Re: Does Rudd inspire confidence?

THE RUDD government had already called in advertising agencies to pitch for a $38 million taxpayer funded campaign to sell the mining tax before announcing the new tax, despite arguing it was a campaign of misinformation by mining companies that justified the "urgent" expenditure.
Special Minister of State Joe Ludwig today released correspondence confirming that Kevin Rudd’s kitchen cabinet consisting of the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, Wayne Swan and Lindsay Tanner approved the $38 million campaign to sell the mining tax reform package on April 20, several weeks before it was publicly announced on May 2.
The government has argued it was a matter of urgency to rush out the taxpayer funded advertising campaign because of a campaign of misinformation by the opposition and mining companies.
But the correspondence released today reveals that when Wayne Swan had already commissioned advertising companies to work on the campaign before he wrote to the Special Minister of State Joe Ludwig on May 10 asking for an exemption from guidelines that would prohibit the advertising campaign.


“On 20 April 2010, the Strategic Priorities and Budget Committee approved an allocation to Treasury of $38.5 million…for an advertising campaign to ensure community awareness and understanding of the Government’s planned tax package,’’ Mr Swan wrote.
“The campaign is being developed…the advertising is still in the development phase. Creative agencies are scheduled to present advertising concepts to the Treasury on Monday May 10,’’ he disclosed.
Mr Ludwig revealed on Friday that he had agreed to the request, four days after he gave the government the green light, prompting opposition claims that the silence on the decision was designed to stop MPs asking public officials about the campaign in Senate estimates.

Oh God, IFocus, if you're serious, have you really thought that through?
Just imagine every bit of serious legislation held up because it focuses e.g. on the economy without giving double funding to some project to protect the quasi endangered triple toed rat!

Expect there would be no difference to now where the senate blocks everything.

It won't be long now, Krudd will be history, maybe before the election, if not soon after.

You may be right but I have visions of Labor being so desperate to get legislation through that they will accept some nonsensical demands from the Greens.
But thinking about the ETS, they rejected what the Greens put up. I suspect by that time they'd woken up to the cooling in the electorate toward an ETS, in addition to the global swing away from enthusiasm for anthropogenic climate change.

One day there just might be a political party which will act for the good of Australia, rather than its own political survival.

Those Hugo Boss pants suck if you are taller than the average fella! Over 5'10" forget Hugo, go the Zegna and fill it out like Keating. Not like this pretender Rudd. Shhh! He's not attracted to women. Shhh! ;) Nice marketing campaign in a NY strip club however.

Pierre Cardin for pants IMO if you are over 5'10". I like Monza when it comes to leather jackets as well. Krudd looks like he buys his suits from K Mart. He should go for the one button Australian wool suit and support the sheep farmers of this country! Maybe mix it up with some Giorgio Forelli to appeal to the younger set. :2twocents

Labor and the Greens rarely do deals not likely to change plenty of hate to go around from old wars but we could see a Senate hung like Tassie House of reps the way the polls are running

Re: Does Rudd inspire confidence?

Nope.



And neither does Paul Howes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Howes

He should rejoin Resistance with his lentil burger eating Trotskyite friends and get a High School diploma. And also resign his Directorship from AustralianSuper for betraying Australia's workers and those educated enough to realize what this super tax will really do to jobs and investment in this country.

Re: Does Rudd inspire confidence?

Something that does annoy me about Rudd.

He trys to come across as this mild-mannered reasonable guy, when it now emerges he is a foul-mouthed, bad tempered bully boy and possibly even chronic liar.

He reminds me quite a lot of some bosses I had in the public service.

I quite admire Keating, he did not bother with this goody-too shoes act.
 
Re: Does Rudd inspire confidence?

Well I just hate Rudd just listening to the guy makes me want to puke, the incompetence displayed over the mining tax grab really got me boiling, after all the other problems created you would think they be alittle careful nope, all I can say is I have zero percent confidence in Krudd and labour.
 
Re: Does Rudd inspire confidence?

KR's remarkable ability to bring havoc to whatever he touches...
bears an uncanny resembles to this chap ....Anthony Fremont ...

It 's a Good Life - The Twilight Zone

It's a bit eerie ....

Six-year-old Anthony Fremont looks like any other little boy, but looks can be deceiving: He is a monster, a mutant with godlike mental powers. Early on, he isolated the small town of Peaksville, Ohio. In fact, the handful of inhabitants do not even know if he destroyed the rest of the world or if it still exists. Anthony has also eliminated electricity, automobiles, and television signals. He controls the weather and what supplies can be found in the grocery store. Anthony creates and destroys as he pleases, and controls when the residents can watch the TV and what they can watch on it.

The adults tiptoe nervously around him, constantly telling him how everything he does is "good", since displeasing him can get them wished away "to the cornfield", where presumably their corpses are buried. At one point, a dog is heard barking angrily. Anthony thinks the dog is "bad" and "doesn't like him," and wishes it into the cornfield. His father is horrified, but he dares not show it.

......

Because he is angry at what has happened, Anthony causes snow to begin falling outside. His father observes that the snow will kill off at least half the crops. But as the adults look on, worried smiles on their faces, his father smiles and tells Anthony in a horror-tinged voice, "...but it's a real good thing you did. A real good thing. And tomorrow....tomorrow's gonna be a... real good day!"

And what's really creepy.... the Labor Party's like the scared parents.


Just in case, remember to duck, if KR points a finger in your direction!! And always have happy thoughts! :D
