I have noticed a couple of comments on Paolo's thread about yesterday's change of Government in Australia and thought it would be better to start this thread so those interested might comment.
Australians yesterday voted to change from the right wing Liberal Coalition. (Yes my U.S. friends Liberal in OZ means Right wing). To the left wing Socialist Labor party.
The previous Government had been in power for eleven years and has taken Australia from a situation of a massive debt, high interest rates, high unemployment and continual union led workplace strikes,under the previous Labor Government.
To today where Australia is debt free, has low interest rates, no unemployment and massive prosperity.
But the people decided to kick them out! Go Figure
.
Personally I think this will go down in history as Australia's darkest day, but I am a little further right than Attila the Hun.
I have just put on the flame suit.
