krisb Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The PM makes no difference when you voted for the party. Anyhow if they change leader, its just a different lemon, same tree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Labor still won't win with Rudd, polls indicate it will be a lot closer contest. Many high profile pollies will be saved from annilhation!

BookMan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Rudd has a different vision than Gillard. She should have stepped down a couple of months back. Labor has zero chance of winning under her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chao Lao Beach Posted June 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Wonder what the $ cost to us tax payers is for this vote? To get rid of her and her cronies, I think the tax payers just had a relief Good Luck to Mr Rudd. (That is not a supporting labor comment, it is just nicer to see the Witch and her bitches run and to see a better election) The Donkey Vote is still leading the way though, if anything just to protest the requirement to vote. I believe it should be your decision to vote or not to vote, why encourage the bastards. I wish it was Rudd vrs Turnball actually. Both have brains. He should be leading the Libs instead of that Abbot complete utter nut case freak show hypercritical bible basher ^$#@%.

She will go down in Australian political History as the 1st woman P.M and the worst P.M You'd have to rate Labor almost zero chance of winning.....perhaps with more time under Rudd they would have been a chance. I heard Rudd trying using the Workchoices under Liberal line in an interview before the vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 One of Gillards most embarrassing public relations exercises was when she went out to the Western Suburbs of Sydney for a week to meet some real voters. Unfortunately she forgot to actually interact with the locals... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayboy Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Reports are saying Rudd has been returned to the PM job. May call an election in August. General election now confirmed for September.When in a parliamentary system the leadership changes without recourse to the people it's necessary to obtain a popular mandate quickly - something that some grappling with the parliamentary system in Thailand had difficulty grasping.

Chao Lao Beach Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Rudd needs a sledge hammer now. (For internal Labour hammering) I think one of his motivating bits, was Cambell in QLD and how much of a complete prick his team is acting, also Labor is likely to control the senate under Rudd. I doubt he be PM after the election to be honest. Rudd stands up to the Labor power brokers who control that group. I 100% wish that Rudd & Turnball stated a new party 6 months ago !!! Glad to see that Garret swan away........ This whole situation makes crazy Katter look normal Edited June 26, 2013 by Chao Lao Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust Never Sleeps Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Kevin Rudd recently changed his views on same-sex marriage. I hope that he introduces in his short tenure as PM a conscience vote on same-sex marriage because Abbott will keep Australia in the dark ages and deny equality for gays and lesbians.
