Lexi,

Rudd was not being 'grilled' by journalists at all. He just doesn't seem to be able to stop himself. That ego is mountainous and he lacks judgement.

I have never agreed with his knifing by Julia Gillard. It was underhand and a plot. However I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that Rudd could well be inflicted with the personality problems that so many of his colleagues accuse him of having. God knows what he has said to leaders and diplomats of other countries in his time. He would be putty in the hands of anyone who flattered that ego and let him wind up.

Now for cartoonists to draw Rudd with a head like a hot-air balloon, floating out there in space.

It's interesting that the Abbott lovers here have been incapable of admitting that Rudd was referring to "DIPLOMATIC* conflict. They wish to continue their mendacity about what Rudd actually said.

In Rudd's address, he was almost immediately quizzed by a journalist, who asked him precisely what he meant by "conflict". Rudd then IMMEDIATELY stated he was talking about *DIPLOMATIC* conflict.

Now the ignorant and uninformed Coalition spin doctors are saying that Rudd said Australia will go to war over boat people. It's absolute hysterics, personal politics, misinforming the Australian public via LIES, and a continuation of nasty, aggressive, bitter Coalition political spin doctoring.

The 2 sides are now neck and neck in the latest poll. The Australian public will not fall for the continuation of no costed Coalition policies and aggressive spin doctoring from the Coalition.

What Does Mr Abbott Stand For?
poirot,
A hell of a lot more than Rudd could ever dream of standing for.

Suggest everyone see http://www.globalresearch.ca/ Both the major parties sold us out a long time ago to this concept of Global Governance with no voter input from us.ie A totalitariarn world Govt that will do what it pleases.

Too many people on the planet? Solutions? Wars, famine, disease and economic collapse.

They have the power since they create from nothing,all the money for our Govts to function. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Ah I see. It's a world wide totalitarian conspiracy. Gee, thanks for that.
