Julia v Kevin (ALP Caucus leadership ballot Monday 27 Feb 2012)

Submitted by Sha8doW on Sat, 25/02/2012 - 09:48.

In light of the media shitstorm which is Australian politics (which is a no policy shamble on both sides) the former ousted PM Kevin Rudd is challenging the Incumbent PM Julia Gillard – it’s obvious Kevin is popular (more then Julia) with the people, Julia is popular (more then Kevin) with her internal party)

The party is the ones who get to vote in this instance…
Calls to your local member are the best way to have your voice heard, no matter what option you want!

So who would you vote for (I know its bizarre in Aus, we vote for a local member, who is part of a party who gets the majority, who in turn has a leader, but I’d be interested to see people’s thoughts on the top job)

I don’t want to start a political debate!!!! And it won’t be tolerated! But I want people’s thoughts, opinions and contributions everyone’s is valid! And just cause they aren’t the same as yours, doesn’t mean they aren’t thought provoking!

I’m also interested to hear from the NZ’ers… Not so much from a vote, but from the perspective “how much media attention is this “soap opera” getting in your country? Ad what is your understanding and perception of the situation!?

Thanks!
(and remember an arguing, I’ll sort you all out!!!)

Shads thoughts

With what looks more like us US presidential primary (for those who know the us system) I’m gunna be inclined to say Kevin!

I don’t really have an issue with Julia, or women… But I do have an issue with Tony Abbott, and the Lack of Policy’s – specifically the way he appears in the media as a “hater” and just appears as diametric opposed to any policy… Even the good ones! (my main concern is ensuring the NBN)

I don’t like the situation, but I believe the polls that say Kevin has the best chance of winning the next election. And i don’t want to risk the loss of the NBN,

I’m disappointed with the lack of bipartisan politics for the godd of the nation, rather then the current Red vs Blue approach. Which is just stupid! We’ve got people defending the indefencible…. With an interest to make the other side look bad rather then having good policy!

I also think this isn’t making media overseas.. But I’ll stand corrected!
Also I think we should be looking at changing our system, taking the good out of the current/US system and re-writing it…
Just my thoughts, I welcome others views!

I really dont like any of them...

I think we need a total reshuffle… get rid of the lot and start again.

The economy will always exist! It’s just the strength which varies I’m assuming thats what you mean here;)
Plus the sucky thing that is becoming very clear is how small the world really is…. The economic crisis in Europe is starting to play havoc with across the world! China is even getting worried now!
But what can we do? How do we bring a country who’s been living so far outside its means back into control?
Then when it’s time to tighten the belt, they rage and riot… And destroy local shops… (that’s productive? Retail is down. Smashing their front windows and burning their advertisements is Gunna help, retards! Pay your bloody taxes, it at optional for the rest of the world,) a person is smart, people are dumb, panicky dangerous!
