The Australian election campaign has shown the internet is becoming an integral part of the political landscape, with politicians, activists and comedians all using it to have their voice heard.
Even before the Australian election was called six weeks ago, websites such as MySpace’s Impact and MyElection.au, Google’s Election 2007 and Kevin07.com were up and running, in an attempt to better debate, inform and persuade the electorate.
For some, the use of the internet for political debate and discussion was overdue.
