“My fellow Australians” would already know that this weekend we elected a new federal government.  The Labor party has swept to power, bringing to an end 11 years of the Liberal-National Coalition government.  In fact, this is proving to be quite an historic election, because for the second time ever in our 106 years of federal government, the Prime Minister could possibly lose his own seat.

Of course, this means our new government, lead by PM-elect Kevin Rudd will look towards implementing its policies.  One of these is its “Education Revolution“, which includes funding a year of pre-school for every child, and a computer for every student in years 9 to 12 of school.  Aligned with this strategy as well is an investment in improving Australia’s broadband Internet coverage and speed.

So, let the revolution begin!  Let’s see what forward directions education can take for the future, and let’s hope that future is bright.
