Australian Election on the Barbie

Whatever you do, don't eat any prawns.

Can I
call it or what, readers?

"Australia’s major foreign policy positions, including its deployment of 1,550 troops to Afghanistan, would be unaffected by whichever party wins"

Man, do I KNOW THAT FEELING!!

So NO REAL CHANGE as you Aussies argue amongst yourselves over domestic issues.

The conquer, divide, and divert strategy works well everywhere.

"Australians must wait to learn who will lead after hard-fought vote" by Rod McGuirk, Associated Press | August 22, 2010

CANBERRA, Australia — It could take more than a week to learn who will govern Australia after a cliffhanger election — the closest in nearly 50 years — and the winner might have to woo the support of a handful independent lawmakers to assume power.

Julia Gillard, who became Australia’s first female prime minister in an internal Labor Party coup two months ago, said yesterday that she will remain the nation’s caretaker leader during the “anxious days ahead’’ as vote-counting continues.

I don't know; the whole emphasis on politics by the AmeriKan MSM and its magic show of illusion has me kind of sour on the whole thing.

One can only conclude that Israel controls Labor in Australia.

The Australian Electoral Commission website said early today that center-left Labor and the conservative Liberal Party-led coalition each had 71 seats, meaning neither could achieve the 76-seat majority....

Pundits said Australia’s major foreign policy positions, including its deployment of 1,550 troops to Afghanistan, would be unaffected by whichever party wins because both hold similar views. Domestic issues vary across the large and diverse country, including hot topics such as asylum seekers, health care, and climate change....

Like I said, they have you squabbling over divisive issues and distorted lies.

Record cold in Australia

Strange how I never see a word about that in my Boston Globe.

The left-wing Greens party attracted a record number of voters, delivering it a rare seat in the House of Representatives, the lower chamber where parties form the government.

That is the "left" of Australia telling its establishment to f*** off right there!

Think of it as the liberal Democrats here that keep getting the shaft from their leadership, Americans.

The Greens were also likely to increase Senate representation in the 76-seat upper chamber from five to nine senators, assuring the party a say on legislation.

Gillard, 48, a cheerfully charismatic, sharp-witted former lawyer, came to power June 24 in the first term of her predecessor, Kevin Rudd, and called elections to confirm her mandate.

What mandate?

And note how glowing is the approval of my Zionist War Paper, world.

Liberal Party leader Tony Abbott, 52, a married former Catholic seminarian, barely gained the endorsement eight months ago of his Liberal Party, which has led Australia for most of the last 60 years.

At one time I would have given him a positive for being Catholic with the slim possibility of bucking the masters, but that has since long passed.

Labor swept to power in the 2007 elections after 11 years with almost 53 percent of the vote. But public support dropped below 50 percent recently.

Australians have not dumped a first-term government since 1931, when a Labor administration paid the price for the Great Depression.

And here I was told yesterday the economy was in great shape.

If so, you don't get a vote like this.

Please stop lying to us, newspaper.
