"I actually believe in a big Australia I make no apology for that. I actually think it's good news that our population is growing,"- Australian Prime minister Kevin Rudd 2007-2010

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Prime_Ministers_of_Australia_by_time_in_off...


Parties by time in office

Liberal Party of Australia - 15332 days
Australian Labor Party - 12490 days
Nationalist Party - 5142 days
United Australia Party - 3505 days (Party Deregistered)
Protectionist Party - 2442 days
Commonwealth Liberal Party - 783 days
Free Trade Party - 322 days (Party Deregistered)
Country Party - 84 days

For Australia's oldest party, Labor are yet to serve the longest time in government.

Labor do however hold the record for Australia's shortest serving PM...The honourable Francis Michael Forde,being in office for only eight days.

“The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.” Adolph Hitler

In lay terms-  You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.


Anyone else getting tired of hearing what you want to hear, exactly when you want to hear it, only to never hear another thing about it after the election?

I think Labor takes the cake in terms of recycling electoral pie-crust promises and similar sounding slogans, my god, they aren't even trying to be original, perhaps even intentionally repetitious?

Tell me, is it 2007 or 2010?

Same old party, same old slogans, same old promises written in the same invisible ink which disappears shortly after the election.

Cool Amazing!
