Our politicians are courting the myspace and facebook generation

Both the current commonwealth government and opposition have myspace websites to encourage the younger or the more net switched on generation to join the voting revolution. Whilst in Australia voting is compulsory in America its not and politicians have to push the proverbial leaky barrel up a hill to get voters inspired enough to come out and vote on polling day so staying connected to a new batch of voters is very important and web based campaigning is becoming important for all politicians around the world.
In Australia, just like the USA the web is used as tool for political announcements, speech replays and the biggest use of websites now is attracting political donations.
