Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd
You’ve all heard the story before. There was a white bull, a red bull and a black bull oh and a (hungry) lion too. As they set off on a long and arduous journey together, full of danger due to many obstacles and wild animals along the way, the lion pulled aside the red and black bulls and explained that the white bull, due to the way it stood out so blatantly, should be sacrificed for the long term safety of the group.
They both agreed, and the lion proceeded to eat the white bull.Not too long after, the lion pulled aside the black bull and convinced it that the bright red bull had now become the threat to their safety. And so the red bull was duly eaten.After a little while, the lion turned to the black bull and said, “My friend, it’s now time for me to eat you.
”The black bull resignedly replied to the lion, “No doubt, for indeed I died the day the white bull died.
The white bull is Kevin Rudd, the Red bull is Julia Gillard and the black bull is the labor Party and the hungry lion is the faceless man.
The day the labor party sacrifice Kevin Rudd (The White Bull) was indeed the day the black bull died.
The white bull didn’t really died just when into standby mode. The greens take power in the senate, meaning the black bull (The labor Party) will need their approval or the opposition’s to get legislation through parliament.
The Red bull popularity at all-time low Nielsen poll confirms that the Labor Party remains near its historic low point among voters and would decisively lose an election held today.
Time will tell if the Red Bull wakes up from standby mode, and give young activist fair go, so they can become tomorrow leaders.
Part 2 Out tomorrow.
