Australia Votes 2007: Online Coverage

As I have previously reported, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is likely to be the first choice for the international reader following the Australian Federal Election. But other broadcasters have their own election sites.

SBS have their own site, and will start their election coverage at 9.30pm AEDT. Seven Network have teamed up with Yahoo! for their site. Nine Network and MSN are together for their special election site. Sky News Australia also has a dedicated election section.

That's the one good thing about the web. If you go hunting, you can often find exactly the information you're looking for, and sometimes, like this time, you can find it many times over.
