What else could Kevin Rudd possibly do to lose the election?

[Set the Unbound]

Can't vote for labor because it's obvious they can't do anything right. Can't vote for liberals because they're a bunch of conservative dinosaurs led by Tony Abbott. Can't vote independent or else we'll all be pot smoking Nationalists. Greens - here I come!

I hear you, Daircoill.

My concern is the Greens doing a Meg Lees after the election; and then a PM Abbott getting WorkEvenMore-Choices through in exchange for beads and blankets.

The Greens preselected a sawmill owner in Tasmania. I don't have a problem with that (plantation timber), but it shows how far they will bend their principles for power...

The Devil, or the deep blue sea?

Never been willing? Just check the WWII records and look up the Brisbane Line.

The veracity of the Brisbane Line is actually debatable, and the common belief is that it did involve defending Perth. The line was, said Macarthur "from Brisbane to Perth" or something along those lines.

Macarthur? The guy that Truman fired for publicly contradicting him? Not exactly a person of unimpeachable character.

And this makes even less sense.

MacArthur was sufficiently ignorant of military protocol (or, more likely, had developed a sufficient God complex) to publicly criticise his Commander-in-Chief as a serving officer. Not at all a smart move, and not something that inspires confidence in a twice-removed "quote" from him.

1. I want to see a source before I believe he said it.
2. Even if he said it, I don't have a lot of confidence in him.

There, have I connected the dots sufficiently for you now?

I suppose he could go around punching babies.

Why didn't you have confidence in him? He would never have made General of the Army, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the Pacific in WWII or Commander in chief of UN Command during the Korean War had he not been a competent commander.

He was dismissed in 1951 well after WWII.

Kevin Michael Rudd (born 21 September 1957)
World War II: 1939 - 1945

So, care to come within coo-ee of the topic?

He is the first Australian Prime Minister born after World War II.

*flees*

Anyway, this leadership nonsense seems to be reminiscent of the Costello-Howard stuff in the lead up to the 2007 election.

Nicht gut.

- Non-existent border security. Genuinely doesn't care who comes into the country.

It does exist, I know a school teacher, which is a needed occupation, from the USA, our allie (who his wife was BORN in Australia) who had to go through hell to get his citizenship
Also, you forgot the housing insulation, letting a singer become a polition, Aborigional sorry day, saying more lies than Abbot and accusing him for being a lyer, the BER and the dole!
They are smart for not changing Kevin Rudd Dudd before the election, because they know if they replace him with Gillard she'll stuff up the country and people won't vote for her!, Also,I can't belive Garrot still has his job!

Yes, but that was a good number of years later, in a completely different war.

It is about the Australian's government not caring and unwilling to save WA and talking about past precendent of the case.

Close. I am referring to the fact that, historically, the Labor Party has consistently tried to centralise the government (I point to you the Uniform Tax I case, the Tasmanian Dams case, the Engineers' Case (yes, I know that Billy Hughes was a political pimp, but....) and several others), as well as, yes, the fact that said central government is absolutely useless when it comes to doing anything that helps WA.

...Letting a singer becoming a politician? That's what bothers you? That Rudd didn't pass some tyrannical law saying anyone who has ever sung professionally can never enter politics?

It's a free country, you can make that change in careers if you want.

Basically, you're ill-informed, incapable of coherency, utterly unable to put together a post lacking spelling errors...

Please stop posting on politics until at least one of the following:
* You're old enough to vote.
* You can spell.
* You know how to debate without spewing mindless soundbytes that suggest you've merely swallowed and regurgitated the opinions of others in an even more garbled form.
Really, it's for your own good, because you don't even seem to realise how absurd your posts are.

Which they will most probably have (in the form of the balance of power) after the next election.

Well said. One of the beautiful things about living in a democratic society is that anyone and everyone gets an opportunity to run for parliament if they so desire.

At least he's taken lightbulbs off his list

Regarding the BER, it was money that should have been spent a decade ago. Schools need modern facilities so that we can teach the next generation how to spell and make coherent arguments.
