			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new Australian prime minister just declared an election for August 21.</p>
<p>She has only been prime minister for a couple of weeks.  She became prime minister because of a coup in her party, so now she wants to seek a mandate from the Australian public and win a general election.</p>
<p>It looks as though it will be a close election, but I think she will win the election.</p>
<p>Australian federal elections are every 3 years.  In 2007 I was in Osaka, so I voted at the Australian consulate.</p>
<p>Australia is one of the few countries in the world that has compulsory voting &#8211; if you don&#8217;t vote in the election you get fined.</p>
