Plenty more stuff hardly mentioned

No surprise to see John Howard throwing lots of money at the punters again. What a pity spending has taken a front row and so much has taken a back seat in this election campaign - the skills crisis, human rights (and 11 years of abuse of international treaties and laws), detention centres, security laws that are proving to be as ridiculous as predicted, government secrecy, research into sustainable technology, welfare issues, a massive trade deficit (now there's the current black hole), our place on the world trade stage and how to address the dog eat dog society that is emerging in Australia, to name just a few. Where exactly is Australia heading? I'm amazed our PM wasn't handing out free calculators.
