Two more weeks of caretaker government would make it just like a regular election campaign, and I think it safe to say all will be resolved by then. Even if it's not, consider that Belgium did not implode after its last election, when it took <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007-2008_Belgian_political_crisis" rel="nofollow">six months</a> to form a government, and that California still survives even though its legislature has been blocking supply (as we would call it) <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/politics/cal/la-me-budget1-2008sep01,0,124291.story" rel="nofollow">for ten weeks</a>. Also, we're still in nowhere near as bad shape <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/08/2357978.htm" rel="nofollow">as NSW</a> :-) Cameron: what are you so worried about?

Also: with Rees in NSW, Bryce being sworn in as G-G, and the likelihood of Barnett taking over (even if only for a while?) in WA, have we decided somewhere that September is the month for changing every parliamentary leader? Who's next, Nelson or the Queen? ;) Ah, but he did get to vote (I’m not going to say anything positive/negative about WA’s state of affairs until I’ve worked out what the situation is (and any benefit of just one house) over here!).
