Time for a change — crikey editorial

Crikey.com.au have just published a cracking good editorial on their assessment of the parties and how to vote. Unlike almost all of the print media, they are not siding with the coalition. They say it is time for a change:

We believe Australia deserves fresh ideas on both sides of politics. It’s time for John and Janette Howard to pack their bags and enjoy a well deserved retirement at their holiday shack in Hawks Nest. Time for a new generation of leaders to take us forward.

We like the idea of Mark Latham vs Peter Costello. Both have untapped potential, and deserve to be removed from the political shackles that have held them back - albeit with a strong Senate and a robust media to hold them accountable.

We believe that overwhelmingly it’s time for change. Not change for change’s sake. Change for the nation’s sake.
