“He said yesterday that he would withdraw Australian troops from Iraq and ratify the Kyoto pact on climate change.”
Right after he assigns a council of mullahs and declares Australia under Sharia Law.

Maybe they can put a picture of Mao on the Aussie dollar?

During the campaign Mr Rudd, who speaks fluent Mandarin and has lived in China... Oh wonderful.

Can we run this through Babelfish so the political terms are in proper American? Republican seems to have a different connotation than we can adapt to even with Republicans acting like spend-crazy Democrats.

Australia will keep the monarchy until at least the Queen dies. She is still liked there by many. It will be a voter turnout problem for the republicans. There is also some benefits of being in the Commonwealth that the Aussies won’t want to readily give up.

I suspect that Rudd will get the rug pulled out from under him. He comes in at a time when the economy is booming. He’s got no where to go but down.

What in the world were they thinking when they voted for this guy?
Oooops ... I bet they asked the same question when we elected Clinton I. I hope they are dissapointed when we reject Clinton II!

I would hope the good people of Australia would blanch at this separation from the queen notion. The day will come in the not too distant future when Australia had better have solid ties to Britain and the U.S. Unless Australia wants to become China’s upcoming satellite, it better pull it’s head out.

“Mr Rudd, 50, a former diplomat, has promised to hold a plebiscite on severing links with the monarchy. He said yesterday that he would withdraw Australian troops from Iraq and ratify the Kyoto pact on climate change”
Oh brother!!

Don’t care about the monarchy bit - as the Windsors aren’t doing squat to stop the Islamification of the UK - but the other Australian leftward moves aren’t promising.
