On the other hand and on a more serious note, she may most likely lower the original taxes set up by Rudd against the mining companies, which should be good because then the mining companies will most likely not have to lower their workers wages. Got this off CNBC (except for the worker wages part, but I'm assuming thats what would happen by logic, some please correct me if I'm wrong).
Rudd should probably be appreciated for getting Aus troops outta foreign lands and successfully staving off the global recession in Australia. What he shouldn't be appreciated for is not being able to secure any of the global warming crap he promised, until 2013.
Also, it seems Gillard was forced into the job by other party members.
Anyways, thats what I understand of Aus politics. Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere.
(I wouldn't have written a wall of text if this was posted in Flood you know..where it probably deserves to be anyway).
