Why are we taxpayers paying for a company that cannot survive without subsidies?
Is it because they employ good Labor voters? Is it because the jobs saved are paying union dues that go to Labor to fight elections?
Where is the Labor government when small business and farmers go under? Where you say? I can’t hear you!
Mr Rudd:
1. Will Australian taxpayers be paying for their relocation and care in PNG?
2. Who will take care of their security? Will our federal police be relocated to do that?
3. If the deal is not renewed after twelve months, will we have to take them back?
“You will have ten minutes. We will have a stop watch.”
A Labor Party advertising agency has been trying to convince various digital youth media that a ten minute interview with Kevin Rudd will interest their audience. But they will only have ten minutes. And there are conditions.
As part of the deal, the media will be ‘encouraged’ to provide inventory on their site for youth-focused election advertising and editorial, produce entertaining content on the theme of the inadequacy of the Liberal NBN plan, and provide access to pro-Labor and pro-NBN talent.
Of course, “The PM will not review the questions/discussion guide”, but the advertising agency will.
I wonder if these questions would make the interview?
With all the cuts to university funding, will students be able to finish their courses?
With so many delays to the NBN, what’s the benefit if it never reaches homes before it’s outdated?
A lot of our readers cannot find a job, and it’s got worse since you were first Prime Minister. Are you really capable of fixing that?
And now that our ten minutes are almost up, aren’t massive cuts to spending and rises in taxation the only solution to paying back the massive government debt you incurred, thereby denying our readers opportunities in the future?
If they get an answer to one question from the Prime Minister in that time they will be lucky.
The Labor Party has denied all knowledge of the advertising agency brief to the media. LOL!
While the Prime Minister runs around the country like Caesar celebrating a triumph, there is still no effective response from the opposition leader.
Time is running out Mr Abbott. Stop faffing around and really serve it up to Kevin Rudd. Otherwise, Labor will continue in government because you have no hope of winning the election on current form.
What would happen if a dishonest and manipulative person was able to convince people that history never happened, that it was only fiction? Where people blindly believe that bad things never happened.
Well folks, history tells us that it’s happened before. And it’s happening now.
The reason for this is that ignorant or apathetic people believe what they’re hearing. They believe until it’s too late.
Too late to undo the harm they are in. Too late to complain about their situation. Too late to blame others except themselves.
For your sake, learn from history and reject the fiction sprouted by false prophets. The decisions you make could have consequences that you may not like.
There are probably seven Labor MPs who regret they supported Kevin Rudd for Leader of the Labor Party, against Julia Gillard.
His proposed nobbling of any future vote against a leader in a leadership ballot is going to cause a lot of friction in the Labor caucus. It will in effect take away any real power an individual has.
The caucus vote on this issue will take place next week. That may be an opportunity for a re-think and the call for another leadership ballot.
Now they’ve had another taste of Mr Rudd, Labor MPs may prefer electoral wipeout to another three years of his smug, dictatorial and didactic leadership.
When the Prime Minister challenged Tony Abbott for a debate on the economy, Mr Rudd said ‘any time, anywhere’.
Mr Abbott should have called his bluff and accepted the challenge immediately, and I mean immediately. He should have said that he would meet him at the Press Club that day for the debate, or first thing the next morning if the challenge was made at night. The media would have turned up willingly and it would have been on.
The Prime Minister would have been caught off guard and Mr Abbott could have stopped Mr Rudd in his tracks. But I suspect Mr Abbott wasn’t ready either, because debating the economy is not his strength, or so we’re led to believe.
Now the sisterhood has lost its cheerleader, it’s time for Tony Abbott to take the gloves off and take on Kevin Rudd.
Man to man. No perceived sexism. No false misogyny.
Kevin Rudd has no policies, yet he is sucking the air out of the debate. Please Tony, go after him and go after him hard. Otherwise you will be left on the sideline grasping for breath.
The Prime Minister has not guaranteed to honour the election date of 14th September, set by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
My guess is that Mr Rudd will wait until late November. He will have served for three years as PM, on and off, and that will be a milestone for him. He may also believe that the longer he waits the better his chances.
My guess is just a guess, and is as good as anyone’s at the moment.
When do you think the election will be?
