I see that Rudd's inner circle is almost exclusively his supporters.

So much for healing the party.

Kevin could win an Oscar for his folksie 'I'm one of you' banter. The 'Real' Kevin is something different,

<Rudd's luxury property portfolio miles from Struggle Street

By Sonja Koremans

KEVIN Rudd's multi-million-dollar property portfolio represents a huge wealth divide between the PM and Labor's working family voters in mortgage belts.

Mr Rudd owns luxury homes in Canberra, Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast. In total, they're estimated to be worth more than $10 million. It includes a $1.4 million block in Brisbane's well-heeled Norman Park that he bought two years ago with a plan to build a million-dollar-plus home for visitors.

The same year, he and wife Therese paid over $3 million for a five-bedroom home in Castaways Beach, near Noosa.

Named Ocean Blue, the property is available for holiday rental at $1054 a night during peak periods, with a minimum seven-night stay at $7378.

The oceanfront home has three bathrooms and two separate living areas "one for the children to escape to and the other for parents to relax", according to its website description.

The Rudds also own a stately Queenslander overlooking the Brisbane River worth about $1.5 million.

His Norman Park home will once again be where Mr Rudd runs the country from after deciding to base himself in the Sunshine State.

Aside from his own homes, the PM also has access to government-funded official residences including the Lodge in Canberra and Kirribilli House in Sydney.

Recently the Rudd's listed their "sophisticated and luxurious" Canberra residence, for $2.25 million.

Good on him. It is a pity though that he feels obliged to dumb down his act for the voters though. That is what comes of US style television electioneering.

US-style electioneering....

You didn't happen to catch Abbot's try-hard US-style campaign launch, did you?

Arf, arf, arf.....

You can't try any harder than a rotating selection of talking heads that get chopped off when the voters stop listening to the Labor lies.

Yeah you are absolutely right You can't try much harder than a rotating selection of talking heads.

PEST, I strongly agree and disagree with you.

I very much care about what Rudd stands for. He’d have to be very different to Rudd mark one, in order to garner my support!

And I very much care about what Milne is for. She’d have to do what any sensible environmentally-minded person should do and embrace real sustainability, including a strong push for net zero immigration, and she’d have to advocate a STOP to the boats and a regaining of our border security, with all our humanitarian efforts towards refugees going through our formal immigration program and international aid programs, before she and her party would garner my support.

Turnbull is a whole lot smarter than Abbott, but just as manically pro-expansionist and antisustainabilityist!

If you like the Greens, I don’t how on earth you could like Turnbull!!

Um, but if you like real green philosophy, I don’t know how on earth you could like Milne either!!

Yes both Rudd and Abbott should be put down the gurgler, as should all climate denialists, anti-science and antisustainabilityists!

So that leaves precisely NO one to vote for at the coming election!!
