministers to be interviewed for portfolios,  by a panel of experts in each field, so that the best person is chosen for each job.  Outsiders could be considered for each portfolio.   Years ago when I was thinking about this, I wanted Dick Smith and Lindsay Fox on such a panel or as a Minister. 

Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott have not yet been interviewed.  If Julia comes on and is jubilant because she won, I will be disgusted.  If Tony comes on and is disappointed that he isn't Prime Minister, then he has missed the point.  Why can't they speak together and acknowledge that the people really didn't want either of them??? 

Is it impossible for them to work out a joint philosophy, for the good of Australia as a whole???
