John Howard, known in Australia as the "Little Rodent" prevented a Labor Party win by promising to make a large portion of Tasmania's forests a Nature Preserve closed to logging. This shifted the Senate seats in Tasmania, which had been solidly Labor Party, to John Howard's Liberal Party Coalition which made a win by Mark Latham and the Labor Party impossible. Nation-wide all parties lost seats to the Green Party whose environmentalist agenda resonates ever more strongly in Australia. It's ironic that this shift to the left supported Howard's re-election. One happy note is both Pauline Hanson and her former right-wing "One Nation Party" received less than 1% of the vote nationally which is even less than their 2% showing last election.
