Apologies...back soon

To all readers of What Sam Learnt,

You will have noticed by now that my daily election diary has fallen into a terminal state of disrepair. There are a variety of reasons for my tardiness, the main one being a non-eventful and uninspiring election campaign.

What Sam Learnt will return to usual service after the election. I hope you all enjoy the next few weeks of the election campaing (if that's possible), I'll see you on the 'other side' of the madness,

And, for the record, I'll join the long list of commentators who are predicting a Labor win. By how much is anyone's guess, but I'm of the opinion that the Labor party will emerge from the November 24 poll with a majority of at least 5 seats.

See you in a few weeks for my first post with K Rudd at the helm.

Sam
