That we (Horsetralians) have a new Prime Minister. Its been all over the news apparently, man I havent switched on a TV in like two years. It wasnt an election is was some kind of shifty power play thing, and I cant really be bothered reading up on the 'why?' No idea what the last one did or didnt do The new one menstruates, our first menstrual PM (PM PMS ) Kind of sad it took us this long to get our first girl boss
Elections are like that in Canada, too. That's why Australians and Canadians are bros. Also, wanna trade Prime Ministers? Ours is boring!
I meant in the sense that someone may never know when an election is going on because no one talks about it.
They force you to vote here. Well, they force you with a threat of a $25 fine that nobody bothers chasing you up on if you dont pay, its brutal
oh yeah. i wasn't paying attention to that, either. i'm vague on how it works. was there a "no confidence" vote, and if so, what is that? it's one of those phrases i've always meant to look into since i dropped out of college in the 90's. it all seemed pretty interesting.
Haven't Turned My T.V On In Over 18 months, Very Much Doubt Iv'e Missed Anything....:coffee: Cheers Glen.
Hey Gorilla face, you made fun of me being Welsh not too long ago pray tell, where does your new Prime Minister come from!??
Oopsy daisy....my bad. Anyway, congrats on the Babe Fearless Leader. I am sure she will fuck up your country as well or better than any man can.
The Aussies have a female prime minister? I'm so sorry Is it too late to send her back to the kitchen?
It actually was an easy coup for her as she had overwhelming support of the party once they challenged Rudd's leadership. Party lines were drawn over his backing out on a bill that would make polluters pay for their carbon emissions, and a proposed tax on resources. It was of course fought by mining companies and he let the bill go. Easy picking after that. Julia Gillard seems to be rather well rounded and she may be able to do much, time will tell of course. My understanding is that she is in until a formal election takes place and that a formal election will be held in the near future. She is expected to win that.
Julia Gillard. I just Googled that and found that she is a ginger. That means that she smells like corned beef and cheats at everything http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071222140553AAJrWzv
She Won't Be There For Very Long, Already She Is Sporting "Knife Nicks" In Her Back..... Tis Only The Bloodsport Called Politics .... Cheers Glen.
