John was desperately looking around for yet another scapegoat to distract the electorate in the same way they he used the infamous LIE "Children Overboard"

He tried it on with those dreadfull vile characters, the 'Union Bosses' but I look back to see who brought us the two day weekend, the 40 hour week, the 4 week holliday & a living wage & it sure as hell wasn't the Liberal Party of Australia.

Yet we take all this for granted as if it was a god given right.
How quickly we forget,

The electorate finally got to look directly at the government, without distractions & at last with an opposition that he couldn't rattle & the electors of Australia saw something they didn't like.

Lets hope that the new Prime Minister & his government live up to the expectations of a nation.
With a swing of at least 20 seats he sure as hell has a mandate to do the right thing. Lordy Kev, get out there & do it, but I will be waiting & watching for when the global economy falters as a result of the US slowly falling over [remember Wall St. in 1929] I fully expect that pack of petulant brats in opposition screaming at the top of their lungs, ...'SEE, WE TOLD YOU SO, IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT.'

When little Johny was treasurer under Malcolm the trouserless, interest rates did indeed hit 22%, but while he tried to crucify a previous government for interest rates that hit 17% he conveniently forgot his own performance & desperately hoped that we would too.
