The King is Dead, Long Live the King

Australia's heart is in Europe, its head in America. It claims it has Asian soul, but that's just the bully talking.

I don't think Australia necessarily has a better premier. The people just got tired of the old one. I mean, what's the difference really? The new one will still be the staunchest American ally even if he does bring home the boys from Iraq. The new will still wear the sheriff's badge even if he sign's the Kyoto Protocol ahead of Bush. Rudd has already pledged to govern as an "economic conservative," even as he curtails industrial reforms introduced by Howard.

It is the time for changing underwear down under. Period.
