We all know that Kevin Rudd got his inspiration from Donald Duck comics. Where does Julia Gillard’s inspiration come from?
Here she is announcing the election.
Instead, I believe this is a moment for all of us to strengthen, to innovate, to learn – in short, to move forwards, not backwards.
Well she gets her inspiration from The Simpsons.
In The Simpsons episode Citizen Kang, two aliens by the name of Kang and Kudos possess the bodies of Presidential nominees Bill Clinton and Bob Dole in an effort to take over the world.
The two find it surprisingly easy to usurp the democratic process, get elected and enslave the human race with a series of speeches full of empty political rhetoric.
Here’s Kang as Clinton’s speech which might give you an idea as to what the next month or two has in store for us.
My fellow Americans, as a young boy I dreamed of being a baseball.
But tonight I say we must move forward, not backward.
Upward not forward.
And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
Still, going forward is not just an empty expression.
Lots of people, Clive Hamilton, George Monbiot and most of the Greens would have us go back. They don’t say how far but the direction is clear.
