John Howard Concession Speech

[Steven2690]

How un Australian it should be cricket bats

[timdenn]

What a terrible terrible video.

[itsiibitsii]

is this suppose to be funny? coz if it is its not. and besides who ever is arguing about whos better, u must have a really boring life. and thats exactly what politics are, BORING

[jarrod3]

you know what people,

the country is fucked now we have rudd

[Tchom22]

what the hell are you basing that on? Under Howard, we've been sent into two unnecessary and unpopular conflicts, he's ignored global warming, he's tried to replace on finite energy source with another finite energy source, instated unfair workplace laws to protect businesses and not individuals,

[nerv2004]

dude under howard weve had the lowest level of unemployment (which was thought to be impossable to have in 1996) in the countries history, he has grown relationships with countries like the usa which has given us free trade agreements with them and our economy is kicking ass with the aus dollar trading at about 88 US cents when he was kicked out and the IR laws were made to that unions couldnt stuff up the economy again with strikes like in the past

[nerv2004]

also can anyone tell me how rudd plans to reduce co2 emissions by that much without fucking the economy up???

[dirtyliar]

Do you just memorise what Howard told you or do you actually know what youre talking about. I see that you dont care to acknowledge the negative impacts Howards regime had on this country. Lowest level of unemployment includes ppl who work 3 hrs a week, not much money in that to raise a family! The US/Oz relationship is all about Bush needing backup to take the moral majorities eyes away from his oil thieving. Our economy kicking ass, take a look, we R being ripped off, our $ is worth so little.

[dirtyliar]

The unions are like the eyes of justice influencing the decisions of corporate greed, ensuring that after all the CEOs get their pay rise that there is still some money for the people who hold this country together-the WORKERS.

Without Labor Oz would have NO Medicare & NO Pensions or benefits. Learn our political history before shooting your mouth off.

[nerv2004]

hey dude i no about the negitives the howard governemt has brought to the country not every government is perfict i mean look at the whitlam government :) ohh and i also agree that without the unions and the labor party we wouldnt have medicare and pension because yes they were created by labor governments so yes im sorry if it seamed as if i didnt like unions and some of labors ideas and stuff

[nerv2004]

howard got it unemployment down to around 5% or very close to it which is very bloody good. this may include the ppl who work 3 hrs a week but do u think that they would make up even 5% of the australian work force? its still alot better then the rate of unemplyment the howard governmet inherited form the keating labor government in 1996.

[nerv2004]

now the US/OZ relationship maybe just about bush and his oil (i recon it prob was) but still because howard did align himself with the US it created greater trade links which are good for the economy and help it to grow so howard did the right thing in order to keep his country and people in as best care he can which is his job as leader of the nation to improve OUR nations position in the world .

[nerv2004]

yes i no our $ is worth nothing compared to the euro and the pound but that is bloody obvious oz is an insignificant country in the asian region. but the fact that our country could have money which is worth 88 us cents per dollar is bloody good mate no matter what u say!

[nerv2004]

i do no our australian history mate and the fact of the matter is labor governments have come into office spent lots of money and improved our way of life which is good but then have crippled the economy for the next 5 years after that look at whitlam, chifly, keating just to name the main ones

in any case who actually employs ppl? do the unions employ people and pay them? No businesses do! so maybe u should learn some more facts before u question mine mate.

ps sorry about the length

[zhukie]

Ahh one of "Howard's children" lol

Your not old enough to remember another Govt are u? :p

[zhukie]

(that was @ jarrod3, btw)

[jarrod3]

i may but be older eneuogh,

15...

BUT

i do no what im talking about,

rudd says the interest rates are right up,

they were the lowest they have ever been with howard!

you know what annoys me,

how labor said that howard was going to reitre!

he nevre mentiond that!

fuck!

[zhukie]

wtf? you really have swallowed the Howard spin huh

Lesson no 1 for you:

interest rates were 6.1% when keating lost in '96 - LOWER than they are now.

Lesson no 2:

Howard said he would retire within the current term if re-elected.

Get your facts straight kid

[jarrod3]

really?

grrrrr...

MUM

lol

i basically just listen to her.

I HATE POLITICS!

agreed?

[zhukie]

afraid so lol

shows you can't always trust your mum hey :p

[jarrod3]

HAHA

yeah true.

im still a liberal boy though..

although rudd seems to be doing some good things.

[kickittome70]

Thats right zhukie - Howard preyed on ignorant, dumbed down humanoid, consumer droids like Jarrod - Keating wanted us to move forward to take our place in the world with pride and distinction, but most importantly - independence. I sum up Howard supporters like this - Imagine W.Bush and Howard in the desert. W is bending over with his head in the sand. Howard has his head up bushes ass. Then you have all the Howard fans with their head up Howards ass. Really sums it up i think.

[liber8me]

what a load of shit. the only good things keating ever did were his neo-liberal reforms of the economic system in the 80s. by the time he was pm labor had grown old. the recession we had thanks to them removed any further taste for reform.

