1. He apologized to Aborigines, as he promised, before the elections.
2. He signed the Kyoto Protocol, almost all developed countries signed it except from Bush and Howard, as he promised, before the elections.
3. He brought our soldiers from Iraq as he promised, before the elections.
4. He did the maximum he could do to abolish the NO Workchoice as he promised, before the elections.
5. He asked the Commission to search about the Maternity, Paternity and Parental leave as he promised, before the elections.
About the oil prices this is an international problem, caused partly from USA and unfortunately Howard's government did do anything to promote other kind of energy.
About the "house prices fall, there will be some very angry voters out there " and many happy voters, especially low income or young people.
UNTIL NOW I THINK ALP GOVERNMENT AND KEVIN PERSONALLY HAVE PERFORMED WELL!
I did not read surveys last weeks, but I hope the Liberals have improved their popularity or still they are on the 7%!
Democracy needs strong opposition and the 7% or 10% is very bad.
WITH THEIR POLICY THE 7% IS VERY MUCH!
