Vengeance Is Mine, Sayeth Kevin.

Kevin Rudd is in an ideal position for himself, he can't do any wrongs. He knows that if Julia sacks him, it will force a general election, in which both she and her failing party will be voted out of office. Therefore, we see Kevin globe trotting, promising millions of $ in aid with monies that they are still borrowing at $100,000 per week, instead of being where he should be, such as Malaysia and Indonesia, sorting out our problems there. He's having a ball. Vengeance is mine, sayeth Kevin.

Kevin Rudd to return as Leader?

As George Negus stated on his show a little birdie from ALP camp told him hell will freeze over before he gets the numbers to head the party.

Some people at least are making a quid out of Kev so in fact hes keeping employment for the company doing adds.

I am starting to warm to our PM. I think shes in a difficult position with the wrong team. ALP have never been able to manage money and never will among other things

Kerryanne,

I disagree with your statement that the ALP has never been able to manage money et cetera. The government to its credit has seen us through a global financial crisis and people who give credit to
the cash surplus of the Howard Government "$70 billion in net assets"
display a difficulty in understanding just what an asset is. One would expect a government in office during a cyclical boom to accumulate a budget surplus, as the Howard government did. but it did so by leaving us with a severe deficit in our infrastructure and in our institutions, environmental and social capital. The Howard government depleted our assets. The Labor government stopped us from having a recession.

As for Julia Gillard she developed her own brand of consensus politics which basically entailed letting others run the show. Perhaps this was because of the perception of illegitimacy regarding the way she assumed power. She didn't have the authority to assert her views or to be herself. This left her looking out of her depth on the domestic stage. She's also in a difficult position being a minority government where compromises have to be made with the Greens and the Independents who put her government in power. It's not an easy job - but there's still time to achieve positive outcomes.
We'll have to wait and see what develops - it's too early to write
anyone off just yet.

Both sides of this issue can put a case,lets face it cases exist.
Remembering my distrust of printed Medea and other forms, still considering headline about this subject.
Labor power Brokers,
It was, believe me, power brokers, some criminals in every sense of the word,who drove my NSW ALP on to the rocks.
Then towed it out to sea and blew the remains to hell.
I am not saying Rudd is the answer.
I am saying Gillard is not.
Like me hate me,but she has done her dash with many male voters.
She,in a months ago stiffening up, told us she would take on Abbott, we await Julia.
We are the better team,hamstrung by silly actions,why an advertising program before we know the full carbon tax plan.
Why in the midst of rebuilding my party, NSW based but Federally requested for all,are we hearing from power brokers?
POWER BROKERS the ones who told NSW rank and file and conference our opinions did not matter.
How BL*&DY silly, 60% say they want Kevin.
Power Brokers say its Kevin doing it , forget those 60%
Julia Gillard is not the savior of my party.
Is her survival to save face for the power brokers? no need exists gentlemen, only the dysfunctional Medea cares, I recommend and want one of those power brokers to replace her.
He currently has been locked away out of sight while power brokers try to find ways to make our leader look better than she can.
Power brokers? who owns my party, are our votes just ammunition for power brokers guns?
In a few weeks, days, hours, Julia will, armed by power brokers, lift her game.
My party however while in the hands of power brokers is unlikely to consider reform as other than the SPIN it looks like.
Can an itch in my head be true, is it the nigh mare truth?
Have power brokers given the next election away, are we intending to sink our ship along with Capt Gillard then convince the voters we did our best?
60% want Rudd,then 60% do not want Julia.

Can an itch in my head be true, is it the nigh mare truth?
Belly,
then scratch your head instead of the bottom of the barrel :-)
(I'm referring to your choice for Bill Shorten)

I see Rudd as being more about personal vendetta than giving a damn about the wellbeing of either the Labor Party or Australia.

Agree with Lexi, that claims about Labor not being able to manage money is a label and nothing more. There are plenty of example of excellent economic management: Keating and more recently in Victoria left with solid finances, which new Liberal government has yet to do anything practical with.

As for Julia, perhaps it was the wrong time for her, I really have to wonder at the players behind the scenes, given many of her decisions from refugees to repairing many of the wrongs left by the Libs such as funding of private schools, baby bonus and other middle class welfare. I can't comment on the Carbon tax because Labor has yet to make clear just how this money will be invested. We have a long way to go to catch up with the rest of the world in transitioning to clean renewable resources - the mining tax would've helped, but we can't have Gina Rinehart dropping down the rich list now, can we?
