Tonight, a man who can lift elephants, a woman who can swallow trams, and basically anything else you want if it’s going to help someone get elected.
Kevin Rudd launched his campaign under the slogan “New Leadership”, as “Same Old Leadership” was already taken…
Kevin Rudd launched his campaign under the slogan “New Leadership”, because he thought it was uncouth to use the simpler, more direct “Fuck Howard Off”.
Rudd is campaigning under the slogan “New Leadership”, which just won over “I’m Not Howard”.
Rudd alleges the Coalition has grown stale and lost touch, while he is still fresh – and just loves to touch.
Rudd says Howard has lost touch. But he still insists he never touched.
Rudd promises “fresh ideas” – in fact, getting fresh is his specialty. Just ask the poledancers.
Rudd promises “fresh ideas” – yeah, well, now he just sounds like an ad for a supermarket.
Rudd’s promising “fresh ideas”, although with a six week campaign, he’d better keep them in the fridge.
Rudd is promising fresh ideas, and saying he’s had enormous experience as a senior public servant. That’d be one of those “ideas public servants” you hear so much about.
Rudd puts himself forward as someone who’s worked extensively as a senior public servant, diplomat & experienced politician – when all he really needs to say is “I didn’t send anyone to Iraq”.
Rudd is standing on a policy platform of No Work Choices, no nuclear power, no War in Iraq and no negative campaigning.
Rudd promises to ratify Kyoto, abolish Work Choices, ban nuclear power, implement the education revolution, build a world class broadband network, establish an exit strategy for Iraq – and most importantly, never ever do the Howard powerwalk. / wear the Howard tracksuit.
Rudd’s bracing himself for a major fear campaign, branding Howard a “really clever politician”. But a really lousy shag.
Rudd claims Howard is one of the most cunning and clever leaders we’ve ever had, and it’s time Australia got the dumbarse leader it deserved.
Rudd is promising to deliver an exit strategy from Iraq. Which is nice, though what we really could have done with was some form of entry strategy.
Rudd is promising to deliver an exit strategy from Iraq. And really, at this stage, any strategy will do.
Rudd promises an “education revolution”, which will hopefully mean Julie Bishop’s head on a pike.
Rudd promises an “education revolution” – so bring on the guillotines!
Rudd promises an “education revolution”. And who needs detention when you’ve got a guillotine.
Rudd promises to not only abolish Work Choices, but to stop calling unionists “thugs”.
On the other hand, John Howard is offering the “Right Leadership” – the far Right Leadership.
Howard’s campaigning under the slogan “The Right Leadership” – because “The Right Leadership For The First Year Or So Before Handing It Over To Peter Costello” was hard to fit on a bumper sticker.
Howard says Labor doesn’t have the team to manage Australia, and certainly doesn’t have the eyebrows.
Howard pledges to create full employment by forcing the jobless rate below 4%, even if he has to kill every unemployed person himself.
Howard pledges to create full employment by forcing the jobless rate below 4% – although if he doesn’t win, he’ll be making that figure slightly higher by being unemployed himself.
Howard has promised that if re-elected, he’ll force the unemployment rate below 4%. As well as part-time and casual workers, anyone correctly completing a dole diary will now be counted as employed.
As well as part-time and casual work, from now on, watching daytime TV and suckin’ down bongs will also count as “employed”.
Howard will be able to push the unemployment rate below 4%, simply by redefining employment again.
Howard has promised that if re-elected, he’ll force the unemployment rate below 4%. But then he did promise to keep interest rates at record lows, and we all know how that turned out.
Howard’s going to reduce unemployment further by launching Work Choices 2, in which he will reintroduce child slavery.
Howard says Labor will increase unemployment & is anti-business – which is probably slightly better than increasing troop deployment and being anti-life.
Howard still claims he can control interest rates – with his mind.
Howard says that he’s best placed to point Australia into the future – by keeping us stuck firmly in the past.
Howard says he has the experience to point Australia into the future -that’s why it feels like we’re living in the 1950s.
Howard warns of wall-to-wall Labor governments, which could cause dangerous levels of harmony and co-operation.
Howard has promised to stand aside for Peter Costello well into his next term. Although he is proposing legislation to extend the parliamentary term to 60 years.
Howard suggested that “love me or loathe me, you know where I stand”. That’s right, he’s trying to appeal to the previously untapped “loathe me” demographic.
Howard says “Love me or loathe me”, he has the experience to point Australia into the future – although, if we loathe him at election time, he won’t be pointing anywhere but the local Centrelink office.
Howard acknowledges he will stand aside for Costello well into the term – otherwise the knife’ll get him right between the shoulder blades.
Howard warns that if Labor holds power there’ll be a lack of national balance – he says the whole country will flip over.
Howard says he’ll release policies on national security, climate change, water, child care & work incentives during the campaign – he didn’t know you were meant to deal with these things while you were still in office. / he didn’t quite get around to looking at them in his 11 years in power.
Howard is looking forward to meeting Australians, which he says is a “source of nourishment” he wants to continue. Otherwise he loses his powers and has to return to his reptilian form.
Howard looks forward to meeting Australians, which is a “source of nourishment” for him. He’s particularly nourished by refugees; he just loves foreign food…
