The discussion centers on seeking information about the 2007 Australian Federal Election. The original poster is struggling to find resources and is looking for both academic papers and news articles. Respondents suggest several valuable websites, including Crikey, ABC News, and a political blog by a PhD political scientist, which contain relevant archives and links to other political blogs. The conversation reveals a shared interest in Australian politics, with the original poster confirming their Australian identity and expressing a shift from research to personal interest in the topic. Additional requests for links to other prominent blogs indicate a desire for a broader understanding of the political landscape during that election period.
