You don't see the irony there with what the TV was apparently telling people a few weeks ago?
The whole worlds a stage and so now is politics, the public at large only do what the TV tells them to, people like Rudd can win, wrong as it may be.

Effects younger people mostly, older ones can still hopefully think for themselves.
Gillard's incompetence was obvious to all, Rudds is more hidden........for now.
I'd have to agree with Some Dude there, Burnsie, KRudd is a master manipulator.
He looks at the camera, purses his lip and says something that appeals to youth. It may have nothing to do with ALP policies. But he gets away with it.
He reminds me of a dangerous nun who terrorised me as a 4 year old.

I wasn't disagreeing.
Keating used to say, he would switch to Vaudeville.
Give Rudd a little time and he'll trip but TA cant match him in the Vaudeville stakes.
The only input I can give in to this is that TA has more mongrel than KR.
He will fight KR who his own party hate, and have described as a psychopath.
The Australian shoppingtrolley mob have been drip fed on entitlement, and Rudd appeals to them.
I personally feel that more migrants are necessary to counter the lazy slob culture that prevails.
I do believe in Strong borders.
So, more talented migrants, let Princess Kevin KR appeal to the KMart/BigW Centrelink mob, and let the rest of us work for a better Australia.

Agree with all of that and I sincerely hope the public choose a good man over a prissy BS artist.
It's a good point SD.Regardless of political persuasion, any thoughts on what would be a good way to get the public at large to engage in a more substantive discussion than the political equivalent of Survivor or "Australia's Got Talent" where votes are sms'd in?
So I believe in more education, more inter generational engagement and less chasing of entitlement by old farts.
It does set a precedent doesn't it for the younger ones to follow. As we get older, we all like the moral superiority that comes with being able to point at the younger generations about some aspect that we either don't understand or dislike but it is the older ones generations that need to demonstrate and show by example.
So, I would be in favour of youth over these evil caravaning camry driving sloths, living for death.
In any event, it might be worth having a primer for those following the debate, or as a reference for later when the election campaign begins.
Let's start with the obvious.
A distinction must be made between net and gross debt. There is a nasty habit of some people starting a sentence referring to net debt and then finishing with a reference to gross debt. Words to the effect that "the Howard government left zero debt and now it is $300 billion" are an expression of such an error. Mr Abbott mixed up gross and net debt recently, but his Deputy Julie Bishop was even more extreme, saying that, "I think Australian people understand that when government debt goes from zero to heading towards $400 billion then that's an emergency." For Ms Bishop, who was shadow treasurer in 2008 and 2009, this is an embarrassing error.
LOL...
Perhaps more discussion like this. Again, agree or not, but provide details.
Let's start dissecting some of the details beneath the slogans.
Under the ALP there is an abrogation of responsibility from the Family to the State.
Agree Sd,
In my experience most young people want to do their best, find the best mate, have kids and live the dream.
I am very much against grey nomads who abrogate their responsibilities as carers, wise persons and nurturers of their grandchildren.

Strange take on older people gg.
I would think a lot grey nomads, have brought up 4 kids and have probably done without most of their lives. They probably have children who are more successful than themselves, yet you begrudge them living a dream.
Probably off topic.
He was pulling my leg
Oh, my appologies for jumping in.
I think you are underestimating the young folk in this country. You would be surprised how many of them are right onto him and cant stand him.
One of the young ladies on radio commentating was really saying her piece yesterday, how pathetic she thought he was. She said, please dont let him get in, I couldnt stand it.
She had the young ones ringing in all giving their opinions about how he is a narcissitic, power hungry man.
Everything revolves around him, and they wouldnt be surprised if he tries to put the election on his birthday, thats the type of man he is, all puff with no substance.
In retrospect you're right, they didn't like him before so it wont take long for them to reach that conclusion again.
The only question is, do they like Tony any better ?
I hope they can see through the awkwardness and let him have a go, certainly any dysfunctional rabble under Rudd wont get us anywhere.
