I don’t post on my blog because I usually can’t be arsed really. Too tired or busy after work with my other stuff like playing around with my computer, sports and various other activities. That’s why the Ultimate Sigh has been left untouched.
But today K Rudd was ousted. Now I am no Rudd lover, and I disagree with a few of his moves and policies. But this is no way to treat a PM. It is a lofty position, one which the Australian people entrust. Yet today he was ousted all of a sudden, without the opportunity to take it to another election. He deserves at least that.
And I can’t believe I am quoting Abbott on this:
A midnight knock on the door followed by execution is no way a leader should be treated…Prime Ministers should not be treated this way…
And people wonder why we are disillusioned by politics. This is a move which I think shows the true mechanisations behind the Australian political parties. I hope Gillard proves to be an inspired stroke, but I really feel for Rudd right now.
Agree with thee.
The good thing about KRudd and Turnbull was they seemed to put the greater good of the nation ahead of various factions within their own parties. A sad day indeed.
