@ Joy - Play-by-Play. Your tombstone is apt and we must sit down now and write an Epitaph on "The Day that Australian Democracy Died" as we sung "Bye Bye Miss Australian Pie". Its gob smacking isn't it that the Australian People have sat back and allowed this to occur. Can you imagine what would happen anywhere else in the Western World, where some unknown M'sP with the aid of Unions - of which only 25% (an approximate figure) of our workforce are Members STEAL Democracy from the People. Craig Emerson, unfortunately
my local Member tells us that this "shafting" of Rudd was done in a Democratic manner, well Hello, I don't recall ever being asked if Rudd should be removed; and I bet you a pound to a penny that the Members of said unions involved in this treachery were ever asked to vote on his dismissal. So we have a dozen faceless men, traitors and usurpers of Democracy, making a decision to remove from the highest office in our Country, a man duly elected by the people. Emerson, Gillard, Swann, Shorten and the Union Hacks have conspired with each other to commit this most vile of offences, TREASON; and its not what they have done - because Rudd was doing a terrible job, but the manner in which it was perpetrated. He should have been removed democratically by the electorate, not by 12 faceless men "like thieves in the night". People around the world are laughing at us, and see "we the people - for the people" for what we are - A bunch of weak gutless bastards. Not the Australian Way guys, not the Australian Way. And just in case you didn't get the message - I Am Livid!!!!

The events of last week showed "we the people" just how unscrupulous this current Government really are. @ Joe Rossi summed up how Gillard comes across to the Australian Electorate; he mentioned the continual "drone" in her voice. If I could add another word to your description it would be "moronic" ergo a "moronic drone". I woke this morning with claims from the Pro Labour Media, now "Gillard Promoters" that she had, within a couple of days of ascendency to the Prime Ministerial Throne, become the new "Australian Saviour". This is the same press who, just under 3 years ago, proclaimed Kevin Michael Rudd, to be "the one". I had no time for Rudd; he worked with ex. Premier Wayne Goss and systematically ruined our State. With Rudd it was the beginning of the end. Using the same methodology - the Labour Party Way - spend, spend, borrow and spend, he systematically ruined the Australian economy. In cahoots with Rudd, were his Deputy - Julia Gillard, the Federal Treasurer - Wayne Swann and Finance Minister - Lindsay Tanner. Nothing was done, nothing spent without their knowledge. In the Emerson interview he went to great lengths to stress that Rudd was dismissed by the Labour Party Caucus in a democratic manner. Well Emerson, like thieves in the night, daggers in hand, you forgot that Democracy belongs to "We the People - For the People" and WE will never forget how the Labour Party assinated our elected Prime Minister and replaced him with a "Non Elected" one. Habib, Shorten, Swann, Gillard, after orders from Union Heavyweights, Howes, Ludwig et. al. sank the knife in. They shafted him. VALE Kevin Michael Rudd, I didn't like you, but have sympathy for you and your family. LEST WE FORGET - THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY - JUNE 24 - 2010
