A Hollywood style election campaign with media personalities and former rock stars have won Labor an election and installed Kevin Rudd as Australia's 26th Prime Minister.
With the 'Kevin 07' branding has signalled a time for change in the Australian Government and a return to Labor after 11 years.
Regardless of who you vote for, both political parties have introduced 'celebrities' to politics to run against seasoned, experienced and educated politicians.
To me, it reflects poorly on Australian society when the likes of Maxine McKew, Malcolm Turnball, Peter Garrett or Mike Bailey are considered candidates, let alone voted into their particular electorate.
Are we that uneducated that we have to have a 'name' or a celebrity that ensures we vote for a particular candidate.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the 'Governator' of California in what can only be described as a joke and here we are starting to vote in similar people to run our country.
It is laughable because they have no experience, knowledge or understanding of politics making a mockery of their party and the party process for candidates who may never become politicians in their own right.
Get real Labor, Liberal and Australia and start choosing people to represent your parties who are not only educated but are qualified to represent their electorate.
