Lexi,

The vast majority of country electorates go to the liberals or nationals. Virtually none vote in labor or the wack job greens.

Pjack,

Labor has yet to introduce a policy that works or meets budget, or even introduce a budget that is not a work of fiction. The existing budget, upon which Labor's fantasies are based has many assumptions that even treasury describe as "optimistic".

Swan and Gillard blatantly lied when they claimed there would be a budget surplus in 2013. They didn't even try.

Belly,

A few polls which show that Labor is headed for a lesser defeat and suddenly you are masters of the universe?

What did KRudd get from Indonesia? Diddly Squat. Promises of further meetings? Regional action plans? That sort of bureaucratic idiocy is what KRudd is great at, and is why Australia is in the self induced trouble we see now.

Turning back the boats will help break the Human trafficking model that Labor built up. Tax payer funded meetings won't.

SM,

Explain to us how this "turning back to boats" is actually going to be implemented, especially without Indonesian cooperation?

(And that is something that requires serious dialogue between our two nations)

I mean merely shouting it from the media rooftops (or spinning it in a "pamphlet") is one thing.

Having a concrete blueprint, replete with detail is another.

Poirot, "Having a concrete blueprint, replete with detail is another"

That Kevin Rudd cannot produce either.

So far all that Kevin13 has been able to do is create more jet trails with the luxury VIP Boeing 737-700, which fortunately must not produce the 'poisonous CO2' now that Julia's carbon (dioxide) tax is fleecing Australians to support the UN.

Meanwhile, the Indonesians have managed to relieve Kevin13 of a cool $60 million and counting, with another talk fest being the only outcome. Just another conference and another excuse for Kevin13 to wear a gay Batik shirt and promote Kevin13 for a UN job one day.

onthebeach,

How long has Kevin Rudd been back at the helm?

Oh, would that be a week and a half?

In that time, he's set up dialogue with the leader of the other country to which this issue pertains in our region.

Geez, what a slacker.....

Poirot,

Labor has been in two terms.

Kevin13 merely has to restore wht he destroyed. Kevin07's nano-second decision to remove what Howard had in place has cost $$billions of taxpayers' money, delivered an ideal business model to criminal gangs to set up in people smuggleing and has drowned children put on boats by economic migrants seeking family reunification and to live forever on "Wonderful Centrelink" (that slip by one such referring to "Wonderful Centrelink" on Jenny Brockie's Insight program on SBS).

Shadow Minister I think it is time to take you on my lap and teach you about me.
I took the sword to my party for a few reasons.
Some one had to do it, it needed doing.
I saw our future as bleak, Australia's I mean.
Rudd has seen to the above, we no longer confront a dreadful event in our country,s history/future *and Abbott Government*
I understand bloke, it hurts, even falling leaves in Autumn could be, with some success, blamed on Labor while Gillard lead.
You do know,come on my mate you know?
Abbott is no better a leader than her.
Just a tip,start finding reasons for a switch to Turnbull, you will need to rebut your past words.
