Good Ruddance
Did you like my clever play on words in the title?
I guess not.
Anyway, woke up today to find that we had a new Prime Minister, our first female one at that. K Rudd is out and Julia Gillard is in. Crazy times.
Rudd’s popularity had been on a downward spiral, and support within his own team had dropped to the point where they said “Fuck it, let’s dump this Shit-Elf and give the reigns to that fiery haired vixen”.
I’m not that big on Politics – when I voted in the State Election in March, it was the first time I had voted in 12 years. I voted for these guys, purely because I liked their logo:
That being said, I wasn’t a fan of Kevin Rudd – and I’m glad to see him go.
A family friend worked in Rudd’s office, and told us tales of an angry man with a violent temper. One rage fuelled day, he ripped his desk phone out of it’s plug and smashed it against the wall screaming at his aides. This isn’t Russel Crowe we are talking about here, this is supposed to be the leader of our fine country.
The dummy spits were often followed by apologies and begs for his staff not to quit, but it didn’t work as 260 staff walked out on Rudd in just two years.
One day he reduced an RAAF flight attendant to tears because she couldn’t get him a “special” meal. Christ, what a momentous dick. A bully with poor anger management skills, Rudd is the Gordon Ramsey of politicians. That is certainly not a compliment, those who’ve been reading the Shoddy Blog for a few years know how much I detest that wrinkly fuck head Ramsey.
Oh well, Rudd is gone now. Time for a new PM. So what do we know of this Julia Gillard?
Gillard was born in Wales in 1961....wait, what? You don’t have to be born in Australia to become a Prime Minister? I’m pretty sure you have to be born in the USA to be President, don’t you? Does this mean anybody can become our Prime Minister? Can we vote for guy? I like his style:
To be painfully honest with you kids, unless they reduce the tax on alcohol and movie tickets, I’m really not all that fussed with politics. Still, it’s good to see Rudd chucked out. I’ve tried my hand at political cartooning to commemorate this momentous occasion:
Gillard is hard to illustrate, so I drew Grimace instead. Hope you don’t mind.
I also just found out Gillard was raised and schooled here in Adelaide. Rock on.
