Hi, I will be voting for the ALP because of the overall tax policies of the ALP, even if the FC changes are a crock, I agree with the other changes, and I think they will get passed and the FC changes wont[forever the optimist] But, as to which party is likely to be seen as better on issues such as abuse, ALP wins hands down, so I would agree that it helps my side of politics. NSW is interesting, they may avoid the worst of the backlash on social issues, as most of the public figures that the electorate find irritating, are at the federal level. Bet they would have liked the Feds to have gone first though. If the state government goes , and they feel the feds took them down, it will not be pretty at lib headquarters.
