John Howard - Australia Says No

[imre1000]

Pointless video.

The ALP is the one who breaks promises and expands Government.

I hope whoever made this has had to time to reflect over the last 3 years.

[AussiePolitics]

i completely agree with you. rudd is an embarrassment even by labor's standards - at least hawke and keating managed to make neoliberal reforms to the economy, which howard continued liberalising up the taxation system and labour. rudd seems to be just doing what state labor government have been doing for the past decade - just using a lot of spin to get elected, stay in office a long time and do shit all, and only lose office when the economy shits itself.

[AussiePolitics]

whoever made this ad is an absolute idiot. and i would say that if they did the equivalent one on rudd.

[OmegaRage]

What a fucking piece of shit! And I've never sworn while commenting on a Youtube video.

[KeepOurChildrenSafe]

In reserching the facts I found that any one who voted for Kevin Rud was brain washed by a labour inspired media....You idiots!!!

[Stephen19852009]

this would have made an excellent ad on TV

[RockyBalboa211]

Best prime minister ever!

[smadioneDotCom]

hey there Aussie fag

[RockyBalboa211]

Iam American! An American who loves John Howard!

[smadioneDotCom]

That makes since, I can now tell you who you are: You're a person who voted Bush Cheney '04, you are an evil conservative Christian, you are pro torture, you get your information from fox news and flush rush, and you're an anti-peace neo con

[RockyBalboa211]

I like Bush and Cheney, I am conservative catholic yet I would never consider myself evil, I dont agree with torture, and the only show I watch on Fox News is Huckabee, and peace has its place.

[AussiePolitics]

hey last time i checked mate obama's been the same shit, different colour.

[germanicelt]

This ad is so typically BS of the Labor Party. All propaganda and no truth.

[bennyboytalk]

k thats funny even though i love the liberal party

[ezzie1987]

You guys are sick, to take the serious issue of domestic violence and turn it into a joke for the sake of your pathetic left wing beliefs really says something about the morality of labor voters. Have some form of humaninty and even if u hate Johnny Howard dont stoop to such a level

[KillFrenzie]

Yeah, Howard is a joke huh?

[liber8me]

well at least howard fixed our economy

all he got was DEBT from labor

[KillFrenzie]

Fixed the economy? Yeah, you can believe what you want. He may have "fixed our economy", but in the process of doing that EVERYTHING else went downhill. If u add up the pros and cons of having Howard as priminister (let alone any liberal) i know the bad outway the good.

[liber8me]

talking to people who had home and business loans when labor was last in power id say he did a hell of a lot of good.

at least we had record low unemployment under howard. i guess having a job must help most families hey?

[KillFrenzie]

He helps businesses not familys that really need it? Why do u think they were trying to scare people away from unions? Unions are there for the workers. As for unemployment, everyone was forced back into work including people who should be retiring because of high interest rates and the increased cost of living. I've been here for 19 years and any idiot can get a job under any government. With howard in play we have no choice.

[KillFrenzie]

Oh and he helps the rich get richer and the poor get poorer I'm sure you know that. Want to pay for my uni?

[JustinFromSydney]

He didn't invade Iraq for its oil. He invaded Iraq because he knew it would never end. And while there's a war to win, people will naturally try to re-elect the leader who is still there to fight it. Too bad it drew out for so long that even the most pathetic of people could see what a ridiculous venture the war-in-iraq became.

[liber8me]

no howard assisted our allies in iraq.

you talk about it like it was australias idea to invade the country.

get real. we sent a small number of troops (compared to the other nations) to maintain our alliance with britain and america.

thats why he did it. and guess what? rudd thought there were WMD there too at the time

[JustinFromSydney]

Assisted our allies in Iraq at doing what?

[liber8me]

we sent some troops. the only reason australia did that was to maintain our alliance. if australia didnt have its allies the US and Britain we would be fucked.

i can think of quite a few nations that would like to get their hands on our uranium and natural minerals

[JustinFromSydney]

So if we didn't send our 400 troops to Iraq, then the USA would let us be invaded?

That logic aside, so what this comes down to, is white insecurity? You fear that Australia will be invaded by a notherly (non-white) neighbour?

And why would they invade Australia before they invaded each other? Well that's simple, it's because we're white of course....

[liber8me]

what does this have to do with race?

i said that australia has an enormous amount of valuable natural resources.

and mate, who cares about race - and invasion is an invasion?

WTF?

why do you think China is buying up huge amounts of shares in aussie companies?

and i was saying that we sent a number of troops because thats what allies do - we assist each other.

