So the polls have been correct all these while...that kevin rudd is the new PM. I'm glad that he won cos he seems to be in touched with the people of Australia. He understands, he listens, he has the energy and wants to make Australia a better and stronger country. He gave a very good speech on saturday night and by Sunday morning, he's already giving his 2nd speech and has spoken to George Bush, Gordon Brown etc etc. I admire his energy and you can tell how motivated he is.
It is true that John Howard has helped reduce unemployment rates and the Australian economy has never been better. However, is that John Howard's contribution or is Australia just the lucky recipient of China's booming economy? He seems to be very focussed on the economy of Australia but many issues such as the problems within the Aboriginal communities, climate changes, health system and education system seems to be ignored. And if the economy is doing so well, why is the great Austalian dream of owning a house so difficult for people in their 20s-30s to own their own house?
John Howard has made enormous contributions but maybe because the economy is doing so well that we can afford to have a change of government and even if it is a mistake, the price to pay isn't as great. And looking at Kevin Rudd, I believe we have made the right choice. Many issues won't be resolved overnight but he has gained our trust that he will resolve it asap.
So congratulations kevin rudd, we have placed our faith in you...it's time you show us what you are capable of.
