Labor Party's Campaign Launch

Posted by: 3AW Radio | 16 August, 2010 - 12:13 PM

The Prime Minister has declared the best days of Australia are ahead not behind, while launching Labor's official election campaign.

Ms Gillard has also pledged 250 million dollars to provide rebates for online medical consultations for people living in remote areas.

Ms Gillard says she'll focus on jobs, the economy and education to propel Australia forward.

The Prime Minster also started using a slogan similar to Barack Obama's "Yes we can".

Toppled Labor leader Kevin Rudd received a standing ovation as he arrived for the party's official campaign launch in Brisbane.

The former prime minister has been accompanied by outgoing defence minister John Faulkner.

Both Mr Rudd and another former Labor leader Bob Hawke have been given rousing applause at the Brisbane Convention Centre.

Mr Hawke has told the audience Labor's economic stimulus package has been endorsed by Nobel prize winning economist Professor Josephy Stiglitz.

John Kelly you worry me you sharpish little devil.
There is more . If only the world could see the known unknowns. Ivette, Penny other. Mauve shirts.
Well, with BBrown and huggers into the circle soon we may be in for a real shock. By the way can we import our own Ciciolina?
We will have to start praying for salvation soon as Gillard recommended, by mistake, or we will end up...hard to tell where.

Kevin Rudd being a person of GREAT ACHIEVEMENT and she repeats that again and again.
What she did not elaborate is how come they all lumped him.
The audience must have all been snoozing while she came to that or Kevin Rudd must be so isolated and alone that he is the only dumb one dreaming to be back with that mob.

In the Courier mail today 17.8.10. on page 4 & 5 is a photograph of PM Gillard hugging her father. Standing behind is handbag Tim. But lurking behind in the background and obviously pasted for a significient purpose is Julia's same sex friend Yvette D'ath member for Petrie.

Tell me Craig, who funds all the construction you so seem to dislike, that's right big business, hmmm. Confused?

Cheryl Tuesday 17 August, 2010 - 8:51 AM
No mention of climate change or of any action to look after our environment. No target for reducing our dependancy on immigration & protecting our towns & communties from urban sprawl & dislocation. The ALP is too dependant on the union dominated construction industry for all that.

Poor old bob hawke thought he came into office in 1953. Poor great fellow must be back on the drink. Mind yoy a great PM was in power in 1953.
