Nope. And for good reasons, if their last six year term is any indication:

- let in 50,000 undocumented illegal immigrants.
- racked up record deficits, mostly through spending on trash.
- killed overnight a major export - cattle to Indonesia.
- broke a promise and hit Australia with a carbon tax that cost jobs and raised power prices without making a difference to temperatures.
- invented a mining tax that raised almost no money while scaring off investment.
- scrapped on industrial watchdog at the request of militant unions, unleashing a wave of intimidation of employers.
- punished critical media outlets with a hostile media inquiry.
- proposed a draconian state-appointed media supercop to police all commercial media outlets and even blogs, with penalties including imprisonment.
- designed on the back of a beer coaster a $43 billion broadband network that was unaffordable, blew its budget and ran hopelessly behind schedule.
- spent $16 billion on overpriced school halls, many not actually needed.
- put free insulation in people’s homes that killed four installers and set off scores of house fires.
- sacked two of its prime ministers before crashing to a huge defeat.
- spied on the Indonesian president’s wife, later triggering a diplomatic scandal.
- incited a mini race riot by Aborigines on Australia Day.
- offended China by referring to its leaders as “rat f...ers”.
