    But soooo not as annoying as K Rudd - as someone else said on here - he tried to talk like a mate to people and ended up sounding like a real twit. He was never really on my fav. PM list....hope Julia Gillard does a better job. (Although I too am not complaining about the cash handouts he gave!)


    'Fair suck of the sav' was hilarious (or whatever it was he tried to say)

    OMG! It really was!!! Classic! I know he tried hard, but seriously.....he just sounded stupid when he spoke, even though everyone knew he wasn't.

    That's what he SHOULD have said, instead he blurted out "Fair shake of the sauce bottle!"...and it happened more than once. Who says that??? Oh dear. :shock:

    Didn't he say it both???


    But Gillard just said, what was more unlikely a red haired pm or a woman?

    Geez is she doing the ranga jokes for us?? J/K ;)

    I think it was coming, considering we have female premiers. I think she will bring a lot of good to the leadership position, as a female she has a different perspective especially as she is working in such a male dominated field. But time will tell. Go for it Julia.

    I would love to have seen how ROve would pay her out. THat K rudd ting he had was hilarious.

    Well she has been sworn in. Looked so awkward, neither quentin or Julia looked comfortable.

    Well it'd be kinda like booting your captain from the team and taking his place straight away...especially if he was your mate too. I think a very stressful and tension filled day. But Quentin Bryce always maintains composure and is very dignified in her role.
    Heck if I was JG, I would be wanting to hit the pub....a nice stiff f=drink.


    Oh FARK now Abbotts having his bitch n whinge..blah blah blah. Here goes the hypocrisy speech.....seriously sometimes politics really is like a day at high school. :roll:

    If Abbott becomes pm, you can tell he would be the puppet, and others just pulling the strings. He is pretty stupid.

    It was funny in one of the ac nielson polls, Libs were ahead but rudd was still preferred pm

    Don't buy your tickets, he's become a total sell out. Almost like as if Pearl Jam started covering Creed songs.

    No-one is more disappointed about Peter Garrett's political performance than me. It seems the party machine has tamed him (or constrained him). Back in the day he was one of those I admired and looked up to, he could do no wrong, he was passionate about issues, he was cheeky (Performing in front of the exxon building) he was honest and he fought hard for what he believed in. And he was part of one of the most legendary bands to ever come out of Australia. I've spent many a night chanting 'Oils, Oils, Oils' in pubs, clubs and concert halls. But it appears the reality of what you need to do to get into politics and what you then need to do to stay there has dawned on him.

    The truth may be that he is trying to change the system from within and holding his fire until he is able to use it effectively, but for those of us on the outside, it looks suspiciously like he is being controlled by the party machine and diplomacy and expedience has replaced honesty and passion. I truly hope I am wrong and that one day he is leader of the ALP and is able to make politics a better, more honest, more caring ideal, but right now he looks like just another guy in a suit saying whatever he has to say to hold onto power. Just ask Rob Hirst what he thinks of Peter Garrett the politician.

    I rarely trust wikipedia, but this is pretty spot on:

    Any questions you wish to ask, fire away, I'm happy to answer them. :)

    That sounds like a lot of fun! You should start a new thread "Questions I'd like to ask the Aussies!" ;)