[JustinFromSydney]

Why would a country invade Australia when they already own us, due to something known as "privitisation", which is popular with a certain political party..?

and you are invoking race. You are imagining that a white dog needs to guard its bone (the mineral resources of Australia), lest an evil Asian neighbour invade us.

In addition, why would an Asian country invade Australia when record numbers of them were let in by Howard legally!

[liber8me]

WTF? stop bringing up race.

you're the one talking about asians and whites. australia is a multicultural nation - we're not all white.

and i was using it as an example as to why its a good idea to keep close ties to our allies

[JustinFromSydney]

You are basing your arguments on race, i'm just articulating them for you.

So, if you have a good tie with your neighbour. And he wants to go and attack someone. To keep the good relations, you must help him attack the other person?

[liber8me]

you're acting as if the entire iraq war effort depended on australia.

both john howard and kevin rudd at the time thought there were WMDs there, our allies were going in to remove a brutal dictatorship and so we assisted them.

[JustinFromSydney]

So, if you have a good tie with your neighbour. And he wants to go and attack someone. To keep the good relations, you must help him attack the other person?

[liber8me]

if it was justified.

at the end of the day, rudd and howard both thought there were WMDs, we went in there to assist our allies and maintain our international committments and we eliminated a brutal regime.

[JustinFromSydney]

and if you didn't help your neighbour attack someone else (whether or not it was justified), then your friendship would cease?

[liber8me]

well it would strain on the relationship if the US asked us to join a coalition and we told them to bugger off.

[JustinFromSydney]

Because they need our 400 troops so badly?

[liber8me]

no, because its the symbolism of the gesture. its an international effort.

they asked for assistance from an ally, we gave it to them.

[JustinFromSydney]

And if we didn't give it to them, then they wouldn't save us in the future from marauding asians....?

[liber8me]

wow you really have issues with race dont you.

[JustinFromSydney]

You're the one who said it, not me.

[thundaboxfan]

ah..The Howard fan Club is here too..

I say again.

YOU LOST AND YOUR THOUGHTS ARE IRRELEVANT!!

get over it,and let Kev,Julia and the ALP get on with fixing up 12 years of neglect,shit,and lies..

[RBird3]

Well, neglect, shit and lies have bought us record low unemployment, and record high economic growth, as well as a contraction in foreign debt. Seriously, if you look at it from an economic policy, Rudd's got no clue. He just unloaded MILLIONS onto the FeulWatch scheme, as his first act as prime minister, which doesn't help MODERATE prices; it just charts them on a website. Amazing first plan of attack there, Ruddy.

[thundaboxfan]

No,fuckhead..

First act as PM??

APOLOGY!

Do your research,otherwise you just look fucking stupid.

RE: fuel prices,look at the WORLD! Look at whats happening in Europe with the fuel strikes..Surely you ain't advocating a STRIKE?? A right wing suckhole like you?? Sureley not!

[daboom2006]

LMAO THIS IS FUCKING AWSOME!!

[theAdrian86]

video made me laugh...

doesnt really matter which puppet is in the high seat, ultimately the large corporations will dominate. Little by little we see morality, common sense, freedoms and god given rights fly out the window.

the power is in the people, stop throwing it away and falling for corporate scams.

i want to see this EARTH let alone Australia spiritally evolve so we dont allow greedy manipulative corporations and people to take control.

[yNeville]

funny how people make judgement when they don't even know the full story.

[xoxoguy007]

fuck this shit Ad.Allll about women.... this country and all people

[billbogg]

the Australians must have lost their marbles. Now they can look forward to high taxes and nothing working just like us in the UK. Why dont they play poker if they are bored.

[pi550]

So true!

[UrsBauer]

100% True! Bad economy form now on!

[lyinglyinglibs]

Thanks for the typically Colonialist view..

Not relevant at all,but thanks..

[stewie847198]

ha.

[gracii24]

hahahaha god i love this

[germanicelt]

Haha, and you people think that you will be better off under the criminal Labor party! Senator Palpatine has just been crowned Emperor, and in time Darth Sidious will be revealed.

[commiepartyofwarwick]

Criminal? It is the Liberal Party that is criminal. The Liberal-National government has started a criminal war in 2003. It used aid to get what it wants in the Asia Pacific area. It told lies to the Australian people.

[germanicelt]

The Lib government did not start the Iraq war, it supported it - the topple of the Sadam dictator, which one would have a point that it was not illegal because Sadam gained control of Iraq illegaly. The real lies were the ones that got Rudd into power. This was a set up by the media and Reserve Bank, and many swing voters bought it. Notice how straight away Rudd changed laws making it harder to sack the governor and deputy of the RBA???

