Good news:

SYDNEY/CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia's conservative leader Tony Abbott swept into office in national elections on Saturday as voters punished the outgoing Labor government for six years of turbulent rule and for failing to maximize the benefits of a now fading mining boom.

Abbott, a former boxer, Rhodes scholar and trainee priest, promised to restore political stability, cut taxes and crack down on asylum seekers arriving by boat.

Former boxer

Harry Reid also did a little boxing in his youth; so I’ll reserve judgement on that item in Mr. Abbott’s résumé.

Rhodes Scholar

So was pervert Bill Clinton. I’ll assume Abbott is made of better material.

Trainee priest

My natural distrust of all priests makes that item a bit scary. It can go either way. Abbott can apply Thomas Jefferson’s separation of church and state in Australia, or he can move his country a step closer to theocracy if he gets the opportunity. Pray for the former and watch out for the latter.

Restore political stability

Restoring political stability is the first goal for any country in turmoil, but not so easy to achieve. I wish Mr. Abbott luck. He’ll need it. Defeating Australia’s Labor party did not defeat Australian parasites any more than a conservative American president defeats entrenched parasites in the USA.

I can only wish that Mr. Abbott knows that Parasitism is a worldwide movement not to be dismissed lightly. Basically, in addition to the domestic enemies Abbott has to fight daily he has to ward off pressures from the UNIC (United Nations/International Community). His enemies are spread around the globe; American Socialists not the least of them. If Mr. Abbott plans to implement a conservative, pro-Australia, agenda he should understand this one thing about America as an ally. Democrats betrayed their own country to the UNIC since 1945; so they will not hesitate one second when it comes to betraying Australia; most especially when it comes to defending Australia’s sovereignty.

Cut taxes

Cutting taxes is doable although I cannot say if Australia’s Labor party has the same power American Democrats wield when it comes to blocking tax cuts. Indeed, talk of tax cuts in America usually end in a tax increase.

Nautical “asylum seekers”

Australia has a trickier illegal immigration problem than does the USA. Australia is too large to call an island; so they call it a continent. That means that illegals have to invade by boat. On the plus side the “Let’s build a fence” lie told by Republicans in this country is off the table.

I wonder if Abbott is considering gunboats to turn back illegal immigrants on boats?

Finally, Australians fight alongside Americans more than any other country. That makes them this country’s best ally in my book. All things considered Mr. Abbott is a breath of fresh air at this point in time. Will he stand fast against worldwide Socialist incrementalism in the years ahead? Stay tuned for the answer.

Tony Abbott is important because I believe Americans should start paying more attention to Australia, and the Southern hemisphere, than they pay to all those rotting European countries who brought so mush bloodshed to the modern world not to mention Socialism/Communism. My only reservation is not knowing how Abbott and Australians feel about the United Nations. I’m certain that Australia has its share of UN-lovers, but my impression is that the vast majority will put sovereignty above everything else.

Here’s a picture of Abbott and his family:

Click on the link, move the cursor to 4:00 to hear Abbott dump Cap & Trade, and promise to stop illegal immigration. Good signs for the future:

IRON ERNA​

Planet Earth going conservative from top to bottom is a wondrous thing to contemplate. But Norway going conservative! I can see Australia, not Norway. The country whose parliament appoints the committee that hands out the Nobel Peace Prize is a little hard to swallow considering the characters who win.

Oh well, maybe Iron Erna will emulate the best Iron Lady —— Margaret Thatcher.


Norway Elects a Conservative as Its Premier Erna Solberg, nicknamed “Iron Erna,” will be Norway’s first conservative leader since 1990 and its second female prime minister.
By KATRIN BENNHOLD

LONDON — A little more than two years after a far-right, anti-immigrant militant killed 77 people, many of them teenagers, Norwegian voters ousted their center-left government on Monday, paving the way for the conservative leader, Erna Solberg, to assemble a governing coalition that may include an anti-immigration party.

Abbott begins well:

Australia’s newly elected prime minister pulled no punches when giving his thoughts on the country’s carbon tax, which he says must be abolished as quickly as possible

“The carbon tax is bad for the economy and it doesn’t do any good for the environment,” Abbott told The Washington Post. “Despite a carbon tax of $37 a ton by 2020, Australia’s domestic emissions were going up, not down. The carbon tax was basically socialism masquerading as environmentalism, and that’s why it’s going to get abolished.”

“If the Labor Party wants to give the people of Australia a Christmas present, they will vote to abolish the carbon tax. It was damaging the economy without helping the environment. It was a stupid tax. A misconceived tax,” Abbott added.
