Australian General Election

Australian PM John Howard is expected to call a 24 November General Election this weekend.

The most recent polls put his Labor rivals under Kevin Rudd 10% ahead.

There's good coverage here:

Particularly a swingometer: here

and interactive constituency map/guide: here


(you need to zoom in to see most of the ALP seats as they are mainly geographically tiny urban seats)

Other good sites:
