To say I'm extremly disapointed, is the understatment of the century. The chances of Labor winning the election was extremely thin, I didn't have a lot of faith in the australian people to make the correct decision, but i was holding hope. We had the chance to turn this great nation back in the right direction, but no.
You would think that a prime minister that sends us to war, introduces a new tax on everything, is clearly anti-environment, and has lied and deceived the people in numerous occasions, been caught out and not once apologised for it, wouldn't have much of a chance to win government again.
But little Jonnie knew what he was doing, bribe the populous with money, $1000 for every new child, $800 to all apprentices to buy tools, tax cuts to the wealthier 10%, and scare you into believing that interest rates will rise with a Labor government ( watch them go up regardless of who is in power).....and the little monkey wins again.
It's greed isn't it? People don't give a shit about the environment, about the sick, the elderly, the poor, about world peace, they just care about their own selfish needs.
They will ignore and condone a war over $800 in their pockets to buy a few new hammers and nails, they will sacrifice our environment over not wanting to pay higher fees to send their children to a private school.
Well...here is too another 3 years of a Howard government and 3 years to finish destroying this once great nation. I want to still call myself Australian, but how does one do that when your leader represents everything you are against?..easy..
I'm Australian, and he is not.
Now I look forward to another wonderful day, ..the American election in November. Howard can now continue to ruin our nation, but if Bush wins you can look forward to the further destruction of this planet.....sounds pretty dramatic doesn't it? Not at all, people this is fuckin serious. Bush WILL destroy the US and the rest of the world with it...but i have greater trust in the american people to make the right choice and not be fooled by lies, as us australians have done.
