Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott are both the worst leaders that their parties have ever had.

Mark Latham, Simon Crean and Kim Beasley were all worse than Julia Gillard. And those are just the ones I'm old enough to remember.

I stand corrected.

Though Labor could do far better than Gillard.

Vote Katter! He'll fix it all.
“Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the age and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow.”

It's nice to see that this thread is going somewhere.
If you had a choice to vote between Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, John Howard, or Tony Abbott, who would you vote for?

Rudd.

Though if Turnbull was included I would have to think a bit about it.

Rudd. I don't hate Gillard, but I'd prefer to see him back in office. Howard is awful and Abbott's worse.

Lucky man (or woman).

Those who've read my posts here will know that I don't have a kind word to say about politicians. Ever.

Tony Windsor's speech when he announced his decision was the best thing I have heard come from a living politician's mouth. And I don't even really have time to spare for country issues, generally speaking.

Rudd.

I have to say I would rather Gillard than Rudd.
Although the whole Labour party is screwed in their pointy little noses.
They have a good core idealism, that individual labour and local industry should be protected (also protect Australian economy as opposed to full-on Global market).
But they have been messin' 'round with the greens too long and have cought some of their bullsh*t ideas like insane taxes, anti-christianty laws, pot legality and homosexuality laws.

The whole labor party needs a rapid morality turn-around before they win my vote.

(BTW, Julia Gillard has never been voted by the Oz people into the head job, that is she never won an election with a majority, she had to plead to the gay [literally] greens and the independants, to get the job she has today)


Oh, and South Oz is the best, no questions asked, especially the Barossa Valley and the SA murray regions!

Please give examples of all of these.

Meh. That's the way the system works. The Liberal party hasn't won an election with the majority for like twenty years.

I actually talked to him on the day of the election and asked him what would happen if their was a hung parliament but he avoided the question.

and the chaser should be put back on the air.
