I think the truly stupid ones are the libs themselves for not replacing this twit. Hopefully common sense will prevail and they will listen to the punters out there and replace him as quickly as possible. He is all talk, no action and that's the last thing we need going forward from here on in.

As for Rudd representing anything to do with this country is a complete and utter joke, considering the mess he caused in his short rein.

It is not that Rudd is a totally useless leach on society, but the fact that Turnbull wants to sponsor him. It confirms that he is a blood brother to Rudd, but also shows his total ignorance of the Australian voter.

It appears many Lib MPs can see that supporting Rudd for anything, let alone something so dangerous to all of us, would be the last nail in their coffin.

All those conservatives who could not put the Libs below Labor in the preference list this time would have the confirmation that Turnbull is poison. Labor could have the magnitude of victory that it took Abbott to gain for the Libs.

If Turnbull & Bishop were to survive in the leadership it would be solid proof that the whole party is past its use by date, & the trickle of deserters would become a total flood.

It would be unfortunate, but if they don't cut out this rot, & quickly, in a decade they could be no more remembered than the Democrats today.

Gee, the rabid right are certainly getting their nickers in a knot over this one. Hassy's got so heated his hair caught fire, and Butch was so incensed he jumped into his sausage machine. I did like the "Turnbull's evil plan" comment. If Rudd was a Conservative he would get the full support of the government, end of story. Maybe we should nominate Pauline Hanson, she would be the ideal Aussie to talk to black Africa, and Asia, that would stoke up the forum jollies.

Kevin Rudd was asked to help seafood devastation impacted people of the Pacific Islands. I asked him. His leading staff said my information was passed on to him. He apparently did nothing in response. The situation in the Pacific is still the same or worse. Undernourished sick poverty stricken people irritated by hunger are not likely to unite with their neighbours. Affordable food supply devastated nations are not likely to unite in peace either.
Kevin Rudd should not head the UN.

Rehctub, after all this controversy the other countries would not
appoint Rudd even if Turnbull did put his name forward.

Actually with all that waffle from the UN about giving a global warming
tax funds to developing countries it might be an act of sabotage to
nominate Rudd for the job, the whole idea might be lost in the RUDDLE.

If the ALP don't even welcome Rudd to their convention, why then is he suitable to represent Aus as UN Gen Sec?
