Tony Abbott casts his vote

The Election is over but we have no winner! In this fast-tracked™ episode of The Ploy we look at the results so far, and discuss how a Hung Parliament works and what to expect from it and whoever forms Government.

We cover whether or not Kevin Rudd is responsible for Labors decline, The backlash against Labor in West Sydney never eventuated as first though, why not? The Greens were the only real winners of the election, picking up the seat of Melbourne (VIC) and seats in the Senate, was Mike solely responsible?

Plus for those not interested in politics, we have Paul’s brand new movie review segment ‘Popcorn Paul’s Extra Buttery Movie Reviews’. This week its the new Stallone flick “The Expendables“.

Ben tells us about Facebook Places, the new service to take on 4Square. Paul is into the new show ‘Whale Wars‘, and asks should the Japanese Whalers face potentially violent protests for breaking International Laws?
