Stuffin' letterboxes

Maud Up The Street is hopping mad - this week she found her letter box stuffed with advertising even though a "No Junk Mail" sign was clearly displayed.
What makes her even more annoyed is that of the 5 separate bits of bumpf lobbed at her by Woolworths, Aldi, The Reject Shop, Crazy Clarks and Cellarbrations - only one of these stores is in her local area. The rest are over 50 klms away.

Well that's telling her! Those flying monkeys take to the air in pursuit of Julia Gillard

Female, redheaded, unmarried, childless, self-declared non-believer and a former students union leader - one knew it wouldn't be long before the seriously strange inhabitants of Wingnut Land came out against new Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

This is the opening salvo on a Facebook group Julia Gillard Is A Communist, A Traitor And A Threat started by one Paulus in 2007 and now assisted by 236 followers as of last Monday:

Julia Gillard is a traitor, a communist and a threat to Australia if Rudd gets into power.

Barren, heartless, no clue about family and no sense of god. Just read the article below about her time during the 80's to get some idea about her beliefs. .....Don't kid yourself people don't change, she's playing the wolf in sheeps clothing.........

Like all communists, she is evil, souless, godless and corrupt.

She and her union run left-wing labour cronies must be stopped at all costs.

While this group Julia Gillard - Charged for Treason (created by Australian Constitution, Aaron and Greg with 353 followers) which popped up around 27 June 2010 goes even further, by rendering a rather unique interpretation of certain laws and blaming then fairly new federal MP Gillard for state legislation introduced in West Australia in 2003 and Victoria in 2000:

Julia Gillard - Charged for treason - concealing the following offenses from the people of Australia as the then Deputy Prime Minister.

Sections 121 through to 130 of the Acts Amendments Repeal Courts and Legal Practice Act, state the removal of the Crown from Western Australia.

None of which have had the required referendum.
We have not had a referendum since 1999.

In case you hadn't noticed - the Kiwis have beaten us to the post again

They beat us to the post on universal suffrage in 1893, their All Blacks regularly give Oz a pasting on the sports field, they successfully invaded Bondi without using an army, navy or airforce and now New Zealand has beaten us to the punch by passing a national emissions trading scheme into law on the 1st July 2010.

C'mon Prime Minister Gillard - are you really going to let those demmed Kiwis get the better of us again?
