Australia doesn't have a fixed term parliament at federal level (some states do) so the election could be called sooner at the discretion of the Prime Minister. If the next House of Representatives election is to coincide with a half-Senate election (usual, but not essential), it must be held on or after 4 August 2007.
August is still winter, and December/January is holiday period, so the September-November window in 2007 is most likely.
