He is not the messiah. He is very naughty boy !
Rudd is a souffle.. He may rise once more but lacks substance.
I support a national curriculum and think it has its advantages. I hope labor has learnt from its other failed rollouts and manages to get this right. While I think the school building scheme was a bit over the top with some major waste of tax payers $ going on. In general I support anything to do with fixing our education system. But this seems like another distraction from all the other incompetence.
The problem and my concern is this govt does not seem to be able to deliver, or be able to concentrate on one area without dumping it, and then running to the next project. They basically destroyed the insulation industry in a matter of 6 months. A lot of these guys that have been around for years would probably find that there is little work left after we have jammed cheap imported insulation in thousands of roofs, and then destroyed their reputation. The idea was fine but the implementation of it sucked.
But instead of solutions labor just seems to blow off any failed scheme and move onto the next thing. How many millions (if not billions) of taxpayers dollars will they waste on some kind of scheme by scheme popularity contest in the polls. Maybe they should slow down a bit and try to follow through with better thought out plans.
Assuming they stay under the $43b budget; which is already looking impossible as the Tasmanian trials have already been pushed back by 6 months.* Spending $43 Billion on a new communications network without a clear business plan
Great summary. Now they are also announcing change to how the hospitals are funded. I'm not sure how that will actually fix the ailing health system.I support a national curriculum and think it has its advantages.

Perhaps a case of 'too much too soon' regarding policies. Or maybe they were in the wilderness for so long they needed a debt party with taxpayer’s dollars to boost self-esteemNow they are also announcing change to how the hospitals are funded.

They just seem to be floundering around in a panic.
The Coalition is not ready to govern and the current lot are, well, not too good at it.
Oh the pain! The pain!
I'd take a government that doesn't get anything done over one that tries to get everything done but poorly.

There is a chance labor may have learnt some lessons (here's hoping). And they may concentrate efforts a bit more. Honestly I would be happy if they just resigned themselves to slow but steady progress on one-two issues, Instead of blowing costs through the roof in a short space of time on what amounts to be disasters.
Still has to be the poorest team on all things economy the Libs have ever had, Barnaby should be on the front bench but not finance........it has a real chance of haunting Abbott.
And a chunk of it went into poker machines...so what
The goal was the immediate stimulation of the economy and the result was the immediate stimulation of the economy,no one said it was gona be pretty.
is it just me or has Krudd aged a hell of a lot over the past 12 months?
Interesting that you say that about BJ. If you actually read his C.V. his credentials are better than Swan and Tanner. His qualifications are more relevant to the position and his experience is wider. Maybe you just don't like what he says. BTW, he might be closer to the mark than you think, with his view on whether Australia can ever pay back the massive debt that has accumulated.
*licking my chops on this one*
KEVIN Rudd's personal approval is at its worst since he became opposition leader in December 2006, and the Coalition is in its best position on primary votes since John Howard was prime minister and Kim Beazley was Labor leader.

BUT Tony the white rabbit has only got 25 basis points to make up as prefererred PM (read not going to happen) AND they are 8 points behind Labor if a vote was held today in Banana Republic.
