Wayne Swan BA (Hons) - University of Queensland.

Strange because I work in Finance and I have a BSc Finance & Accounting.
In fact I don't know anywhere which do Bachelor of Arts in Finance....

What else is wrong?
Obama?
Care to tell me if he spent the most in his first 12 months than any other President in history? Cos that's true as well sadly.....

GMC received US$6bn PER QUARTER in his first six months.

The Candy man.

Sadly Labor in Australia followed suit - Surplus to debt in less than 18 months.
Good going guys....

I did 15 credits of Italian in my first year to cover a gap.
Shall I call myself an 'Italian expert liguist' too?

Incidentally my recollection of that course is piazza is square and calcio is football.
Which is probably on a par with Swan's finance competency despite his 'specialising' in this area.

yes we can .........

disembowel and behead our own party if we win.

Quote:

A senior union leader has predicted a post-election wave of Labor "bloodletting" in a furious backlash over the issue that has overshadowed its campaign: the dumping of Kevin Rudd.

Electrical Trades Union Victorian state secretary, Dean Mighell, said those involved in the axing of the former prime minister would be "targeted" after Saturday's vote.

Mr Mighell, a regular critic of the Labor government, said the ''brutal'' and ''ugly'' disposal of Mr Rudd had turned off some voters.

Much of the retribution would focus on the right-wing of the NSW Labor movement, Mr Mighell said.

The faction's leaders - including Mark Arbib - were widely credited for plotting to oust Mr Rudd in June.

But Mr Mighell also foreshadowed retaliation against figures in the Australian Workers Union, whose former leader, Bill Shorten, was closely linked to getting the numbers to install Julia Gillard as leader.

"I think they've handled it badly, and the truth will come out, and you'll see a lot of bloodletting after the election within the ranks of Labor for people taking responsibility for the way Kevin Rudd was savaged," said Mr Mighell, who was expelled from the ALP before the 2007 election by Mr Rudd.

"I think the NSW Right will be targeted," he told Radio 3AW host Neil Mitchell.......
