Australian Federal Election
The Prime Minister of Australia, the Rt. Honourable John Howard MP, has announced the date for the Australian federal election.
Unlike the USA, Australia votes for a new Federal Parliament every 3-4 years as the constitution requires, which means it's not always on the same day and usually at the call of the Prime Minister in power at the time.
The Australian Liberal Party (equivalent to the US Republican Party) is led by the Prime Minister, the Rt. Honourable John Howard, and the Opposition Party by the Honourable Kevin Rudd MP. The opposition party in this case is Australian Labor (equivalent to the US Democrats). The Liberal Party is in power in the federal government.
Currently the Labor Party is in power in every state in Australia, and therefore win by Labor in the Federal Election would effectively mean totalitarian rule across Australia by one political party. This has never happened in Australian politics before.
It is a frightening concept, in which every piece of legislation affecting the states, affecting every citizen, could be rammed through all levels of parliament without any checks and balances.
In the words of the anti-terrorism commercials (parodied here) ... I'm "alert, aware and frightened" beyond belief at this concept.
Australia must remain democratic and free, and not be railroaded into the failed ideologies of the past by the socialist left.
Above all let us all remember that, the Labour party invented "the recession we had to have", had a Prime Minister who described his own country as the "ass end of the earth", and who further described Australia as a Banana Republic. Successive leaders of Labor have continued to live off the ball and chain legacies of past failed Labor leaders. I was forcibly retrenched during the regime of Prime Minister Paul Keating who decided that the country had to have a recession. Not once but three times.
Australians all, let us unite, for we are under threat.
Edit : An anonymous respondent, who resorted to child-like name calling thus suggesting a very low intellect, has corrected my spelling to spell Labor instead of Labour. Mea Culpa. My apologies for offending the name of the opposition party.
