We were reminded of when we read about something that happened in #Australia, the #KevinRuddCoup. Wikipedia completely mis-characterised the defining moment in our #history.
Our understanding is Wikipedia do this a lot. Its clearly a 'political tool'.
We could say, believing it is "apolitical" makes one a 'political fool'.
(Yes it rhymes and is the worse attempt at humor today.)

Australia once self-identified as the "clever country".
That phrase has completely disappeared. Today we tracked down the exact moment the phrase vanished from the national consciousness…
It was the day we voted in #TonyAbbott as PM over Kevin Rudd.

He was good on #JulianAssange. He even arranged an effective #miningTax that would go into a #SovereignWealthFund for things we genuinely needed, like plans for a real #NBN (#fibreToTheHome) plan. During the GFC he gave $1000 to each person, swiftly averting the crisis. He was on a tear. He was even able to reduce the number of people coming to Australia to be #exploited.
But during the insulation scheme rollout a couple people died and…(6/9)

Again, #Australia is greeted to news of another coup, this time in #Myanmar.
Psst, don't think back too far to that time when they ousted the popularly elected PrimeMinister #KevinRudd in 2010.

Similarly, it freaks us out that 11 years have passed since the US-corporation-led coup against our popularly elected PM #KevinRudd, and virtually no one…
…has put 5 and 5 together…
…yet.

What is the difference between #Australia and #Venezuela?
When the #corporateMedia run #smearCampaigns against the popularly elected leader in Venezuela, their people didn't buy into it.
They said GTFO.
#Australians on the other hand, learned the #starfishApproach.

Four of many reasons why #KevinRudd was a great #Australian PM:
♡ #InsulationScheme: The #corporateMedia loved to hate the #pinkBatsScheme due to a few bad actors, but it was a massive success and reduced our #electricityConsumption by 30%. The #USA still cry out for one.
♡ #LowerImmigration: Despite publicly supporting a #BigAustralia, #Rudd presided over a big decline in #immigration (boosted stealthily by #JohnHoward).
♡ #MoneyToPeople during the #GFC - not #banks.
♡ #MiningTax: He tried.
