Re: Which party are you going to vote for?
I'm in the UK at the moment, so don't get a vote, but it boils down to :
a Socialist vs Religious nutter.
Glad I'd in the UK, and don't get a vote.
It's like deciding which is the best STD, syphilis vs gonorrhea.

Everyone in our household is going to vote for the Libs.
Not a fan of Labor, and the past 3 years has confirmed this for me. They lurch from one ill-conceived reform to another. No real thought or planning.
Do not like the mining tax which is regressive and will stop future investment. Mining employs a lot of people who all pay tax. Its a greedy grab by a spendthrift socialist-orientated government to prop up their spending commitments.

Coalition because frankly Australia is standing at an economic crossroad with an opportunity to become a real player in the world. To vote for any socialist party in the next critical 3/6 years could derail us for a generation.
Also - just a note to remind people that, for example, voting greens will usually mean voting labor. Check what preferences deals you have in your constituency and don't waste a vote for someone you didn't actually mean to vote for in the first place.
