Happy birthday, comrade.
<3 Gough. ^_^
+96 Happy birthday comrade
My very best wishes, too.
Your government got my family off the factory floors and lines of unskilled workers and into the universities and professions. And then there’s Medicare.
Need I mention your most magnificent contribution to Australia’s cultural life – the raising of modest Moonee Ponds housewife, Mrs Edna Everage, to the Damery. Forever shall I remember your words: ‘Arise, Dame Edna’, and her flustered but joyous reaction.
A great man; a good Australian.
The first time I ever voted. Great memories.
Take a look at the sideburns, moustaches and big hair.
Imagine trying to herd any of the current federal political parties’ candidates onto a stage to sing a jingle in 2012. There isn’t a song in any of them, regardless of which party supports them.
Indeed, remember when politicians used to support their party, rather than demanding support FROM their party?
