Time to call an election : Comments

By Graham Young, published 8/7/2013

Of course Kevin Rudd doesn't want a 'negative campaign', because then he'd have to justify himself. Instead he's trying to rerun the 2007 campaign.

You're right Bennery. I shouldn't have given him a pass on Gonski. Gonski is part of the Rudd coterie, and as you point out chairs Ingeus, Therese Rein's company, which has made a fortune from the privatisation of government job placement work. The Australian has an interesting write-up today on how they operate in the UK.

Dear Kevin,

I agree with Rhosty, Lexi and James O’Neil. On that basis not only are you doomed by those who have absolutely no idea what is going on in the world, but we have an OLO record of all their prognostications. We will of course use these to beat them over the head when and if you ever call an election.

The good news is that the “bookies” have you at 5/1. I am always impressed by the fact that I’ve never seen a poor bookie and rarely see a wealthy punter.

Bye Bye Kevin.

I can't understand how so many can't see that Kevin Rudd is nothing but an Academic without wisdom. Yes, he's educated but he hasn't been able to add knowledge & wisdom to his education. He appears to me rather shallow & cheap. Can't people see how he is incapable of making a genuine & convincing point when he talks. Yes he does use pseudo intellectual rhetoric but none of it is of any genuine substance. It's like listening to a fake reading the news.
Abbott is way more genuine & competent as are his off-siders. Abbott & Co might be likened to sweet & sour gherkins butt Rudd & Co are just Dill cucumbers.

Dear individual,

It's your choice of course:

One wears glasses and a smile
The other a sneer on his big-eared dial
One can talk and enunciate
The other's a bruiser who won't debate
We need a leader who'll see us through
The question is folks -
Who, Who, WHOOO?

A public debate between the two would help.

Rudd was warned repeatedly in writing about the very real dangers of working in ceilings, any trady knows that. Rudd ignored them, and then when people died he left Garret to carry the can. The sight of Rudd 'apologizing for 'accidental' deaths that were predicted to him, makes me want to vomit.
