It was time...

Congratulations and Thank You to the people of Australia for rejecting the coalition and voting in the Rudd/Labor government!

No rabbits out of hats this time for Mr Howard and people seem to have rejected workchoices, ignored the 'Unionist' boogeyman fear campaign, and no, Australia is not going to suffer an economic collapse either. the sky did fall in though, right on the heads of the coalition!

In a way I do feel sorry for them, they seem to be completely shell-shocked. Well it might not have come as such a surprise if they weren't blinded by Mr Howards idealogically driven agenda. Some weren't I suspect, but their acquiescence made them complicit so they have no-one to blame but themselves.

A lot of right wing commentators labelled anyone who criticized the coalition as being 'Howard Haters', well I can assure anyone that there of plenty of those who hate Labor! I listened to the right-wing radio station 2GB for a few days after the election (just to hear what was being said) and the amount of vitriol and fury expressed by a lot of callers toward Labor left any 'Howard-Hating' commentary I read or heard in the dust! And this wasn't backed up by anything rational either, just full-on hate verging on noise pollution. it was disgraceful and hypocritical. I don't mind sensible debate but if they're just gonna rant and rave about nothing then they're not going to influence anybody. But if that's the outlet for their rage then so be it. Get it out, get over it, and let's start making this country the best that it can be. But as for me, I don't think I'll be tuning to 2GB again anytime soon.
