  • You mean "ranga, miss..."
    but this isn't the ginger thread...

  • I'm just on the wind up. I don't read Aussie press but get a feeling from Aus mates on twitter there's some shitty politics going on at the moment. Not that most politics ain't shitty.

  • Wtf is up with that cover? That's like anti-feminism? I am so confused by her. As far as I can tell (and I would like to be corrected) she is an awful person who looks good in the reflection of the only more awful misogynist asses in parliament.

  • Pretty much...

  • Who cares, K-Rudd is BACK

  • Fair shake of the sauce bottle...

  • Is he though? Gillard has to step down. She said she would but..

    Is Rudd any good? WTF is happening over there anyway?

  • Lord knows, I can't follow it...
    Anyone summarise?!

  • My understanding of this is:

    Rudd - liked by the electorate, hated within the party.
    Gillard - liked by the party, hated by the electorate.

    The ALPs approval rating shows that they will not win another election and they are now currently leaderless as Gillard has no mandate from the party and Rudd is not PM yet. In order for Rudd to become PM he will need to be recommended by Gillard to the Governor General who will approve the decision he will then face a vote in parliament which is reliant on independents voting to approve him. If that vote fails there will be another election. If Gillard refuses to recommend him who knows what the fuck will happen.

    Gillard has pledged to retire from parliament but even if she does not she is likely finished.

    The big question is, what noise is Kevin Rudd making here:

    A. pewpewpew!
    B. Fonzie noises.

  • He's describing the size of something.

    He is the Prime Minister Designate. Gillard has recommended to the GG that Rudd be installed. It is unlikely that the GG would contravene that recommendation, though she could.

    The vote in Parlaiment will only occur if ordered by Bryce, or if Abbot puts a No Confidence motion. He wouldn't answer the question of whether he would (because he's a snake), but implied that it may happen if Rudd delayed the election.

    Or something like that...

    In short, our country is presided over by a bunch of self-serving arseholes

  • Hewitt knocked out by a nobody. Not awesome.

    How come they don't dress like butchers anymore? Strong look that.

  • books flight to London

    Yay, at least one good thing is coming out of it. :)

  • I didn't much like Gillard but Rudd again? Seriously?!

    Not awesome Aussies.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ At least she can now focus on her knitting.

  • I didn't much like Gillard but Rudd again? Seriously?!

    Not awesome Aussies.

    They're stuck in a Rudd because of all that sexist K.Rudd that Gillard has had thrown at her.

  • ^ Oh Oliver, you are good!

  • How come they don't dress like butchers anymore? Strong look that.

    We have lost our way as a nation.

    Having said that, we have our first female goal umpire adjudicating matches now, and so far, no other umpire has tried to depose her.

    Yay, at least one good thing is coming out of it. :)

    I am doing this
