Philip Maxwell Ruddock (born 12 March 1943) is an Australian politician who is currently a member of the House of Representatives representing the Division of Berowra, New South Wales, for the Liberal Party of Australia. First elected in a 1973 by-election, he is the only Member of Parliament from the period of the Whitlam government (1972 � 75) and the Fraser government (1975 � 83) still serving.

He is currently the third longest-serving Member of the House of Representatives, and the third longest-serving parliamentarian, in the history of the Australian Parliament. During the Howard Government (1996 � 2007), Ruddock served continuously in the Coalition Ministry, taking on various portfolios, most notably those of Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs from 1996 until 2003, and Attorney-General from 2003 until 2007.

'Our Judy' The member for Hornsby retires from politics after serving her electorate and the State of New Sout Wales for 9 Years. The 'Pythonesque' animated opening to many of you won't mean much as there are few 'In jokes' that with a room full of liberal pollies & supporters went over very well and full understand. There is also a little joke between Judy and I in there involving the former Transport Minister Carl Scully. BUT... when you get into the main section of this film you will get a glimpse of how hard Judy as our State representiative worked so tirelesly for the Entire 9 years. My thanks to Christine and the Hornsby Electorate Staff, The Bush Telegraph, Darren Hart Photography and Judy's succsessor, Matt Kean for all their assistance with material for this film.

This video is for all the Australian progressives who are tired of Tony Abbott and his attitude of being everyone's moral superior. Over the years he has proven himself to be a zealot and a disrespectful human being with no regard for human rights, multiculturalism, equality and our unique Australian environment. So on behalf of all of Australia's progressives, we say: FUCK YOU TONY ABBOTT.
