Tapp ,this is not very smart thinking.If we cut all the benefits and pay peanuts to pollies, we will get Bonobos.

All we have to do is start a movement that will eventually remove the state Govts from power.Secondly change the whole culture of the Public Service to accountability,reward good management and frugality.

It is not a complex equation,all it takes is courage and planning.

arjay remove the state governments? can that be because Labor holds the respect of voters?
Surely the fact of those 21 losses is proof?
And are you not aware yesterdays removal of the elitist twit in NSW started your side back to government? in say 12 years?
Now you are on to something with you anti public servants thing, bet you never thought I would say that.
But rather than sell of or contract out our government owned things we should turn it upside down.
Contract out every management position above Foreman.
Public service is no way to describe what the nongs do.
Before my side gets into me I worked for 22 years watching third grade performers blame lack of results on first grade workers who,s hands and feet had been tied by useless public servants.
Tapp about 88% at worst Australians vote for the 2 sides you hate!

No Arjay

What you get is people who are there to represent you not people there for their own pocket.

What you get is people who have the sense to act in the interests of the people and australia and not just some 2 bit pollie party agenda.

We already have monkeys in government as they do as they are told so its time to save waste and get real people doing the job.

There is enough consultants looking after these monkeys now so a pay cut and real people is not going to make a difference except p#ss of those who are worried about a perks cut.

This money can be better spent on services to those that really need it.

The marketing of Kevin Rudd - Evolution into Labor.

Kevin Rudd has demonstrated recently that a day in politics is a long time but a week is definately a significantly long time.

The benefit derived from time is experience, and to a leader like Kevin Rudd adds greatly to his credentials for office.

As we know leadership contains an amalgam of qualities, to practice some over the other leads to a distortion of the trueness of a great leader leading ultimately to a leader with no followers.

Kevin Rudd understands this; he often says that it is always important to get the balance right.

I understand Kevin Rudd is practicing the importance of the right balance; it becomes increasingly clear by the positive statements by both Business and Union leaders concerning their negotiations with Kevin and his team.

Kevin Rudd and Labor, with partners in the Business and Union community will prove to be a formidable opponent to Mr. Howard and the Liberal Party come the November elections.

You gotta love evolution.

The marketing of Kevin Rudd - Evolution into Labor.

Politics is a strange game, its all about the numbers.

Tonight I confidently suggest, that Kevin Rudd is heading in the right direction.

I understand that the wayward pro nuc policy will not be passed at conference.

The unions have been treated equally in this regard.

It is still unclear weather the IR direction is properley balanced, but there is hope.

Kevin Rudd eveloutin to Labor, welcome aboard.

The Marketing of Kevin Rudd – Evolution to a Labor Leader. - Polling.

Today saw another poll, in the battle of Australia's votes for our hearts and minds, published.

I have said previously that polling in general is a tool to support a certain message, and that for all purpose the voter should only look towards individual private party polling, to get a real idea as to the state of play.

Of course the rider is that Private Party Polling must have integrity to the party's need for quality information.

It is during private party polling that the party can test out its products acceptability to the consumer.
The result is tweaking of policy and message.

This of course is totally legitimate and healthy in the evolution process of policy formation and bargaining.

For example I welcome the “Coming back home to Labor "
Sentiment being made in Kevin Rudd's policy platform, to get the balance right.

So up, down this week next week, polls are only relevant when the paper they are written on are used as wrapping paper of a good old feed of fish and chips.
