Al those reforms may have ended up under Julia’s “leadership”, but most of them kicked off under Kevin…It’d also be nice to see the back of Julia and her bunglers and have the ALP return to the rank and file having input rather than the factions and unions…”once and for all”…
Reformer, reform thyself.
Australians were sick of this…when she and the faceless men… knifed him in he back and sacked the person that
the people of Australia voted for. I don’t care what she has done “under my leadership” fact is she got the job of PM by stealth and deceit…not because we the people voted for her..
And no matter what good or otherwise she has done for the country…..the harm that she and the faceless did to the
country will not be wiped out. The lesson for her and the faceless…”DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO DO UNTO YOU!!
No speech writers here! Spoken from the heart, spoken like a leader ,
Yes she has great potential, when she speaks for herself, from herself and by herself , then it comes from the heart. But she is dictated to by those that stroked her ego and by her ego getting in the way of what is fair and just, she harmed another human being and a colleague to boot, a colleague that had given her the next best job.
In anycase she and the faceless ones had a moral duty to the Australian people who put Rudd into the job of PM. It had to be the people to remove him from that job. Not the ambitious, hurt little ego’s of the faceless and the faithless. And it’s all very well to say ” Ah yes but you vote for a party not for a leader”.. yes well that’s nice to know, thank you for telling us!!
Those whose actions lack integrity get back exactly what they give…i.e. what goes round comes around, law of cause and effect, for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, do unto others etc etc..It’s not as if they didn’t know… everyone knows what Karma…is.. and in this day and age of fast food… we also have fast karma ! 🙂
Great speech. Good to hear her clarity and determination.
The pity is that when she became leader the Rudd story was not conveyed to the australian people. We were only able to read the surface ripples. Only now is the story and the reasons for change are being heard.
NOW CAN WE MOVE ON PLEASE.
