Australias 28 Prime Ministers

[lind9650]

I was looking for just one, but got the information of all our Prime Ministers.

http://primeministers.naa.gov.au/primeministers/

Here one can read all about them and what they did or did not do for the country. Very interesting for just general information. It will keep me busy for a few days.

No, I'm pretty sure it was a Country ruled by a single party government.

This is the comment I was responding to.

I don't think the Noddy pic is mild at all but quite comparable to the graphics posted about Ms Gillard.

In the same vein, when current disasters such as the recent manufacturing closures are blamed on the current government, and opinions are aired that they are the actually the culmination of the previous governments policies, the common reply is to stop living in the past.

Can't have it both ways.

That comment was in reply to Carl's comment about 12 months ago.

Of course it's mild compare to many of the Gillard graphics.  Or did I miss the big black fake appendage?

Noddy is a children's character. How does he equate to big black strap ons?

the national socialists in Germany were a little loose with descriptions too..  if an nth american calls me a liberal thats not unwelcome, if it happens here everything changes in the blink of an eye

1) that the existence of classes is only bound up with the particular, historical phases in the development of production,

(2) that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat,
(3) that this dictatorship itself only constitutes the transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society.

above is from Marx

2. Socialism

3. Socialism is the transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society - that's Communism - that will take some time hasn't happened yet and you won't find one single Socialist country past or present that has called themselves such.

and that's all from me on this thread, not in holiday mood.
