Australia has always called itself to be living and practising democracy. Like in the past, on the 21st of August 2010 it also organised an expensive election funded by taxpayers recently where about 14 million Australians went to vote to choose the person and the government of their choice. An opportunity where they can express [...]

Forget Tony Abbot, forget Julia Gillard. At the moment everyone’s eyes are at three independent MPs: Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott and Bob Katter. All three have no party of their own to call their party and are independent from one another; yet major political parties are [...]
Among the total of 150 seats in the Australian Parliament, Coalition won 73 seats, Labor 72; remaining 5 seats were won by 4 independents and 1 Green. But no individual party won the majority or minimum of 76 seats to form the government on its own.
This is what all the fuss has been about since [...]
Hung Parliament explained: Labor losing its legitimacy to govern the nation effectively. This is what happens when the government is incompetent to run the country. Everything is so confusing: Within their own government and party about the leadership, policies, direction, vision. They are confused themselves and confusing the people and the nation.
Another reason for hung [...]
Australians woke up with buzz in the ears from radio, television, internet and newspapers the word: Hung Parliament. To some this was a new word, hearing it for the first time. Some have heard it once few months ago during the UK election. And for some voters who knew about the hung parliaments was not [...]
Australia is a sovereign nation, well able to make its own decisions and run the country with own people, education, government, currency, business, industries, banks and laws. Australia should make its own decision in all matters and more firmly on refugee and boat people. Temporary protection visas will be great idea for those who are [...]
Hung Parliament: Will Australia follow the UK? Australia and the UK seem to flow the same way when it comes to politics and changes. Look at Thatcher and Major’s long rule, which came to an end when Blair became the Prime Minister. In Australia Howard became the Prime Minister ending Hawke and Keating’s long rule. [...]
Being wrong sometimes is one thing but being wrong again and again and again? It just shows Gillard is the voice and puppet for the union just to win the election for one more term. As soon as I hear Julia Gillard or Labor, it always reminds me of debt, not just of single Australian [...]
Julia Gillard maybe over with Kevin Rudd, but Kevin Rudd is not over with Julia Gillard yet. Until death or UN job do depart us from the political assassination of Mr Rudd by Gillard. Julia Gillard would like to think everybody may have forgotten her back stabbing, but Kevin Rudd is not the one who [...]
Is this what Julia Gillard’s speech is all about when she says moving forward? Julia Gillard’s speech about moving forward is really moving Australia backward which she proved with her action by stabbing publicly elected Prime Minister of Australia, just to try and keep the Labor in power to move Australia further backward in debt. [...]
Little Julia Gillard should grow up – Top Job is not about pointing fingers and saying what he or she said. It is about what you can deliver better than your opponent rather than diverting public’s attention to the other side when you are loosing your own direction.
Peter Costello is not running this election so [...]
Is Julia Gillard naïve or arrogant? Will she be willing to accept the report that she made a mistake and the BER was a failure? She has declared she has no regrets about her $16 billion Building the Education Revolution scheme despite a report saying it was wasteful. She also said she will still do [...]

Former Prime Minister John Howard slammed Prime Minister Julia Gillard as “even bigger failure” than Kevin Rudd, the man she replaced. When Gillard and the Labor party dumped Mr Rudd she was installed to fix three things: mining tax, climate change [...]
Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard need each other but don’t trust each other. Both of them needs each other more now than any other times, they cannot but lean against each other just like their how to ruin the country in 10 days ads. Gillard wants to be the Prime Minister and Rudd wants to [...]
Fifteen questions for Kevin Rudd:
1.Do you want to be prime minister again?
2. What job do you want if the Labor is re-elected?
3. Why did it take you so long to come out and back Julia Gillard’s campaign?
4. Do you think your government had lost its way?
5. Do you trust Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan?
6. Do [...]
