I think Rudd's conversation will make it hard for Annabel to eat anything.

She might even ask him the question, "DO YOU EVER SHUT UP", because she most likely won't be able to get a wrod in.

It will be Abbott, Abbott, Abbott, cut,cut,cut,cut, nega,nega negativity.

I enjoyed Annabel's chat with Tony Abbott. It seemed for the most part to be quite thoughtful and interested on both of their parts. I liked that Tony Abbott was as self-disclosing about quite personal stuff and all up, felt reassured about Mr Abbott as PM.

+1, although I'm getting a little tired of the constant presence of his daughters. I was relieved they weren't present for the entire show. I was also somewhat relieved to hear him acknowledge that a politician in his position must leave his faith-based decisions to his personal life - or words to that effect. Although he lacks the easy conversational style of Rudd, I find him more believable on the whole. Rudd is certainly more entertaining, but my perception is that at least half of what he says is insincere. Looking forward to tonight's episode.

I've also enjoyed Annabel on the Gruen Nation show - she appears to have less personal bias than most of the other panellists.

I noticed at one point one of his daughters laughed and she sounded a bit like her dad.:)

It has been noticeable that daughters have been featured on both sides. Presumably to reassure us that both Abbott and Rudd are loving family men, wholly supported by their photogenic daughters.

Jessica Rudd was featured heavily in Annabel's afternoon tea with Kevin shown this evening.
I much preferred the format of her previous series where there was just Annabel and the politician.

I expect I can't entirely remove my bias of detesting Kevin Rudd, but I found him in this evening's Kitchen Cabinet to be only marginally less pompous than he was in the woefully evasive interview on "7.30" which preceded it. Leigh Sales did her best to get to him to give some real answers, but she was not a match for Mr Rudd's astonishing capacity to sound plausible while entirely avoiding the question.

He has for ever put me off the expression "And furthermore....".
 
I think that they both used their daughters to take the pressure of themselves at the start-as a diversion.Maybe they were both worried about some forensic questioning from Annabel and hence the shields.
And a loving dog is always a good human touch.

I was hoping to see a glimmer of "the Real Kevin", but stopped watching before the end - I've reached the point where I just can't take any more of his voice going on, and on, and on....., but not really saying anything that seemed completely sincere.

As to the daughters - I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Jessica Rudd enter the political stage at some point in the future.
 
The ABC still have not learnt their lesson to stay neutral. Today on ABC News 24 they are hammering the following.
Peta Credlins drink driving charge , updating the story and replaying it every ten minutes. Making sure they mention Tony Abbott in every sentence.
Steve Bracks stripping of the consul-general role in New York , making sure they make the Coalition look as bad as they can.
Alison Anderson's dumping in NT , boy the ABC conspiracy theorist are out today.

They really took the cake this morning when they crossed to an Indonesian reporter for his opinion on the turning back the boats policy , the reporter said " It is physically impossible for it to be done". Who cares what the Indonesian Media think , they are our borders.

Lets hope Abbott runs a big broom through this lot ASAP.:xyxthumbs

I am sure there will be some ethnic cleansing very soon, either that or some will change the spots on their coats to suit the climate of the time.

Yes I saw a segment on ABC 24 this morning. They had Latika Bourke on saying that Gillard was right , that "cabinet would be dominated by men in blue ties". They let her go on for 10 minutes with her rant about a womanless Abbott Government. Bourke is a serial Left wing pest and should not have a job paid for by the taxpayers of Australia if she can't remain neutral ,and keep her extreme views out of the story.

I put a comment on their web site expressing my views, it was published then disappeared........:bad:
 
Give me genuine quality and experience over gender equality every time. If the best qualified people happen to be male, then imo Tony Abbott is doing the right thing in promoting them first.

The feminazi will settle down in a day or two.

Mr Abbott is showing every sign of making his own decisions and holding fast to them. Bravo!

Precisely.

ABC are really clutching at straws if they think this is a story. The fact that Abbott was voted in surely shows that the electorate DON'T think he's a misogynist so running with this line is just plain dopey :rolleyes:
 
The ABC loves Clive!
