2 Years of Consistent Disappointment
Nov 25th
Today, the 25th of November marks two years of this blog being online. From the early days of Blogger, to Wordpress and finally to what you see today. Much has happened in the last two years, some good, some bad. However as we reflect we can remember how embarrassingly awful the first post of this blog was (and many of the first couple of months of posts). Dare to look it up if you don’t mind a huge cringe.
Here is for another two years of bitter disappointment and minor grammatical errors.
You Decide 07: Why it’s time to change
Nov 23rd
Tomorrow is the day when Australia needs to make a tough decision. Stick with the same Government that got us in Iraq, started AWA’s without consulting the public before the last election along with various other erroneous decisions. Kevin Rudd may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to tell you the truth he is not my ultimate choice but it’s time we had new vision. It’s time for a more progressive and positive government. One that will remove us from Iraq, remove AWA’s, Fix our hospitals, fix our broadband problems, ratify Kyoto and be on the front foot against climate change and start providing new initiatives in Education.
Do I think he will accomplish everything he laid out? No. Will Howard either? No. That’s the way it goes though and so far all Howard and his cronies have been able to do is dwell on the last 11 years and attempting to freak out the public about the awful unions and how Rudd is going to be taking orders from them. The whole “heading the right direction” spiel is utter nonsense. If Rudd gets in will things change? Yes, but will the sky fall in? Absolutely not – look at the policies some are quite similar to the Governments, some of course are not. So if some polices are similar how will so much bad change happen as Howard warns of?
I think that Australia is ready, finally for some fresh new ideas and some new faces. Whether or not Australia will realise this is what we find out tomorrow.
