OPEN LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIADear John
It's time, John.
It's time to go to the polls to see whether or not the people of Australia still love you or whether they really want a quickie divorce.
Don't worry about the polls - you have always said the only poll which counts is the one on election day.
It's 3 years ago today since the last Federal election but the longer you cling to power - using Constitutional trickery - the more you look like the convicted felon on the scaffold vainly making a very long speech in the forlorn hope of avoiding the hangman's noose.
The last time a Prime Minister lost his seat in Parliament was Stanley Bruce in 1929. Now, the ALP's Maxine McKew stands an excellent chance of toppling you. You have been a member of Federal Parliament since 1974 and Prime Minister since 1996, so do you really want to prolong the agony?
It's time, John. John, John - are you listening anymore?
John, can you hear that ringing in the distance?
"For whom the bells toll?" you ask.
"They toll for thee".
Yours sincerely
The People of Australia
