'I bet you fell for the famous "no child living in poverty" promise too.'

What I most remember about Bob Hawke
was how (upon taking office) he put an
end to years of bitter Liberal-caused
industrial strife by holding an 'economic
summit' in Canberra at which was
forged an historic 'Accord' that saw
the Prices Surveillance Authority
keep an eye on prices and the
Abriration Court keep an eye
on wages.

A marvellous period of industrial
peace and productivity followed.

To return us back to the bad old
days of Master/Serf disputation
the Liberals abolished both the
prices watchdog and the wages
arbitrator.

The other aspect of the Hawke
years I vividly remember is
when the Chinese communist
crack-down on student protests
in Tianamin Square made
thousands of Chinese students
studying in Australia fearful of
returning home, a Prime Minister
all freedom-lovers can be
proud of did NOT deport
them or shove them into
an electrified Labor cage.

He granted the WHOLE blooming lot
asylum on 'fear of persecution'
grounds - from whence they
have moved seamlessly and
productively into mainsteam
Aussie life - some with great
distinction but all with great
gratitude towards a wise
and courageous Aussie PM

What a vivid contrast to the
mean-spirited kid-caging
attitude of the current PM!

BTW: Bennalong has a larger
Chinese-Australian population
than most other parts of Sydney.

NOW try and tell me that
Karma does not exist!

The little kid-cager is on the way out!

And I did not have to engineer
his richly-deserved downfall.

Howard (the kid cager) did that
to himself all by himself as
surely as night follows day.

But I'd be wary of expecting
too much from a Rudd win.
