Australia laughing stock of the World

[Feuer Frei!]

Politics in Australia is laughable.

Kevin Rudd has ousted Prime Minister Julia Gillard as leader of Australia's Labor party.
He won 57 votes in a leadership ballot called by Ms Gillard. Ms Gillard received 45 votes.

3 years of Gillard, who backstabbed Rudd and did a worse job than what Rudd did before her.


Now we've gone full circle, Rudd finally gets the votes to contest the leadership.


Bah! What a joke.

Go Liberals.
T. Abbott will STILL have a field day and the Labour Party will still suffer a heavy heavy loss at the Federal Election.


Good. Down with Unions!


And down with misapropriation of funds.

The Surplus which the Liberals built up, and Labour, as per usual ran into a deficit.


What a joke.

Pleased to see the back of Dullard and also great to see Senator Stephen Conjob resigning as the inept Minister for Miscommunication.

But back to the future with KRudd? Seriously? Have they developed collective amnesia as to why they stabbed him in the back three years ago?

Hope to hear tomorrow that the election will be brought forward to August to allow us to give KRudd the elbow.

Mind you the MadMonk is not much of an option either, but at least a couple of his mob can add up.

So your failure of a PM was voted out of the office and replaced by another failure of a PM, which was ousted and replaced by the first failure of a PM ???

Copycats, we've done it 2 years ago and not only that we've done full circle, we ousted the PM and replaced it with another failure of a PM

Sounds as chaotic as our lot over here....don't vote, it only encourages the buggas

Okay, I gotta try and keep this breif as I need to hit the hay, been at the pub watching Qld. crush the Blues and I'm starting a new new job tomorrow .

Personally, I'm sad to see her go. Yes, I know labor made some silly decisions whilst in power but overall I'm proud of what they have achieved regarding the bigger picture.

I saw promise in the labor government untill Rudd started spruiking his 'big Australia' policy. That's about when Gillard took controll. Honestly, anyone with his head out of his arse can see that the world is over populated and that resources are being squandered with potentially catastrophic consequences.

Since she came to power Gillard has introduced: the 'resources tax' (i work in the resources sector mind you) (so now we stand to make some money from the ground we dig up and sell to the Chineese), The carbon trading scheme (which I'm proud as punch of), Showing the world we are prepared to leed the way in tackling climate change, allbeit with a floored system but that has paved the way for other nations to improve on what we tried.

So much to say but flagging quick;

What a gutsy leader, shes got my vote anyday.

And....seriously, Abbott? Every time he opens his mouth he makes himself look like an idiot!

As far as a laughing stock goes, I'm happy with our government; the opposition, however, may well be your laughng stock for all of time.

Don't be such a drama queen Steed. You know, if she knit you a sweater, you'd wear it with pride.

Oy, at least your government didn't have one of it's dirtiest little secrets outed by a junior analyst.

You have some catching up to do.

She may not have been the ideal 'Dear Leader' for Oz, but I think only DPRK actually get that. For the countries in the rest of the world we get some half-arsed, money grabbing, responsibility-shirking expletive no matter who we voted for.

At least she's not 'W'.

I'm just pleased she's history.
