OZ Prime Minister Election 2010

inilah ke 2 calon perdana menteri Australia:

Julia Gillard Coalition

Julia Gillard has been sworn in as Australia's first female prime minister after Kevin Rudd stood aside instead of facing a leadership ballot.

Speaking to the media, Ms Gillard said she accepted the Labor leadership with humility, resolve and enthusiasm — and announced advertisements about the government's mining resources tax would be cancelled.

"I'm utterly committed to the service of this nation," she said.

"I will lead a strong and responsible government that will take control of our future."

Ms Gillard acknowleged she had not been elected prime minister by the Australian people and pledged to hold an election in coming months.

"I believe in a government that rewards those who work the hardest, not those who complain the loudest — the people who play by rules, set their alarms early, stand by their neighbours and love their country," she said.

"I will lead a strong and responsible government that will take control."

Wayne Swan will become deputy prime minister after an uncontested ballot, as well as keeping his current job as treasurer.

BHP announced it would stop its anti-resources tax advertisements after a plea from Ms Gillard. The company said it was "encouraged" by Ms Gillard's commitment.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said Gillard's victory was executed by "warlords" and the "Labor mafia."

He said Labor under Gillard would have the same "dud policies, as they did under deposed leader Kevin Rudd".

Abbott slammed the way Rudd was treated by his party, saying "this is no way to treat a prime minister".

He congratulated Gillard on her succession to prime minister, describing it as "the highest unelected office in the land".

Abbott also said Labor's policy on the mining super tax would not necessarily change under Gillard even though she has vowed to end advertising around the tax.

He also deflected questions about his perceived flirtatious relationship with Gillard, saying "it's not about us".

In her acceptance speech, Ms Gillard paid tribute to her parents as well as her predecessor Kevin Rudd.

"Ultimately Kevin Rudd disagreed about the direction of the government, but he is a man of wonderful achievement," she said.

"I know the Rudd government did not do all it could do and sometimes it went off track."

In a teary concession speech full of awkward pauses, Mr Rudd spoke of some of his government's highlights in the last two-and-a-half years, including the apology to the stolen generations and ratifying the Kyoto Protocol.

He also highlighted the work that he has done for the homeless and the hospital system including opening regional cancer care centres and creating an organ transplant authority.

He was flanked by his wife Therese Rein and his son Marcus.

Mr Rudd listed the apology to the stolen generation, keeping the country out of the global financial crisis and the education revolution as some of the achievements he was most proud of.

"I was elected by the Australian people as Prime Minister to bring back a fair go for all Australians, and I have given my absolute best to do that — I have given my absolute all," he said.

"I hope I've been able to demonstrate to you that this has been a very busy two and a half years."

Mr Rudd decided not to take part in a leadership ballot rather than face a defeat in the Labor party room shortly after 9am this morning.

Ms Gillard's father John said he was incredibly proud and excited to see his daughter become prime minister.

"I knew that Julia would be a formidable performer, but to rise to the highest office in the land was never in the forefront of my mind," he said.

"I think she'll be a prime minister that will build a fair and decent society for Australians, that she'll be a team player and hopefully unite the party behind her and face the election whenever it comes."

Ms Gillard's challenge to Mr Rudd came after the Australian Workers' Union withdrew its support and a group of young turk MPs threw a rocket under his prime ministership.

The drama is believed to have begun on Wednesday morning when NSW powerbroker Mark Arbib, Victorians Bill Shorten and Dave Feeney, and South Australian Don Farrell visited Ms Gillard to tell her they had lost confidence in the prime minister.

Late Wednesday Mr Rudd's leadership began to look untenable when senior union powerbrokers Paul Howes and Bill Ludwig threw their weight behind Ms Gillard.

Tony Abbott Opposition

New Liberal Leader Tony Abbott to focus on battlers, economy

TONY Abbott will steer the Liberal Party back to its conservative roots with a 2010 election campaign portraying Kevin Rudd as a big spender whose climate change policies will smash Australian jobs.

Liberal Party strategists have started crafting an election strategy that will target the Prime Minister as failing to deliver on promises that he would reduce the financial pressure on working families.

Sources told The Australian that party research showed battlers were angry that Mr Rudd had not only failed to cut financial pressures, but was proposing to add to the burden with his Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).

They said Mr Abbott, not burdened with Mr Turnbull's image as a silvertail, would target the old Howard battlers, while the resurgent Nationals would tap into the vein of rural discontent over the CPRS.

The Labor Party has wasted no time releasing an advertisement warning that the new Liberal leader would take the nation backwards on climate change and industrial relations, but Mr Abbott was unabashed, foreshadowing sharper policies on both issues to re-engage with his party's conservative core.

"We have spent too much time arguing over whether we might look right-wing or that we might look like a return to the Howard government," Mr Abbott told The Australian last night. "What we need to do is to apply to problems common sense and forget about the tags."

