Australia Says No
Sun, 28 Oct 07

Note to non-Australians: This is a parody of a series of commercials that have been running in Australia for some time now, about violence against women. The Australian Liberal Party is the opposite of "liberal". Last year or so, Mr Howard introduced legislation that was supposed to be "workplace reform" but which led to a tremendous amount of unrest and, according to many reports, people losing their jobs or being very unfairly treated. When Mr Howard sent troops into Iraq, 90%+ of Australians were against it. Mr Howard has gotten caught time and time again in half-truths and outright lies, and has a whole string of broken promises behind him. Mr Howard has steadfastly refused to apologise for... well, anything. He pretty much wouldn't apologise if he shot God in the foot. (No, I don't like Mr Howard; according to current polls, a majority of Australians feel the same way.)