[germanicelt]

...This was payback to the RBA for raising interest rates in the election campaign which helped Labor win. The Reserve Bank is not public, it is privately owned by an international banking cartel, that has a monopoly on issuing our currency. Just google 'moneymasters' and take the time to watch a 3.5 hour documentary that will reveal why we pay income tax, why we have inflation and who really controls our country and the world.

[lyinglyinglibs]

"This was payback to the RBA for raising interest rates in the election campaign which helped Labor win."

WOW!! I have read some paranoid conspiracy in my time on the web,but THAT takes the cake!!

Thanks germ,thats the best laugh I have had since I last saw "Just-call-me-brendan"s last popularity figures. or let me guess,they were

made up by Darth Vader or the Man in The Moon?

[germanicelt]

If you noticed the RBA stop raising interest rates a while ago, and don't tell me its because of the economic downturn in the USA. This subprime mortgage crisis started in the middle of last year. The RBA knew full well of the danger ahead but continued to raise rates right till the end of the year. I don't have time to explain it all, especially to simpletons, but just go watch the documentary I mentioned. I'll send it to you, and if you really care about power to the people, you'll watch it.

[googlekilledbambi]

Sounds like a thrilling start to 2008. Can't wait!

[lyinglyinglibs]

Criminal??????

go away,little baby..

Some serious anaysis not steeped in Star Wars bollocks and ppl might take you seriously,but I doubt it..

[germanicelt]

I used the Star Wars analogue to help little children, such as yourself, understand what is going on. Six months ago I said the Emperor in Palpatine would start to come out, and it is clear by the latest opinion poll that other see this too. Rudd is all back swing, and no follow through. And yes I said CRIMINAL. Just look at the NSW state government. ALP the peoples party? For the worker? Maybe 100 years ago, but today - no way.

[lyinglyinglibs]

get a grip,loser.....

WALL TO WALL!!!!

HAHAHA !!

[germanicelt]

To many lame left wing ratbags floating around this country. You're one of them. Oh well, at least I tried.

[liber8me]

not anymore. poor NSW, stuck with a shitty alp government for another 2 and a half years.

WA is back in coaliton hands and in a few years queensland and NSW will be too

[JustinFromSydney]

I always question people who have some allegiance to the liberal party. Such people are 1 of 2 types of people - either the liberal party policitians themselves, or people who are deceived into thinking that the Liberal party stands for what they do.

[liber8me]

or it could be because we know what labor was like the last time they were in power and remember how badly they fucked things up

[germanicelt]

Think you are describing the Labor Party.

[liber8me]

agreed. i liked old labor - when the party stood for a fair days pay for a fair days work.

now its been highjacked by a bunch of socialist academics with no life experience. take rudd for example - never worked a real day in his life - what does he know about average australians?

at least turnbull was smart enough to make his money from scratch - rudd had to get his wife to do all the work

[germanicelt]

Mrs Rudd probably got all her business through political contacts of Kevin747 anyway, like all the Labor pollies that preach fairness for the worker. They all line their pockets in the process, through government contracts. What great role models for socialism.

[googlekilledbambi]

Brilliant! Thanks for doing your bit to rid this country from Dr evil, AKA John Winston HoWARd and his relentless assault on our democracy.

[commiepartyofwarwick]

Don't for get the attacks on worker's rights in the work place.

[vintagous]

Clever, but completely biased.

[JetJockey87]

1800 Propaganda maybe?

As if people watching will suddenly go

"Hey! They're right! QUICK! LETS GO CHANGE OUR LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES!"

[andyfinegan]

AND WE DID!

[Tim8336]

[Georgette83]

1800 STUPID!

[DaanieBoy]

ZOMG! LOLZ!

[smack0909]

bloody liberal

[benzone50]

nice! very well thought out. peace, ben.

[petergoesonair]

Clever use of the ad to show the connection between all forms of violence from domestic violence to international violence. Very clever.

[czancan]

High-larious. Good on ya's...

[whatitsname]

this is great! a great take on the original advertisement and an important message indeed!!

[islandhome4me]

Mr Howard,

I'm 67, a mother of three adult children, all good tax paying hard working Australians. I also havefour grandchildren. I lost my last fulltime job at aged 50. Since then I have worked as a casual and since age 62 have also received a partial age pension. A good citizen you would think. BUT I have been a union member for 50 years.Does thata make me a bad citizen? Your scare campaign about unions, their leaders and their members deeply offends me.

Elizabeth Johnston

[Miyabiii]

soon you will be on the pension.. enjoy the neglect from the rudd government :)

[lyinglyinglibs]

Miyabiii,

Typical Lib,all scare,no content..
