Dont get it...

The woman is Julia Gillard. Our dumbass leader whom nobody likes. The bloke is the leader of the opposition. On a recent trip to India Julia fell over. Watch here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2ZS-CId_hs and keep watching to hear her speak. Drone....

another dumbass letting vanity get in the way of practicality.  personally I find her an embarrassment to this country.  when's the next election?  NOT SOON ENOUGH.

You don't really want Abbott in do you?

it would be nice to have politicians that represent their electorate, not a party, but we know that is not going to happen on either side.  what would be preferable is a party that does not have to compromise everything to appease a few fools in order to cling to office.  even better a bunch pf politicians with some morals and ethics, but that is an oxymoron.

Won't happen. The very nature of a person who seeks power over others dictates they will likewise bend down to those behind the scene power-mongers who Really control said office, while simultaneously screwing over those plebs who voted them in to office.

The only politician I can think of who shows integrity is Ron Paul. BUT, it is that integrity which means he will never be given the thumbs up by the behind the scenes power-mongers and so will never achieve the higher office.

Right? I'm lost on that wording...

Also, this thread is the first time I've ever heard anything about Aussie politics... its interesting that it sounds so familar... I always thought of Australian politics similar to Canadian politics... no one knows who is the prime minister of Canada (most Canadians can't even tell you), no one cares - it seems they just pay taxes and live their lives...

The only difference here would be a $500 car with a $5000 set of rims... It used to be sound systems, but it seems that is fading.

Straya is a strine variation of Australia.  Think Australia and remove the AU leaving Stralia, say it lazier (or drunk) and it becomes Straya.

Yeah, cause we shorten everything if we have half a chance.

See Slips and Cods. Now we gotta shorten ThatOtherGuy to Tog 

and on other forums my wife is ThatOtherGirl, so collectively we are the TOGs.

Can you confirm this for me?  Without looking it up of course, do you know who is the prime minister of Canada?  Did you know you have a prime minister?

Certainly no offense meant here, its just a different way of living than the U.S.... and I wish more countries were like Canada in some regards...

Queeeeee beeeeec has been trying to separate from canadia ... but they have been for centuries ...

Apparently they cant take one more canadian winter.

Now Canadia also wants quuueeeeeebeeec outta there ... however they have not figured out how big a hacksaw they're going to need to cut quebec and float it down the atlantic.

Or the line made famous IMHO by Don Ferguson of Royal canadian air farce ...
You see the prime minister of canada is from Quebec, The finance minister of canada is from quebec, the opposition leader of canada is from quebec. So Obviously the needs of Quebec are not being met in Canada.

Flucking hilariuos I tell ya ...

I think the parliamentary system of gubbamint is more conducive to humor. The US system lacks in that regard ...

Cool.

Of course I know who the PM is. I would suspect 90+% of ppl over 12 do. Stephen Harper of the Conservative party. I also know who the premier of my province is too. Dalton McGuinty of the liberal party.

Come on ... 99% of people over 12 know ... canadia is not a real county ... yup, not a real county.

You know what CAW stands for ... ? Canadians acting white ... they are white ... yup, they are ... the same way a russian is white ...

Canadia is a third world county ... except the people are white. Heard that ?

What you call an american with 1/2 their brain sucked out ... canadian.
What you call a canadian with 1/2 their brain sucked out. Quebecios.
What you call a quebecios with 1/2 their brain sucked out. A newfie ...

Man I love Newfoundland though. Its beautiful, it only snows 24 feet every weekend. And no canadia isn't stupid due to weather ... or socialist wannabe's in the govt ... its stupid cos its ... well stupid and has no clue of how the world works.

Cool.
Buddha.

Oh yea, canadia has one thing they have effectively perpetrated on the world ...

Bieber mania ... bieber fever ... whatever the heck you call it ... they did sentence us to Justin Bieber.

BTW my son plays a game called "Kill Justin beaver" and thinks justin beaver is a real person ...

Cool.
