Was it not the Rudd government that put the pension age up?.  Was 65 now put up to 67.   :( 

He's gone!   Just two runs on the board and OUT ... Rudd has fallen to a sidewinding ball from Ira Taited-Publick ....  he's on his way back to the pavilion and a well-earned rest for the crowd here today..... his batting today has been nothing short of appalling, and only the finest of wickets even kept him in the game.... at the end of his innings he actuly trumped his own wicket ... caught behind while attempting a sweeping criticism of an incoming fast and hard ball president....

Next batsman up is Aleck Shawn - say it quickly - and this should be an interesting innings.... Rudd benefited from far too many No Balls and still failed at the bat despite some outstanding support from Cronies at the other end..... altogether a very sad day for Australian cricket... but no tears for Rudd's dismissal.... the crowd is cheering, but not for Rudd... AT him .... and it's jeering ...

Now a short word from our sponsor......

Straight into another sweet earner.... for doing nothing real but bringing down his own country to match Asiatics living in Hovel City.  They're not all well-heeled Chinese, you know - most are dirt poor, and Rudd is the classic example of someone made rich out of the public purse in several ways.

ASIA - the part of the world you do not want to belong with.... or bring to your own living rooms ....

Kevvie had the Chinese pegged ...

“Those Chinese F&%$ers are trying to rat-f&%$ us!” declared Kevin Rudd.   ;D ;D ;D

Was it not the Howard, Abbott and Trudbull governments that blocked super gaurantee increases that made it necessary?

Tens of millions of Australians could have self retired taking pressure off of the pension for a hundred years.

Reports from  the Australian embassy indicate that they just couldn’t find staff willing to “serve “ him anymore so he had to fall?

Like this outburst from now over entitled son of a Nambour dairy farmer.


Quote:

In April 2009, then-Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd apologized for a "mid-air meltdown" where he reportedly reduced a 23-year-old female RAAF flight attendant to tears. The incident occurred in January 2009 on a flight from Port Moresby to Canberra, triggered by the unavailability of a special non-red-meat meal he requested.

The prick needs being sent back to an older style dairy farm where he has to get up at 4 in the morning to milk 7 day a week.

But I bet he was a shyte on the farm when he was a kid too.

Did this originate from your seventh planet ? Did you pull it from Uranus ?

So, who'll replace him?

Who wants to spend the next three years licking Trump's balls?

Apart from Frank, aquascoot and Bobby, that is.

I nominate Aquascoot for ambassador.

Rudd was probably the worst Labor PM but is is strange how the Worst Labor PM's are still better than the best Liberal leaders.

Awr, Christ - not another loser who couldn't make it in the real world by hard work.... haven't any of 'the kind' noticed the turning of the tides in EVERY stupid ideological war?   The Persians are booting the Islamists up the arse and we're still coddling whining sheilas who ar destroying the fabric of our culture and society ....... the trannies are being shown the gate... and we're still licking feminist nuts .....

Hope replacement is Dan Andrews

Dan Andrews is a wannabe communist dictator.    ::)

Rudd is a bungling incompetent.

Both Labor crazies.   ::)

I suspect that Albo will suddenly need to spend more time with his family and move into the job and squeaky clean Jim charming will be  our prime minister.

I think that will actually help them be re-elected.

Albo is completely on the nose now

;D

Albo will lead Labor to an increased majority next election , heard it here first  :)
