Belly,

It's quite entertaining that Libs apologists are pissed off that Labor refused to just trickle out the door.

How dare Labor take a real stab at reeling back some support.

They should have had the decency to go quietly.

Apparently Julie Bishop was just now blowing a gasket on Sky News about something Rudd said in his latest interview.

Here's to blowing gaskets!

Does Labor have a leader of all the Party in Rudd when some have resigned as they will not serve under him. Many believe he failed to lead last time his elected colleagues. He may be popular with voters but not in the Party room.

PM Rudd has announced today that electing Tony Abbott would result in a war with Indonesia!

"KEVIN Rudd says Tony Abbott's asylum-seeker boat tow back policy risks sparking a war with Indonesia"

PM for a day and already he is an embarrassment. What the hell was he thinking?

Dear onthebeach,

It's quite obvious what Mr Rudd was thinking.
He made his position quite clear on Parliamentary
"Question Time," yesterday.

Mr Rudd pointed to
statements from Indonesia that it would not
co-operate with the Coalition's policy of turning back
asylum seeker boats.

As a result of this, Mr Rudd encouraged
Mr Abbott to "take briefings on what further could be
done," on asylum policy, challenging the Coalition
leader to get briefings from government departments
and security agencies so the Mr Abbott could talk
about "policies that work as opposed to slogans that
sound good."

Good advice, and it would be great if the advice was taken.

I only wish that we had more people in politics like
Tony Windsor and Rob Oakshott, the two Independents
who will be leaving politics after the next election.
Mr "Point of Order," Christopher Pyne made the asinine
statement that the reason the Independents are
leaving politics is that they
think they won't get re-elected. A truly asinine statement
given their 2010 election results, and a perfect example
of the type of nonsense to which the Independents (and
the former PM) have been subjected.

These two Independents are an example of how politicians
should work. They're resonable men who took their job
seriously. They insisted on scrutiny, research and
consultation. They tried to act in the best interests of
the nation, even when it had the potential to damage
their own causes.

What a shame that there's not more like them. And our
Parliement will be the poorer for their absence.

Rudd was clearly referring to *DIPLOMATIC* conflict. Only his opponents would twist his words to means something that was not said.

Lexi,

You don't reckon that talking about war with a neighbouring country is serious? You have got to be kidding. And he is about to set off on a diplomatic mission there!

Please come back Julia, all is forgiven! Julia, you should have run over the idiot with a large dozer, twice.
