Legislativeelections were held in Australia on 9 October 2004.
The election result was a triumph for Howard, who in December 2004 became Australia's second-longest serving Prime Minister, and who saw the election result as a vindication of his policies, particularly his decision to join in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
As in all Australianelections, the second-preference votes of minor parties were crucial in determining the outcome of this election, and the close of nominations was followed by a period of bargaining among the parties.
Legislativeelections were held in Australia on 10 November 2001.
The conservative coalition of the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister John Howard and the National Party of Australia led by John Anderson was elected to a third three-year term, defeating the Australian Labor Party led by Kim Beazley.
The September 11 terrorist attacks and the MS Tampa were strong influences in the minds of voters at this election, focusing debate around the issues of asylum seekers and national security.
