mmmm who to choose for the liberals, Nelson is a dark horse but I believe he once joined the labor party which could be a problem. Tony Abbott is a grub, and I'm afraid Julia Gillard just chews him up every time they debate. In fact I am surprised she did not thank him in her speech for being the best help to the labor victory during the election campaign. Does not leave much to choose from does it .... I will think about it. :d

Re: Looks like Australia is #$#ed
I'm not very fammiliar with politics.. at all. But from the sounds of it, i have the perception of Kevin as a 'Flanders' and John Howard as 'Mr Burns'.

Re: Looks like Australia is #$#ed
Well I apologise for my initial post, I’m not normally the kind of person who judges without evidence.
In fact, I have had a complete turn around and have decided to keep an open mind about the changes that will come, I still don't like the unions (Just like communism, they are good in theory, but when they are run by morons/greedy a$$holes they don't work) I guess the change was inevitable, a large amount of the voters just wanted change and have no idea what to expect (Could be good, could be bad, its been too long since labour was in to judge the current party) Oh well, I guess we will just see how it pans out!

I know, the Democrats will be completely gone when the senate changes in July. Far from keeping the bastards honest, more like keep themselves relevant.

Re: Looks like Australia is #$#ed
Joe did that? Wow. I can just imagine the irate people behind him honking incessantly... but good on him. Like you say - he's much younger than most leaders. I think this is part of why I like him. I'm young, I want someone with ideas about my future, not the generation above mine. We need to start moving forward, dramatically. I only hope Rudd delivers, and even he (20 something years younger than Howard) is still too old to be in touch with my generation. Of course, this is my own personal opinion... take it with a grain of salt.
Julie Bishop? Hrmm.. don't know much about her. I'm only starting to dabble in Politics, so much to learn! Oh - and a LOL @ the Democrats new slogan... |

Re: Looks like Australia is #$#ed
Hey Mem!
Johnny boy? He's been PM for 11.5 years. Workchoices seems so unpopular. No ratifying Kyoto (targets, etc) Not staying full term. Just... too old. That's my view, anyway. |
