Add concentration camps for refugees to that list.
 
Very entertaining read folks. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Please keep up the banter. Now for my little rant...

I am sick of politicians saying sorry and using the excuse that they are simply normal people that make mistakes. Peter Beattie did it for years and people loved it. Only took 10 odd years for people to realise that he was actually hopeless and didn't do much at all. Kev is heading down the same track. I don't want a normal person to be PM. I want an extraordinary person to be our PM.

What is it that he will be remembered for? At the moment he is lauded for symbolic gestures with very little substance - some examples

i. Saying sorry to the stolen generation - I feel deeply sorry to the indigenous population that everyone placed so much importance on this simple word. Have I seen any change in the state of aboriginal well being since - not a single bit. Plenty of promises and plenty of false hope. If this was an easy thing to deal with it would have been dealt with a long time ago. It made city folk feel very good about themselves but those at the coal face knew nothing would change as a result.

ii. Ratifying Kyoto - exactly what has happened since. An ETS which will ruin Australia and not really do much to reduce CO2 emissions.

iii. 20-20 Summit - did we ever hear anything back regarding any proposals from this summit. Just appeared to be a publicity stunt where Kevin Rudd could hang out with famous people and get his ministers to push the policies they wanted discussed.

Will his roll back of work choices be his defining moment. I very much doubt it. Maybe he will surprise me one day but I very much doubt it.

Kevin Rudd was elected by making people feel better about themselves when they were all a little bit guilty about things being so good.

One day we will have an extraordinary PM. Cannot see anyone on either side of politics that could be that person at the moment but towing either party line at the moment doesn't really lend to be extraordinary.

PS. I don't like John Howard either but he was a man of substance and conviction. Albeit often misguided. Rudd is a man of spin and feelgood politics...
 
It was a culmination of Rudd''s frustration with not being able to show any gimmick due to economic recession. He thought ousting Kim B will be a piece of cake but his luck ran out. Probably he was expected to spend some time with the young air hostess in the **** PIT and she might have been not too obligingly. It was not stimulus enough Who knows the real reason of outburst.

But the heavily paid attache and PA to Rudd should also be sacked. Their job is to know when PM sneezes or what should be the colour of his toilet tissue. How they failed to advise the flight company about special meal by Mr Rudd ?
Sheer incompetency and how do we think these people will be able to manage the economy. We did the same mistake by electing him as Americans did by electing George Bush second time. US is paying and so we are.

I feel sorry for Aboriginals because stupid white people have spent multi millions on them with no result.
Couldnt someone identify their needs with an open cheque book ??????????

The rest I agree with.

I dont think anyone appreciated John Howard and Costello till now, Howard was a real leader, Rudd is nothing, a dangerous nothing too because he's worked out that as long as he keeps spending us into oblivion his popularity will remain high.
 
Geez, if i was Prime Minister (and travelling on a Airforce VIP jet that is pretty much intended to be there to cater for flying me and my cronies arround) and i wanted a vegimite sandwich and an apple, i wouldn't be to pleased if someone told me they only had English water biscuits, french brie, goose liver pate' and french champagne.
If the FA really did burst into tears, you would have to wonder what she was doing in the airforce anyway. Why didn't she stand up to him and tell him to make his own effing sandwich?
 
Dink: great post. I agree with everything you have said - Rudd consistently demonstrates that he is a bureaucrat overlaid with diplomat - smooth sounding talk backed with no substance. It doesn't say much for the electorate that they are sucked in by this. I don't believe a single thing Rudd does is designed to be for the benefit of Australia and Australians.
He is 100% about Kevin Rudd, especially his prancing about on the world stage. I fear I'm developing a loathing of him which is in danger of becoming obsessive!!
 

I can't imagine it was just a little upset that caused the tears. She was trained by the RAAF and as such, was probably pretty tough emotionally. For it to be reported, it must have been an extraordinary tirade. In these times of increasing unemployment, people don't risk their jobs easily by spilling the beans over a some little upset.

Anyway, it's not just the FA - http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25287096-5000540,00.html

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd's short fuse and unreasonable demands have triggered an exodus of personal staff and a backlash from public servants.
