Such was the success of my previous post, HOWARDS WAY IS THE ONLY WAY, that I have had numerous invitations from the MSM to offer my services. Hedley Thomas said, ‘You are the tour de force of modern journalism’.. Michelle Grattan said, ‘ You are what Fairfax, needs.’ And Tony Abbott said: ‘NO”… I could go on …
So here it is folks…the chance to predict what will be the ALP slogan for the 2113 election.
Here are some past slogans:
1951: “What Labor Promises, Labor Will Do
1961: “Let’s Put People First”
1963: “Time For Action”
1966: “Vote ALP and End Conscription” / “What Price Freedom”
1969: “Labor, Where the Action is”/ Join the swing to Labor
1972: “It’s Time”
1974: “Go Ahead” / “ Whitlam, he’s so much better”
1975: “ Shame, Fraser, Shame”/ “Advance Australia Fair”
1977: “Get Australia Working”
1980: “Raise the Standard”
1983: “Bob Hawke: Bringing Australia Together”
1984: “Put Australia First”
1987:” Let’s stick together” / Let’s See it through.
1990:”Bob Hawke For Australia’s Future.
1993: “Australia deserves better”
1996: “Leadership”
The rest are far too crappy to even mention.
So there you have it.
What will/could be the ALP slogan in 2013?
Will it be: “Julia by a neck”: “Gillard: A nose in Front”: “Abbott: Why bother”
And please, keep it light. It’s been a long week.
