Really who cares. Just more of the leftie labor navel gazing drivel. Keep it up. It only hurts them.
The article isn't relevant to anyone other than the labor dinosauers.

The OLO right winger contibutors won the Federal election, and they are still whinging. Somebody give them red meat !!

Philistine arguments. Jed I think you write a cogent argument and I 'like' the arguments that you put forth. Some people will not agree as is their right in an open democracy. I thank-god someone has written an article that explores the depth, complexity and intelligence that Kevin Rudd brought to the platform. One day we may ponder over why we didnt handle this better. Arrogance! Bring it on. If out of that we have better direction, better policy and better understanding. Paul Keating is arrogance personified but didnt he change our political landscape. Nice work Jed and thank-you.

Arrogance and ego are essential personality traits for politicians and Rudd had plenty of both.

However those still around, like Shorten, Abbott, Pyne and Turnbull (in particular) still have theirs constantly on display for all to see.

I can't see what the issue is here.
