The Carr that skittled Kevin : Comments

By Richard Laidlaw, published 6/3/2012

Gillard has finally (albeit messily as usual) stamped her authority as leader on something of moment.

...Never mind, the looming war with Iran should distract the attention from Political ineptitude's well off into the distant future!

...Australians will continue to receive what they DON"T deserve from the disconnected political elitists; and one rare but sure issue they will all agree to, is another WAR!

Australians deserve everything from the miners. The resources belong to all of us not just a few people.
You can not be politically involved with AU's richest people what sort of consensus is that.
The coalition are losing their way big time.
I don't think it will go down to well with the party.

As I was reading the Article, I was wondering exactly what was his point.

He didn't like the Libs, slagged of the Nationals, hasn't been impressed with Julia to date, Carr just "appears" and he detests Rudd.

But... wait for it.. he hates Abbott.

If he had put the correct title on the Article, I could have skipped it.

Thanks, Aspley. I'd recommend you read the piece again. Six points: I do like the Libs (I vote for them). I think the Nationals have a great place in Australian politics. Gillard is impressive in many ways. Carr DID just appear. I don't hate Rudd (I've known him for years and whatever his caucus colleagues might say, he's a nice guy). And I don't hate Tony Abbott either.

But it's abundantly clear that Carr's presence is a game-changer, because all the interconnections in federal Labor will now have to be reset, because (I contend) Carr's appointment as FM neuters Rudd forever, and because if there is no further destabilising and an election is not held until the end of next year, Labor has an opportunity to make a real match of it.
