The last days of an election campaign are a mixture of thoughts for what has been done and panic for what is still to be done.
I can only speak for myself, but I can't help but look back over the last six weeks of electioneering from the leaders of our two main parties and wonder 'what was that all about anyway?'
Unlike the 2007 election and others besides, there has been a distinct lack of vision expressed by either party. Sure, they've packaged up their bread and circus type annoncement with grand motherhood statements but they don't speak to me at all about where we're headed as a nation.
On Sunday morning we will probably know who will lead our nation for the next three years. It seems likely that, beit ALP or The Coalition, that the Greens will be a constant thorn in the side of government.
I've said it before, but it's worth a reminder: the ALP/Green pact will probably deliver the Greens the balance of power int he Senate and that, under an ALP Government, we can be almost certain that Rainbow Labor and the Greens will be pushing Gillard hard for a free vote on same-sex marriage.
There are many reasons why a vote for the DLP on Saturday is important, protecting Marriage must surely be the highest.
At this, the eleventh hour, think clearly and soberly about our nation's future and cast your vote carefully.
