Goodmorning bloggers!
And... If your morning was anything like mine, you awoke in a state of utter normalcy, no feelings that anything was amiss, hungry from a good nights sleep and just ready to tackle the Great Task Of The Day (ie cleaning under your bed). However, as on any normal day you checked Facebook, only to discover that overnight your Prime Minister is no longer the nerdy adversary to Johnny Howard but a mouse-esque WOMAN who is not so nearly as endearing. What a world we live in where we are no longer informed by the newspaper of major events, but our Live newsfeed. I feel that there is nothing like a good ol' political switcheroo to inspire an emergency blog before my morning bowl of porridge and complementary vegemite toast.
Now, there have been some harsh words to Julia, people taking cheap shots and calling her ranga and saying her voice is annoying and i must say that i have joined these people in kicking her in the ball sack in what would otherwise be a friendly hand only boxing match... (which reminds me: Callum maybe you need to make a Julia Gillard mii and battle her with Kevin '07 in the ring)...with my previous comment that she was mouse-esque.
Then on the other-hand i have seen so many positive statements about her new found position such as "look at us, with our new female Prime Minister, aren't we just such a forward country. Look at us just like the USA with their black president." and "woooooo chick PM now i can stare at her titties" (well maybe exactly...anyhow)
What all these people need to realise is that they are taking cheap shots because most people probably had some idea of what they were voting for. Shit or shitter. Now it's possibly shitter and shitter or better and shitter but who the fuck knows anymore. Election time 3 years ago was exciting because Kevin brought the promise of freshness and though generally people are not really comfortable with disruptive change, Australia felt we needed one. Now, however this change has been enforced upon us and though it may ultimately be for the better we don't know and we had no say. It would be like me giving you a choice of eating a mars bar or a piece of shit and then saying or you can unwrap this THIRD MYSTERY PACKAGE and see what you get, it could either be a snickers or... more shit. And poor Kevvy! I mean, at least we knew what we were getting and he had a sense of humour! Are you funny Julia? ARE YOU FUNNY??
Now, the female PM issue must be tackled head on. So, yeah, she has a vagina, but what does that mean? I mean, as i said, she hasn't really earned her vagina that seat in parliament and perhaps it was her vagina that earned the rest of her body that seat. Sure she is a female but she has not proven herself as others must, before achieving the big title of PM. As previously mentioned Australia but did not vote for her, the labour party did and how is that any accurate sample of the population. How does that represent what the rest of us would want? And, HOW does that make us forward thinking or advanced in anyway. Many other countries have done the same thing before us. Her being female really has nothing to do with how well she will lead the country (though better than Abbott, that cunt of a human...or should i say hymen). What of her skills, people? I guess, Rudd wasn't so skillful and he did disappoint on many occasions, so Julia has that up her sleeve, at least for me, because as i have NO expectations maybe she will pleasantly surprise me and if she doesn't i guess i'll say "I told ja so" and get on with my porridge and vegemite toast. Bottoms up, Australia.
Potteeeeeeer!
