Kevin Rudd was voted out because he’s the stuffiest, most boring leader we’ve ever had, and that doesn’t reflect well on us as a nation because Oz is vibrant and fun!
I agree with “Essa_Snow” 100%. Kevin Rudd stuffed up and he has no longer support within his party and Julia Gillard (a Communist) decided to overthrow Ruddi and become Prime Minister in the most Undemocratic way.
We have a new prime minister because the legitimate elected prime minister, Kevin Rudd, was backstabbed by his deputy Julia Gillard, and the corrupt Union bosses as Bill Shorten.
Australian democracy stabbed in the back.
What next? hey lets just ask a refugee if they want to be prime minister to win the votes of the immigrant communities in South west sydney?
Julia Gillard and the Unions are traitors to our democracy. And there is only one thing we should do with traitors – string them up from the lights of George street.
In short, the new mining tax caused a stir of media against Kevin Rudd, this caused a lot of polls to reflect less favourably for Kevin Rudd, this scared his party, they started to lose faith and doubt him, so Rudd sent a messenger round to count his supporters in his party. This angered Gillard. She challenged him and when Rudd realised he didn’t have enough supporters in his party, he fell on his own sword.
