Default Bye Bye Kevin Rudd!! Welcome 1st female PM

Well, we all loved the Wizard of Oz. Most of us loved the cute little Munchkins as the sung and jumped about. My most favourite part was when they sung!

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

Other than the fact that Kevin Rudd is male, a term I use very loosely, the song very much fits him, lol.

This morning at 10AM the ALP (Australian Labour Party) took a vote of no confidence in their own party leader, Kevin Rudd, the Prime Minister of Australia. The result was his COLOSSAL defeat and the installment of his former deputy, Julia Gillard, as the new Prime Minister. Australia's first Female Prime Minister. Let's all hope that she can fix his mistakes; i.e everything he has ever touched.

That's awesome.

Canada's first female PM was an interim PM as well.

There are much more important issues than gay marriage at the moment. If she handles the mining tax, healthcare and the CPRS well then I couldn't give a damn if she doesn't legalise gay marriage. If anyone thought that Julia Gillard was going to be the Prime Minister in which gay marriage was made legal was always going to have a dissappointment coming well before she was elected to the office of Prime Minister it was her policy that marriage was one man and one woman.

She is still way better than Tony "gay people intimidate me" Abbott.

She isn't actually an interim.

I couldn't help but mention this series on Youtube called "Kevin Rudd PM" that is very very funny, and I don't even know to much about the guy. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially any Australians!

Thatcher was the greatest thing to happen to the UK since Churchill... the greatest thing since, too.

I will shed no tears over Rudd's departure, but Gillard scares me more than he ever did.

I have not heard that, yet there are much more important issues facing this country at the moment such as the proposed mining tax, refugees, education and health as well as the economy.

Julia Gillard is an leftist in her party and and she could be open to the idea of gay civil unions.

What about Gillard that scares you more than Rudd?

Rudd was a pompous windbag, but ultimately did very little in terms of anything worthy of merit (aside from plunging my nation into debt, agian, and wasting the budget surplus he inherited from the previous government). He was little more than a glorified mouth piece for the ALP.

Gillard, on the other hand, is a thinker, and thinker's inside the ALP come up with bad ideas all the time. Moreso, her popularity scares me because it makes it harder for our conservative party to overthrow her.

That's your opinion, one you are welcome to. Mine is the polar opposite.

Yep, that is Rudd. Everything in that parody is true... even dances like him!
