I am an Aussie who has had the benefit of living in North America (Canada and Michigan) for nearly 10 years. Now back down under.
What you see in Detroit an California right now is the track that Australia was on under Gillard.
The previous Conservative government had built up a huge surplus and the labour party under Rudd and then Gillard blew it all and then plenty more.
Anonymous at 1:58 PM summed it up well, but no doubt because of space, left out that Gillard is also under investigation by the major fraud squad of the Victorian police for her part in a scam that her then boyfriend ripped off $1,000,000+ from the AWU union, employers and state governments (Gillard falsified paperwork).
Her poll ratings were in the tank and getting worse and this scandal is about to blow.
The union dumped support for her (partly because they knew this was coming) and all the politicians they control were told to support Rudd in the coup even though they all hate his guts.
The misogyny speech was always bullshit. She is a liar, a crook and headed for an electoral wipeout of historic proportion. Although the unions originally put her there as a puppet they could control, even they could see the writing on the wall. Rudd was re-installed to try to save some labour seats.
