I read about that this afternoon lateralus and i was pretty shocked... the general feeling from over here has been that Rudd was a pretty popular PM who would have been a no brainer going into an election at the end of the year... but he has made a few gaffes of late, introducing some not so popular policies and whatnot... but still i thought the Party would stick with their leader, rather than dispose of him so quickly and abruptly...

I read Gillard's "humble" speech of acceptance as a new PM, and well, it didn't come off the page as terribly humble to me... but then again nothing a pollie says sounds terribly humble to my ears...lol...

Honestly, I think she is trying to take things back into the middle more, as that's where the perceived votes are at... it seemed to me that Rudd may have been veering further to the left...

And I really detest it when politicians start saying they're going to start taking a harder line with border policy... smallmindedness tends to come hand in hand with this world view, and the whole border security issue is such a Howard era throwback...
