"Rob Oakeshott ... had promised he would announce in mid-March whether
he would run in this year�s election. But with that deadline up at the
end of this week, Mr Oakeshott told The Australian he was now likely to
delay any statement until after the federal budget is delivered on May 14.
I doubt the Budget will bring much hope".

Comment: Well, we've had the budget and Swan has failed to stick to his
'surplus' promise and will exceed the debt ceiling in a few years, so
what are you waiting for?
At the end of the day the Indepdents have failed the electorate.
Starting with Wilkie - whose requirement for mandatory commitment was
the first to be dumped by Gillard - or was it the commitment to better
governance - treated with contempt by the ALP - the party of crooks.
