1975 Sacking and 2010 De-Ja-Vu


Interesting times we live in.

I recall as a young man in 1975 the outrage felt throughout Australia when the Governor General, Sir John Kerr, sacked the Prime Minister of the day, Gough Whitlam.

Here we are in 2010 when we see another Prime Minister sacked.
But this time, it was the PM's own party that sacked him, the Australian Labor Party knifed sitting Prime Minister Kevin Rudd overnight, denying him the chance to lead to the next federal election.
The ALP installed former deputy PM Julia Gillard into office.

So much for Labor mateship and loyalty to its own.

The reason for ousting PM Kevin Rudd ............... they might lose the election.
No wonder the electorate is so pissed off with all politicians and all political parties.
