"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd replaced by Red-Headed Woodpecker
Julia's voice makes scratching on a blackboard, sound good! .....and yes she is a commie, and no we will not be that better off, she is the Unions choice, and of course the left-wing media is sooooo happy!
Much more like my auntie than previously suspected, then. You can be a capable, caring nurse and a damn good fisherman and still be batshit crazy in other ways!
After I linked this post on Twitter, there's a growing "Draft Paco" movement afoot. When are you gonna come over to the dark side and finally start tweeting, Paco?
KRudd was a "transnational Progressive" type, but utterly ineffective. A good thing (the ineffectiveness), methinks.
Our new Prime Ranga Joolia is more of an "old school" hard-core socialist. And rather more effective, I'll bet. Not so good...
OTOH, in her "inauguration" speech she threw quite a few bones to the "Howard battlers" (the socially conservative, upwardly mobile working and middle classes that repeatedly voted for John Howard). Maybe she realises that she will have to curb the "progressives" in the Labor Party to regain broad appeal.
She did say that the ETS (Emmisions Trading scheme/Cap'n'Trade) was on the back burner for the moment -- a somewhat pragmatic position.
We shall see...
I suspect she'll lose the next election, but even though I oppose (to my very core) her general political positions, she's a far worthier politician to be PM than KRudd.
Twitter, eh? Well, I've been studyin' on it, but I dunno. I wouldn't be able to tweet during the day because of work. And then there's the whole problem of even being engaged in something called "tweeting". Sounds kinda metrosexual.
Except for she's a bloodnut, a resemblance to my auntie. Capable of many things but loony as they come in others.
ReplyDeleteSo, an improvement, I hope?
She probably eschews earwax snacks, prairiecat. Beyond that, I'm guessing not an improvement.
ReplyDeleteJust wait till you here her voice.
ReplyDeleteAnd she's a commie

ReplyDeleteSorry it's not better, Merilyn.

ReplyDeleteYour concise, terse, pithy style was MADE for Twitter's 140-or-fewer-characters format! I second spot_the_dog's emotion. :D
ReplyDeleteA mixed blessing for us here in Oz, perhaps...

Maybe now she can afford to have her vowels inflated, huh?
