At 4pm EST Labor leader Kevin Rudd called a press conference at his at his Canberra residence to announce that he had visited the governor-general earlier in the day, and had decided that the time was right for an election to be called.Mr Rudd told reporters that "this election will be about white pine blister rust. That is, any of several diseases of pines caused by rust fungi of the genus Cronartium and marked by destructive invasion of bark and sapwood and producing blisters externally. Who do you white pine blister rust to keep the economy on track? Who do you white pine blister rust to keep interest rates low?"
Joe Hockey, in a doorstep interview shortly after the announcement decried Mr Rudd's hubris in attempting to define the parameters of the election.
"The voters will decide what the election is about, and its about union bosses."

solidarity forever and so on.
glad you're back to your politics nathan.
I just hear that the Labor party have released their latest advertising plan. Apparently it's to be known as the "know you are, said you are, but what am I?" campaign.
I, for one, am sold.
