    i'm not a huge fan of Gillard, especially the way the whole Rudd fiasco played out. i mean she made out initially that she was all sugar and spice and all things nice and wasn't interested in the leadership and that her loyalties lay with Kevin Rudd. well, we know now how that all panned out don't we.

    whilst not a huge fan of some of labors policies, i do think that Kevin Rudd did not deserve to go out like that. he did some good things that Aussies should be proud of that no one else had the balls to do (withdrawal of troops from iraq and his real, meaningful and heartfelt apology to the stolen generations). i think the whole thing could have been handled better. he at least deserved that.

    how is the whole Rudd/Gillard thing any different to Trunbull ousting Nelson, and then Abbott ousting Turnbull?
    no different in my mind

    who said it was any different? i'm just making an observation that this might affect the way some people vote, especially with the legacy that Rudd left behind.

    not really. basically just a more complicated vote for labor.

    Hey mike don't worry in my country we have an expensive election every 10 minutes so the current leader can try again and again to get a majority government. "Didn't get the majority this time, Steve" "HOLD ANOTHER ELECTION!" :roll:

    Going to be a dull campaign led by two equally dull leaders.

    For me it's going to be a matter of voting to keep someone out, rather than get someone in.
    Come to send, not condescend...

    same as 07. if my dog was the labor leader, she still wouldve beaten johnny. its all very uninspiring!

    dont forget fellow aussies... julia is trying to move us forward. im thinking that means well end up somewhere around new zealand.

    i would vote for the libs if tony promises never ever again to wear speedos or lycra.

    i wont vote green cause as someone else pointed out thats just like voting labor but in a roundabout way.

    i was reading that the economy is actually doing quite well in australia ... is that true? ... if so, wouldn't that have something to do with ex-pm rudd's work? ...
