| Truly bad. An answer that might have worked for those of us outside 'Stralia is that no one knows the results (much less already in a newspaper) on the EVENING of election day - the papers wouldn't have the results until the next day's editions. |

| I thought the same as zap. I'm not particularly good with Australian politics. |

| To clarify, I didn't think it was bad like zap did, I just thought that the answer was that the results would not be published until the next morning. |

| having the winner in a newspaper is not entirely farfetched.
winners of the election are often known in australia on the night of the election, there's no reason why a newspaper *couldn't* stay open and bring out an election night paper.
unlikely i grant you, but not impossible...
thanks renae, glad you liked it  |

| I enjoyed it. Good writing sweetime!
I didn't know any of this, and not all teasers are gonna to be world wide known.
So lets show a bit of respect for the people in different locations sharing their cultures and ways with us in teasers!v
Very good job!!  |

|   A truely goood Mystery gives all clues important to discovering the truth, or facts of the Mystery. It appears to me that the street Melbourne only exist in Austy. It seems to be the major clue here. Please, give Clues that are germane to the mystery. Oh, good teaser. |

"The Senate" seemed to be the only suspicious clue. And it was. |

| i thought the exact same thing as zap. and if it wasnt that, i thought it had something to do with the senate. so actually you have two answers, one impossible for two ways, and one impossible for one way. am i confusing anyone? |

| I didn't really like this teaser, I have to say. It was a good teaser, but I am not from Australia and have no clue about that kind of stuff. O well |

| With tied elections in the upper an lower house it is possible that John Howard can be returned as Prime Minister AND achieve a majority in the Senate at the same election. In fact this is currently the case in Australia now. Here is a quatoe from a newspaper report in 2004.
"The Coalition increased its majority in the House of Representatives with the Liberal Party claiming 75 Lower House seats, the Nationals 12 and Labor 60.
Three independents claimed the other seats.
The strong support for the Government also flowed through to the Senate where the Coalition gained control of the Upper House in its own right."
Sorry but the reasoning is incorrect. |

| It's really nice to get an "Australian" teaser now and again. Those who complained because 'it's Australian and I'm not from Australia' has had a taste of what we Aussies have to endure on here time and time again when American politics, etc. are quoted in teasers. |

| I agree with jazzmusician, this site should expose us to everything, not just American trivia. Sorry for the people who think otherwise  |

| It's very fun for someone familiar with the entire governmental set-up, but for someone with less knowledge of such, they'd rely more on logic than not-prior knowledge, which wouldn't get them all too far as long as solid evidence is concerned. |

| Its not bad that its Australian. I just think you could put more hints that it is set in Australia. Good mystery otherwise. |