Real alternative?

Mr Abbott said he would pursue Mr Rudd for driving up interest rates with profligate spending, pointing to yesterday's decision by the Reserve Bank to lift the official cash rate by 0.25 percentage points to 3.75 per cent.

Earlier yesterday, he buried the Turnbull era with a promise of a tough election contest in which the Coalition would provide "an alternative, not an echo . . . a choice, not a copy".

"As leader I am not frightened of an election," Mr Abbott said after his victory. "I am not afraid of an election on this (ETS) issue. This is a $120 billion tax on the Australian public, and that is just for starters.

"We can't just wave that through the Parliament. As an Opposition, our job is to hold the Government seriously to account."

Promising a more consultative leadership style and a concerted effort to "heal the wounds" of the climate change war, Mr Abbott made it clear he did not plan wholesale changes to the frontbench.

Mr Abbott said the CPRS was "really an energy taxation scheme". He said he took climate change seriously and would go to the election with a climate change policy. "It just won't be this ETS," he said.

The new leader said millions of Australians saw the CPRS as a tax that would raise a massive Labor slush fund and that "a gargantuan majority" did not understand the implications of emissions trading.

He said his election campaign would take the same approach as Labor's Paul Keating used in his famous 1993 victory over a Liberal Party proposing to introduce a goods and services tax.

Mr Keating had said, "If you don't understand it, don't vote for it and if you do understand it you'd never vote for it", Mr Abbott said.

The Opposition Leader also foreshadowed industrial relations reform. While admitting the Howard government's Work Choices laws had gone too far, he said they had created two million jobs and that "a free and flexible economy" was vital.

Unified front

Within minutes of Mr Abbott's election, Senator Barnaby Joyce told the Senate the Coalition was now united and ready to take on Labor. He pledged to pick apart the CPRS "piece by piece".

Addressing his comments to Climate Change Minister Penny Wong, Senator Joyce said he was looking forward to campaigning among blue-collar workers in the construction, forestry and mining industries to explain Labor's plans to destroy their jobs.

"We are going to drive this agenda and drive it persistently and without equivocation," Senator Joyce said. "We will fight this piece by piece. From now on we have the capacity to unify this show."

After Mr Abbott's victory, Mr Turnbull said he was disappointed but had no regrets about his advocacy of the CPRS.

He said he would not spark a by-election by resigning from Parliament, but he was yet to decide if he would stand in his inner-Sydney seat of Wentworth at the next federal poll.

He also refused to rule out having another shot at the top job. "I'm not going to speculate on any of that," Mr Turnbull said.

He said he would not accept a frontbench job under Tony Abbott and would go to the backbench to ponder his future. "Lucy (his wife) and I are going to have a think about that over the holiday, discuss it with our children and we'll let you know in due course," he said

kesimpulannya : 2 2 nya merupakan karakter yang kuat dan imbang serta memiliki peluang menang yang sama,
namun tidak tertutup pula hal yang sama seperti yang dilakukan oleh para politikus untuk memenangkan dirinya seperti

abott dengan kampanyenya "untuk menghentikan warga australia dari pekerjaan buruh yang memiliki gaji minim"
dan senjata utamanya adalah tentang "Labor, labor and labor" yang dapat menjatuhkan Julia Gillard.

Keduanya memiliki ambisi untuk memenangkan posisi perdana menteri yang akan melanjutkan project ini.

namun seperti biasanya black campaign pun terjadi dimana-mana, namun hanya sebatas untuk membentuk opini publik, seperti "kemalangan buruh menjadi senjata bagi Abbott untuk menyerang Gillard" dan "keacuhan Abbott atas peningkatan pajak terhadap segala jenis barang yang ditimpakan kepada konsumen menjadi senjata Gillard untuk menjatuhkan Abott"

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is set to unveil a jobs policy which will pay unemployed young people up to $6,500 for finding and keeping jobs.

Mr Abbott will announce his plans to introduce the Job Commitment Bonus in a speech to the National Press Club in Canberra today.

The bonus would pay $2,500 to people under the age of 30 - who have been unemployed for more than a year - if they get a job and keep it for more than 12 months.

If they keep the job for two years, then they will receive another payment of $4,000.

"I want to build an opportunity society for everyone," Mr Abbott said.

"I am unveiling a new deal for young people who might otherwise be trapped in long-term welfare dependency.

"It will involve more help from the government, more effort from industry, and, more importantly, more expectations of young people.

"We'll do our part as a government and as a society, but we expect young people to lift their game too."

Mr Abbott will also match Labor's promise of a payment of up to $6,000 for unemployed people who move to a regional area to take up a job offer.
If they fail to keep the job for at least six months they will face a six-month suspension from welfare payments, which is three months longer than Labor's penalty.
