Title: A new PM, what do you think?
Post by: cookie1 on June 24, 2010, 03:38:12 am
I was wondering what your thoughts were on our new Prime Minister? I'm not too sure to be honest. I must say I was getting sick of Mr Rudd and his speeches that I couldn't understand and of course I'm not happy about the mining tax. (DH and I have agreed to totally disagree on that as we have opposing views) 
Perhaps a change is good.  What do you think?

Well Cookie I am with you, I just don't know what to think, then again I dislike politics (like really dislike!!!) and today my facebook page is just choka block with people expressing delight, disgust, views and arguments ... hence my dislike lol. Both my parents and DH's parents are very political (for opposing camps  :-)) :-))) and DH gets quite involved too ...

I also am not into politics, they are all as bad as each other in my opinion.  But, I have to say GO JULIA!  Time to see if a woman can do better.

lol Judy, my argument all morning has been that. Everyone is carrying on about wait until she has some credit, don't just crow because she is a woman, it is only going to be worse than what we have had. Well my response has been that no man has really done anything spectacular either!!! Like you I think they are all the same  :-))

If I could choose a Prime Minister I would say 'Gretchen for PM" - now, there's a lady who loves a soapbox  ;D ;D ;D :-* :-* :-*

Too funny Judy. Me thinks there are a few of us who love a soapbox.

Tell DH from me to try Spider Solitaire for a change. Good time wasting fun.

I have always thought that Julia Gillard's voice sounds like Kath from Kath and Kim.  So now that is all I think about if I hear her talk....I have no idea what she stands for (other than Labor that is!)

I've noticed she's said nothing about the proposed mining tax....

ha ha i too have said that the only thing that concerns me is having to listen to her voice even more!! I cant stand her the same as I couldnt stand Krudd...so not really a winning day!

now onto the more important issue of the day...who is going to get eliminated on MCA tonight?

I agree  baf65 elimination on Master chef is much more important.  ;D  I like all of them, they all have something to offer/give and are all trying to achieve their dream.  I will be sorry for whoever goes

DD tells me that she and I "go for love"
 ;) :D :D :D

Krudd while he claims he kept us out of recession he got us into a lot of debt and cost those poor people their lives and homes with the stuff up of that insulation thing. Personally I think they're all as bad as each other and don't trust any of them!  :-X

Hmmmm if she had no plans to challenge him, then how has she so quickly planned out what she'd like to achieve as PM....?  :-\

Some  interesting replies. I must agree with the fact that you can't trust any of them. Like the old joke
"How do you tell when a politician is lieing?"
"When his lips are moving."

DD came home from work quite enraged that a PM could be ousted so easily. She doesn't like either of them so I was quite surprised.

As you say MC is more important and far more interesting. Having said that I didn't watch it last night, I read instead.
