Re: Does Rudd inspire confidence?
You are right. Power resides with the best spinmeister.

True - the master of this was John Howard for 11 long years!!
Beej
Rudd imo is a nice bloke
Yes his public persona is all the above. Maybe he is hell bent on constructing a personally optmised state of affairs for our nation with variable parameters that suit his mood of the time. I don't envy his role play. Having to justify all political actions would send anyone around the bend so I would fall short of diagnosing schizophrenia for this reason.
I'm amazed someone can think that, and I'm sure many do. Rudd strikes me as an extremely arrogant, manipulative, uptight s.o.b. One of the worst possible examples of a personality one could find. I'm very sure I'm not alone in my impression.
Please do not infringe the copyright of others on ASF.
I see a lot of people reproducing whole articles and/or not posting a link to or identifying the original source of quoted material.
The ASF code of conduct states:
If you are quoting another source you must do two things.
1. Not quote the entire article as this infringes copyright. Please only quote a small portion of it (maximum 10%) as this constitues 'fair use' or 'fair dealing'. See here for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing
2. Always include a link to the original article. If the article is not on the internet you must specifically refer to the publication (title and issue/date) from which it came.
Posts may be removed or quoted material shortened by myself or one of the site moderators if this rule is ignored.
Thank you all for your co-operation.
We will be getting tougher on flagrant copyright violations from this moment on. If you are reproducing copyright information on ASF from another source you must do so within the realms of the law.
You must only reproduce a small portion of the article (10% or one or two paragraphs maximum) and you must link to the original source.
We will now be actively removing posts that contain:
- Copyrighted articles that are reproduced in full or beyond what is considered to be 'fair dealing'.
- Excerpts of articles that contain no link to the original source.
Please report posts that are violating copyright law by using the 'Report a Post' function.
This is still an issue that some people do not seem to be taking seriously.
There are a few points that I want to make absolutely clear.
- If you quote another source you must identify that source. If it's from the internet then a link will suffice. If it is an offline source then it must be identified by publication, name of article, author and page number. Posts with quotes from other sources that do not identify their source will be removed.
- Please ensure that you separate the quoted part of your post from the rest of it. The best way of doing this is by using the 'quote' tags to identify the quoted part of your post: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/help/bb-codes#quote
- Do not reproduce entire articles unless you have the permission of the copyright holder. If you do not then please only reproduce a small portion of the article and then supply a link to the entire article so those interested can click through and read it all.
Your co-operation in this matter is appreciated.
I completely agree.

As for the stimulus package, ETS etc, it all reeks of agenda. Many people don't seem to see that though.
The latest poll in today's paper, however, whilst not directly related to Mr Rudd, asks should Australia delay the introduction of an ETS until after a global arrangement is reached at Copenhagen. Result was 60% thought it should be delayed, including 50% of Labor supporters. This is hardly a ringing endorsement of confidence in Mr Rudd.Good evening.
from a post above,
"According to the latest "Newspoll", 59% of the electorate has faith in Mr Rudd"
I have been asked once in my 17 years in this country. It was prior to a State election about ten years ago.PS, have you been asked by any Poll your views...
PPS, I will wager there are people have here and I think I could even guess their names, right now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good evening.

Polls, interesting,
I have never had anybody from any Poll ask my views, on anything
and today, I asked a number of friends has anybody from any Poll asked you anything ?
And the answer, each and everytime was never !
Which rather makes me think, these so called Polls are a device to have the herd think like the herd, because all the other herd creatures think that way, therefore I must think that way.
Kind regards,
UB

Unfortunately Garpal I think your spot on.
Working families will pay the bill.
I think this is Rudd's long term plan.
The Australian PMship is just a stepping stone for his ambition,
gg, you underestimate his ambition. Secretary General is just a stepping stone too. The plethora of books recently on the subject of "God is dead" hasn't gone unnoticed by him. He thinks there may an opening.
Gee your a provocative bastard Garpal
Having said this, I completely agree with you
I have some sharp words for Rudd!
Yes, lets rush in an ETS so that Ruddy can go to Copenhagen with a medal pinned to his back... that's sure to impress the others. Should work wonders for his future career prospects.
What an insult to the Australian people!
I'm open to Australia cleaning up its act... for the right reasons - not to support somebody's career aspirations.
And Rudd ends up heading the UN.
