Well, as if she was going to come out and say 'Well actually, he's a total c*&t and I think the country will go to hell if he gets in power'. :)

I mean, that would have been hilarious but I'm sure Labor probably would have lost pretty much every seat they were contesting as a result!

As you can see, the ALP are rather un-Australian, quite disgusting really.

She even hates our Australian accent, so the anti-Australian sentiment and apparent self-loathing has trickled down from the prince of darkness himself, Paul Keating.

Paul Keating, Feb 27, 1992.

Rubbish - it's true - in Singapore -
the Poms surrendered to a rag tag half starved army of Japs
which was only half of their number - bloody cowards.

How embarrassing it is for an Australian to read such an unjustified, uninformed and bitter accusation from the mouth of  an Australian Prime Minister.

There were 38 infantry battalions involved in the defence of Malaya—17 Indian, 13 British, six Australian and two Malayan, as well as three machine-gun battalions.

In addition, the battleships HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse and four destroyers were sent to Malaya just before the Japanese began their air assaults.

These were sent by a power almost alone in fighting the might of Germany in Europe, with Russia allied to Hitler and the United States neutral.

And far from abandoning Australia, Singapore was after Pearl Harbour the seat of the hastily established joint  American-British-Dutch-Australian Command, code name ABDACOM, the supreme command for all Allied forces in South East Asia led  by British General Sir Archibald Wavell.

Although short lived, ABDACOM was the first of the combined Allied commands established during the war.


These were not the acts of a power about to abandon Australia.

 
This was not the first time that Paul Keating had displayed his apparent ignorance of history.

He  had previously claimed  that the Australian constitution was drafted in and imposed by the British Foreign Office.

But in Parliament in 1992, as Prime Minister,  he launched a particularly  hostile and baseless attack on Great Britain.

Had this been directed at any other power, it would have become a major diplomatic incident.

Reflecting their maturity and sophistication, the British obviously decided not to react.

"We set ourselves this first goal: by 1990 no Australian child will be living in poverty," Mr Hawke said on June 23, 1987 at an election campaign launch.

"On many occasions for many months, Federal Labor has made it crystal clear that we are committed to retaining all of the existing Private health Insurance rebates, including the 30 per cent general rebate and the 35 and 40 per cent rebates for older Australians.”

“The Liberals continue to try to scare people into thinking Labor will take away the rebates. This is absolutely untrue."

Nicola Roxon, 2007.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Treasurer Wayne Swan has admitted the government will break election promises in Tuesday's federal budget.

It is understood Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will break his promise before the last election not to touch the 30 per cent private health insurance rebate as part of the government's assault on middle-class welfare.

In a budget measure leaked this week, singles earning more than $74,000 and couples on over $150,000 a year will lose their rebate on a sliding scale.

And in a double blow, those who opt out of private health insurance will be hit with a higher Medicare levy surcharge.

The Age, May 2009.

And they wonder why they became the first one term Government in over 70 years to lose a majority after less than 3 years??

You deny the facts that I put.

The Japanese army was only half the number of the British Army - undeniable.
The Japs were half starved - undeniable - they had to march through jungle for days
with limited supplies of everything.
The POMs were well fed - well defended & had plenty of ammunition.
It was a total disgrace & even Churchill said that.

The command to do this came from no lesser an identity than Lachlan Murdoch who was reported as telling his editors to

always did think he had a mouth like a drain! and that proves it.

You're right cods, he is a disgusting man.

His comments about Britain and the WW2 situation showed he was unsuited to a position that required diplomacy.

Some people are just not from the right background to be leaders.

Quote from 2010 -

"I'll say again, I was elected to do a job as Prime Minister of Australia by the people of Australia. I was not elected by factions of the Australian Labor Party, though they may be seeking to do a job on me.

I intend to carry on doing that job and will be contesting the ballot tomorrow.
