In his speech to the parliament, he referred to ''our new posture here in Australia'' as something that would bring the two countries' militaries closer together and allow the two nations to ''respond faster to the full range of challenges.''
If the Coalition was to slip to a point where it was behind Labor on 2PP for any sustained period of time, Tony Abbott as opposition leader would simply be replaced.Hi.
I thought the biggest betrayal in Australian politics was the removal of Kevin Rudd.
Following this the Australian voter put Gillard close enough to power, she was dragged over the line.
In the last few months the Labor party has implemented new tactics.
e.g. 1 Gillard is speaking differently.
2 Her gestures when she speaks is different.
3 On her announcement of the Uranium to India, the two Labor power brokers supported her in different media presentations.(within 24 hrs.)
4 She is taking Coalition policy"s and implementing them.
Well "hello", I do not think the voter is going to miss this.
It has been explained, "and quite clearly" that her promise was broken because of pressure from the Greens. Now we have the Bob Katter issue.
So if I was looking at the "forest and not the trees", I would say the biggest obstacle to removing Labor from power, is Tony Abbott.
Labors policy's and handling of the "mini-budget" has to be countered by Abbott "and then some".
If the Australian voter were to create history it should have removed Labor after one term. If they want to create history, then they can elect Abbott and his party.
The history would be electing a PM more unpopular than the sitting one.
The Australian voter could always change its mind on Abbott. Is that likely to happen.?
I see mention of the Labor left. If anybody thinks that the Labor left is going to take a pay cut after the next election because of "fickle" beliefs, then think again.
One thing that can be agreed is, the Qld. election will give a better outlook of the future Federal situation. And how Labor reacts to Bob Brown in the next 12 months.
Just remember the last time I went to Woolworth's I had to pay with with money.
Integrity purchased me nothing.

While you can't physically buy anything with integrity, money and integrity are not mutually exclusive as it is our political leaders that tax us and spend that money.
"Certain rights are universal, among them freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and the freedom of citizens to choose their own leaders," the US President told our legislators.
"These are not American rights or Australian rights or Western rights. They are human rights. They stir in every soul."
While Gillard gazed at Obama with rapturous eyes she probably didn't enjoy his espousal of the freedoms.

After all that irresponsible and despicable fear-mongering, the New Scientist reports the comforting facts:
The fallout from the radiation leak at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor in Japan may be less severe than predicted.
Radiology researcher Ikuo Kashiwakura of Hirosaki University, Japan, and colleagues responded immediately to the disaster, travelling south to Fukushima prefecture to measure radiation levels in more than 5000 people there between 15 March and 20 June.
They found just 10 people with unusually high levels of radiation, but those levels were still below the threshold at which acute radiation syndrome sets in and destroys the gastrointestinal tract.
Geiger-counter readings categorised all others in the area at a “no contamination level”.
Also radiation builds up over time as you ingest it.
As stated above, a lot of healthy fruit and veg should be radioactive to some extent, it's when it's not, that I'd start to worry, and question how good it actually is for you.I wouldn't eat any food produced anywhere near that area and I take my food seriously!
As you read these posts, I hope for your sake that you don't have a laptop sitting on your lap. If you do, I can pm you a link to a guy that sells lead under pants and foil hats.Don't let the facts overwhelm rightist propaganda either.
She knows he doesn't really mean it.
This Presidential visit was final proof of two things:
.
- our leftist media
- the hypocisy of the Left
I think Obama's decision to visit Australia and to rotate 2,500 Marines through Darwin, was something we could do without.
And did Obama tell Gillarrd what this "full range of challenges" is?.
The way they couldn't keep their hands off each other was sickening.

No coalitition leader has to be perfect as Labor is far from perfect.drsmith
Tony Abbott can "simply" be replaced by whom?
If its simple, then there must be an obvious successor. Please enlighten us.
Turnbull is a pushover.
Hockey has no guts(political, plenty of the other).
Bishop. I do not think so.
Will voters trust the compensation on a carbon tax that she said she would not introduce before the election ?You mention we are taxed by the political leaders. EXACTLY. And the Australian voter will be compensated by the Labor government as she has promised.
MY point is, she is over taxing us, then buying (or will), back votes by the way of compensation. Will the people see through this. She has explained it as taking it from the big miners, so the people will accept that.
The mining tax in its present form was a quick political fix.Gillard has implemented two major taxes. But already there exist the legislation to do exactly that. However she is doing it in a way to bypass the states.
I did dee a media report late last week about Julia Gillard calling a snap poll for Feb next year.I still see the Qld. election as the make or break for Labor.
Maybe Abbott has a box of tricks that he is going to open. I hope so, and soon.
I get this strong feeling the Abbott camp have decided to give her a little rope to see if Labor implodes.
On a lighter note if Katter campaigns on flying fox solutions, then he should go well.

No wonder Timmy walked back to the lodge after watching Obama and Gillard kissing and cuddling every time they met. He was either disgusted or a little jealous maybe.
the Left Vs Right paradigm is pre-fabricated rubbish! the reality should be citizen Vs authority
the rothschilds banking dynasty funded the bolshevic revolution (communist Left) in order to plunder the romanov royal fortune that was convieiently invested in their banks
the rothschild banking system funded hitlers national socialist party (nazi Right) through one of their minions, the warburg banking family, at the same time they funded the allies. max warburg was also the cheif of the german secret police!
as a side note the rockefeller family also supported hitler through standard oil funding & sharing technology (oil from coal) to fuel the nazi war machine.
off topic i know but its good to know your real enemy! left Vs Right is just a myth to keep the people divided so as to keep their attention from the true villians who have been causing global chaos through-out history.
