In the Great New Republic of Australia - our popularly elected President will have to be born here - same as in Uncle Sam Land.

I will also be discussing with the Party leader the idea that dual citizens cannot hold a seat in parliament.

Australia for Australians first. My ancestors colonised this place so their descendants could be treated as second class people for being white and often men. they left Ireland, Scotland and Germany due to bad times and conditions under oppressive regimes, to build a far better life - now I am considering leaving here for the same reasons.

That has me thinking, if they boot her out now and put Rudd in ...... then move her and swan to the cross benches ..... there is an election winning strategy.

Unless Gillard resigns, I doubt that would happen. The Labor Party won't kick her out because there's nobody to replace her. While I do think Labor has given up hope of winning the next election, they're not going to make things worse for themselves by kicking out their current leader. Labor has already suffered enough pain and shame.

RightSadFred wrote on May 19^th, 2013 at 8:38am:

If your a rusted on ALP supporter, my view is that you should want her as far away as possible from the ALP.

That is of course if you ever want the ALP back in power.

As far as I'm concerned, the ALP are gone for good. They are going the way of the old UAP when it disappeared decades back. They're going to be a minor party now, like the Greens. Ok, that's an exaggeration. They won't be extinct, just minor. It's going to be the Coalition vs. KAP and Palmer's United Party from now on. Coalition and Labor policies are so similar now they might as well be one party. Well, maybe I'm just being pessimistic about Labor's future. Maybe it will be more like a tripolar Parliament and Senate, with the Coalition vs. Labor/Greens vs. KAP/PUP. At least things will be different for a change. I'm sick of the bipartisan system. I want to see more competition.

Under 'reciprocal agreements' she could transfer her income and be paid by the British government who will be paid by Australia. Look how many Poms get British pensions here and Oz as well, not that I'm saying they shouldn't - but Julia would be well covered.

Shocked

After all, John Howard retired to his spiritual home - the USA - after he left politics.
