November 25, 2007 (LPAC)--In the national Australian elections yesterday, Prime Minister John Howard, once dubbed by George Bush as a "man of steel" for his support for the Iraq war, lost both his government, and his own seat in the House of Representatives, which he held for 33 years. Howard's neo-conservative coalition government has been replaced by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and its New Labor leader, Kevin Rudd, an Al Gore friend, and a raving green fascist!
The combined electoral slate of the LaRouche Youth Movement and CEC scored the 9th largest vote total from amongst 21 political groups contesting the federal election, running 95 candidates across the country. For the first time in history, every single Australian had an opportunity to vote for LaRouche's solutions to the global financial crisis, with CEC candidates running in every state and territory focusing on LaRouche's emergency measures approach to save homeowners, useful banking and credit, and for rebuilding the physical economy through great infrastructure development and nuclear power. In particular, there is the urgency of defeating the green fascist genocide being pushed by the British Empire.
Whilst vote counting has not yet been finalized, the CEC scored approximately 0.21% of the national vote, some 28,000 votes total.
Among the outstanding losses for Howard, were the dumping of at least five prominent Coalition Ministers or Front Bench members. Those losing their seats included Mal Brough, the Cabinet Minister who spearheaded the Howard Government's recent "intervention" into the Aboriginal communities to seize control of precious mineral and other resources on behalf of Her Majesty's Rio Tinto and BHP/ Billiton.
Rudd's major campaign emphasis was on his (draconian) plans to deal with "climate change", about which the Murdoch-run Australian media has whipped up hysteria. Under Australia's insane preferential voting system (designed to entrench the major political parties), the pro-genocide Australian Greens Party directed their 7.64% of preferences in the House of Representative to the ALP, thus ensuring an overwhelming victory. Overall, there was a swing of 6% to the ALP.
With 9 out of 150 seats still undecided in the House of Representatives, the ALP has won 83 seats, the Liberal Party 47, National Party, 9, and two Independents.
Voting in the Senate will take some days to confirm however it would appear that the ALP with the Greens will hold the balance of power there, also overthrowing the Liberal/National Coalition. This will give a 100% control to Green Fascism across the nation, including control of each of the 7 State and Territory governments. It is extremely unusual for one party to hold both the Federal government and all State and Territory governments.
Approximately 76% of Australians voted in the election, around 10.5 million voters.