[liber8me]

lessen 1 for you - interest rates are always low during a RECESSION and australia was still recovering from the worst recession in decades when howard took over. bragging about having low interest rates in a recession in so laughable only a labor supporter make shit like this up

[kickittome70]

To be honest - if they're in Canberra, wearing suits - fuck em. Couldn't give a stuff if they're Labour, Lib, Nats or Greens -they're all a pack of cunts - we should have a referendum to replace our useless pollies with computers. I'd love to be the bloke to tell them that in 2 weeks they'll be unemployed. NO more massive wastes of money,no more interference by skewing stats, no more intererence in intererst rates.Low interest rates are 1 reason we're in so much shit now. NO one saves anymore

[liber8me]

mate they're trying to make you swallow labor spin. just so you know, interest rates are low during a recession because the reserve wants people to spend more. keeping interest rates low during the good times is what howard did and took skill. keeping interest rates low during a recession can be done by any incompetent government because people lose their jobs and stop spending money.

[kickittome70]

The idea that you are more intelligent than me because you vote for the Coalition keeps working people like us divided. It's a game that has sucked in 99.5% of us, WE are basically given to piles of shit and we a then forced to choose one. Turnbull - cunt, Rudd - cunt, Bob "cocksucker" Brown - cunt, Peter Garrett - cunt, Nick Minchin - cunt. Wayne SWan - cunt - fuck em they're all a pack of useless cunts and we should replace em with computers asap.

[800Billabong008]

no seriously

i think that rudd is going to stuff up Australia

and i'll be watching, saying ''haha i told u so!''

i just hav a feeling

[armenianpride2126]

ye i agree wid you

[EWatsonLover]

Yeah, I agree. But still, Rudd's better than Howard.

Vote Bob Brown! ^^

[evil221884]

Whitney Houston's husband???

[kickittome70]

Rudd is a moron. THe countries fucked. Too much immigration, too many hand outs, too much control - we're a nanny state. The trouble is that most of us a sooo stupid that wee probably would know what to do with total freedom if we did actually have it. You see, we are just here to provide labour and pay taxes. WE do what we're told and we dont a argue. Keep working, drink as much as possible and believe everything you see and hear on mainstream media. And dont get any dumb ideas like freedom.

[liber8me]

can i just ask mate are you a libertarian or liberal (by liberal i mean classical or neo)

[melbn]

elma fudd k rudd has warned power bills are to rise i see lol here we go!! lube up australia.

[melbn]

The labor party today announced it is going to change the Australian emblem from a emu and a kangaroo to a condom.

This is because it reflects the Labor party's political stance more accurately. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks,and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being fucked !!!!

REGARDS

KEVIN'07

[poltoons]

I seem to remember the Democrats using this line about the Republicans as far back as 2003 - indulging in a bit of 'me-toosim' melbn?

[kassonica]

Lest it wasn't a dildo like the liberal party, bend over cause we gonna shaft you, and you will like it

[MasonHellCat]

good to see you accepted defeat so well melbn.

[kassonica]

LOVE IT MORE PLEASE

Howard was a Douchebag

[luvinsanity]

are you australian? if so are you under 20 years of age?

[DpressdAussie]

im australian, 24, dont really care about politics, but this is funny and real aussies know u have to laugh at urself to laugh at others. FACT - time 4 power change in this beautiful country of ours, 1 of the safest in the world. i got knowledge and brains so dont think im a twit.

[luvinsanity]

thats ok, just sayin most kids have no idea what its like when the economy goes to hell - they think its always gona be like this

[kassonica]

YES, NO. but yes it was very funny and yes he is a DOUCHEBAG.

Oh and liar and servant to corporations, took us to a war to placate his mate Bush and didn't care about the planet only about power.

Yes A BIG FUCKING DOUCHEBAG

[luvinsanity]

wtf is your problem, he made a great speech, I'd like to see you do better (rudds speech wasnt as good- how many times did he hav to say 'our nation australia' - i know what country i live in)

[DpressdAussie]

u kno the problem luvinsanity??? rudd won, wait 4 years and try bring sum other old liberal dooch into the mix, all i got to say is - go lick howards balls!!

[luvinsanity]

dude ive got no problem with rudd- chill out

[poltoons]

I agree, Rudd's speech was pretty uninspiring and way too long - but this was probably going to be my last opportunity to animate John Howard. His departure was a sad day for satirists.

[bumspew]

wtf is this budget shit

[thruglow]

what the fuck is wtf?

[bumspew]

what the fuck is what the fuck i mean wtf?

[thruglow]

wtfiwtfimwtf? It wasn;t a serious question - I'm just sick and tired of seeing people use the acronym wtf - it's overused, lazy, and cliche. Nothing personal - just venting...

[gerantgerant]

Fun vid.

[Cyrius01]

well done!! great stuff right the way through the whole campaign!

[poltoons]

thanks, Cyrius - I have to say, the satirist in me is a little sad to see Johnny go...

[Cyrius01]

I know the feeling! There is plenty of work to do, but it is a tougher challenge now to get the message to cut through. Howard was an easy target..
