The election result is in the mail

It seems that the Howard government’s postal vote strategy was very effective where it counted - in marginal seats, writes Peter Brent.

When is a vote not a vote? When it’s provisional

A funny thing happened to provisional votes at the November 24 election. It probably cost the ALP several seats. Or it prevented them from taking several seats they shouldn’t have. It’s in the eye of the beholder, writes Peter Brent.
