The last thing I want in a PM is a "leader".

I know who I am, what I want, & where I want to go, I do not need some egotistical twit deciding for me. I think most Ozies are the same.

I am prepared to bend my interests to that of the majority, but I am not interested in being dictated to by some twit who thinks he knows it all.

Twit Rudd is gone because he tried to be a dictator. He was too stupidly egotistical to even look where we, the people, want to go. Labor could see we would not take any more of this "leadership".

Let's hope our parties have seen this fact, & apply the message for all time.

What we need is a good manager for PM, the more boring the better.

Unfortunately, I don't think we have found one yet. To get one we may have to become politically incorrect, & ban all lawyers from cabinet positions, & linguists from parliment house completely, other than as interpreters.

Joanne as a CONSTITUTIONALIST I have a considerable different view because Kevin Rudd was one who during the 2007 election promoted himself as a “Federalist” but ongoing did everything as a centralist and playing the dictator by ignoring the true meaning and application of the constitution. For sure so did John Howard and is Julia Gillard doing likewise but Kevin was claiming to be a federalist. We all must abide the rule of law and the wasting of billions of dollars and unconstitutionally was obviously not an issue with Kevin as he placed himself above the constitution and as such he had to go. The proposed ETS, the proposed SUPER TAX and other issues are actually unconstitutional and if just Kevin had considered this he could have avoided his own downfall. The same with border protection he could have considered a more humane way to deal with it by sending uninvited refugees back to refugee camps and let those who spend years in refugee camps and patiently waiting their turn in to Australia. Then people smugglers would be out of a job and the real refugees are looked after and the so called “economical refugees” are send back. And, Julia Gillard despite her claims seems to be doing another Kevin Rudd and if she too ignores constitutional limitations then she too has to go.
