Aussies go over to the dark side of liberalism

AP/NY Times:

Labor Party leader Kevin Rudd swept to power in Australian elections Saturday, ending an 11-year conservative era and promising major changes to policies on global warming and his country's role in the Iraq war.

''Today Australia has looked to the future,'' Rudd said in a nationally televised victory speech, to wild cheers from supporters. ''Today the Australian people have decided that we as a nation will move forward ... to embrace the future, together to write a new page in our nation's history.''

...


This is a step backwards for the land of Oz. It means weakness in the face of the enemy, wasting money on globo warming mush, and ruining the economy. The Aussies can also expect more political correctness nonsense. It is a sad day for Australia. I am sure Osama bin Laden is pleased with the results.

CNN's report on the new demonstrates more bromides from the new PM:

...

"I will be a prime minister for all Australians," he told the cheering crowd. "Let us be the generation that seizes the opportunity of today to invest in the Australia of tomorrow. That's the mission statement we have as the next government of this country."

He added, "I want to do it with all of us working together."

...


If he really believed that he would not be a liberal.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
