- Abstract
The article discusses the national politics of Australia in 2007. Following the elections of October 1, 2006, the only political option remaining was a coalition government between the Social Democratic party of Austria (SPÖ) and the Christian democratic Austrian People's Party (FPÖ), the author states. Topics include promises made by the SPÖ during the election campaign, the coalition negotiations, and the establishment of a "grand coalition." The lowering of the voting age from 18 to 16 years for the right to vote for the Federal President is also discussed.
