英语新闻：Australians Have Voted For Change澳大利亚新选总理
Australia elected a new government on Saturday.Kevin Rudd, the new prime minister, said he will make changes to the country's positions（立场）on a number of issues.
For example, Rudd plans to pull Australian soldiers out of Iraq. Also, Rudd has promised to sign the Kyoto agreement on the environment.
Australians voted for a different government, even though the country has had a strong economy in recent years. The candidate always makes promise when compete for voting, but sometimes, their promise is
not realized after they are succeeded. Telling lies!!!??? Yes, sometimes. Have you heard that the government is not like people's expectation.
And I think pulling Australian soldiers out of Iraq is really a good idea, hope it can be realized Kevin Rudd--陆克文（中文名字）, 澳洲工党领导人, 澳洲国立大学修读中文与中国历史,曾任澳洲驻中国外交官,是澳洲一位「中国通」。 Telling lies is a serious mistake in the Western's minds.
Government wills the promise to be fulfilled, but sometimes she can only make it work partially. Telling lies is a big shame.
