Normally, I avoid political comment, but really, this current week of Australian politics cannot be avoided.
This Gillard V Rudd jostle for leadership appears to me that the Labor Party has their finger on a self-destruct button.
Current political commentary is a flurry of revolving & spiraling synonyms; contest, leadership, presidential, democracy, factions, politics, lunacy, coup de tat, fight, slogans, surreal…
I grew up in a world of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). Etched into my memory are the names of Khrushchev, Kennedy, Reagan and Doctor Strangelove.
Thankfully, the outcome of Gillard V Rudd is not the end of the world.
To quote the quotes: “History teaches us that we learn nothing from history” and “History Repeats” …but maybe the appropriate quote goes to an AGE Newspaper Letter-To-The Editor writer Russell Castley, Creswick who says, “ANYONE but Abbott.”
