Iraq key issue in Australian elections?

Jonny English · 07-October-04, 01:23 PM

It looks like Iraq could be a big issue in the Australian general election - the Liberal-National Coalition government supports the war in Iraq, but the Labor opposition say they will pull their troops out if elected (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...13926.stm#Iraq).

The economy is likely to be the biggest issue for Australian voters, which does at least make a difference from the Spanish elections in March, when the Socialist party had a shock victory on the back of their promise to pull out of Iraq.

Not a chance, but the effort is worthy
