Next time Rudd could forgo the notes and rely almost exclusively on a teleprompter or a tablet.
He could even have a few really good typists in the audience, texting to his tablet from already prepared notes. Something for every occassion or to counter any well made points.
Not all that long ago, a huge fraud was perpetrated on a very generous US quiz show, by a contestant equipped with a virtually invisible high tech mike, earpiece and micro transmitter, all of which could be mounted into a pair of reading glasses?
Not all that difficult for someone with the PM's resources.
Albeit, he might begin to sound like Tony Abbott, with lots of ums and ahs, as he listens to and absorbs the internal prompts?
That said, The re-installation of Kevin Rudd, is a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Perhaps if Mr Rudd remembers to get enough rest, his brain might not fog; and he might not need to consult notes, but simply learn and remember his prepared material.
Trained speakers have little problem with committing an hours worth of dialogue to memory after just two or three readings.
And it becomes even easier if it's delivered over and over as the same message, or broken record rhetoric.
Kevin could make up a little more ground before polling day, but probably not enough to win the day or the treasury seats? [The former green alliance and the endless undermining of the former leader by the leakers, has see to that!] (A house divided against itself cannot stand.) And many former Labour supporters have probably come to a view that Labour needs to spend enough time in the political wilderness to fix those things that are wrong with it or have so tarnished its brand!
However, Kevin Rudd could yet possibly win enough support to form a very effective opposition and well and truly hold the govt to account?
Rhrosty.

Tristan, mate you are mouthing the negative labor campaign spin. Don' t you realise that the labor polls are going south for that reason. Everybody has twigged to the labor spin managing of the media and their negative anti Tony campaign. Bruce Hawker doesn't know anything else. Bringing back Beattie was another of his ideas. That has backfired so badly that now in Queensland even Kevins seat of Griffith is now borderline.
Hawker is yesterdays man with yesterdays ideas and beliefs.
It is becoming more and more apparent Tony is todays man.
Rudd needs to get rid of Hawker. His ideas are pulling Kevvy down.

Cheers brother

Hi Tristan,

You could have saved yourself a whole lot of time and effort on your Karl Popper special if you had gone to Sportsbet first.

Coalition $1.14 ALP $5.50

“Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve”.
Karl Popper -Objective Knowledge: An Evolutionary Approach (1972)

Thank you Tristan. I'm sure this couple of pages of spin & garbage will have helped yet a few more see through labor lies, & sent them to the polls ready to vote for a man, not a soufflé, concocted in someone's back office.

Tristan, not a good effort.

Try this tack, how would another three years of Labor be good for Australia?

Or what should Labor do to boost Aust's fortunes, yet remain a centre-left party. Latter strategy is very hard, but idealistic and biased pieces don't really cut it any more

We have no accountability from Abbott on costing and budgeting that Treasury can study, nor adequate time left for the public scrutiny.
Luciferase,
Has Rudd divulged how much is in the coffers for Abbott to use so he can work on policy costing ?
