Ever since the fiery haired Julia Gillard ousted Kevin Rudd for control of the Australian Labor Party, speculation has been rife over the results of the upcoming Australian Federal Election.

The date has been set for 21st August 2010 and the big issues are going to be mining taxes, carbon emissions and controversial plans to put an internet filter on everything Australians look at on the web.

Will Abbott oust the PM from Wales? Or will the Family First Party take a shock win? Odds as follows:

• Australian Labour Party        1/8
• Liberal National Coalition     4/1
• Australian Greens     100/1
• Family First Party     250/1
