Really, now. Prime Ministers do PR, yeah - but Kevo takes it to extremes!
There's enough footage of him from the BS PR trips he constantly makes, that a noted comedic telivision host has created a parody show using that footage, with a voice-over. Kevin Rudd, P.M.

One of these days, a politician will surprise us all and actually do some work.

I think that the biggest curse of a politician is that they cannot please everyone.

I love that show on rove, I think it is funny. Well suposedly despite the fact that Rudd is going all over the place he is dtill doing a lot of work. Personaly I still think he is beter then John Howard, and at least we are not trying to suck up to america anymore.

Unfortnately, now we're sucking up to China!

...make way for the cheap, smelly, badly-made plastic crap!

Howard was gay with Bush; Kevo speaks Mandarin and, I believe, was for some time a diplomat to China.

Both are foreign ass-kissers. What we need is a slightly more insularly minded leader.

For Americans, that would be the worst thing they could do at the moment - for Australians, that's what we need right now.

Lemme put it this way: I think we have more Chinese than American immigrants here. Use logic. That, and their nukes can reach us more easily.

My biggest domestic concern is that BS in the Murray River.

I don't think that BS is the problem with the Murray, though they do have quite a few cows in the area.

Kevin Rudd really annoys me.

Seriously, I'd rather look at John Howards eyebrows.

K.RUDD = Krud.

You'd hate mine. I was teased because my eyebrows looked like Howard's.

Are his speechwriters ever going to stop using the phrase working families? It's so fifty years ago. it's got no aspie appeal that phrase.

Does everyone here hate Kevin Rudd, I like him, though I agree that things could be handled differently, you expect that. But Rudd isnt that bad, Howard brought in GST, which he said he wouldnt, he lied a lot actualy and he brought in Workchoices, and spent money a lot. Rudd has scraped workchoices, said sorry to the aboriginals, and even given pay cuts to the parliment to convince others to lower unecesery buying. I hate the fact he keeps useing working families, it is like if I gave aspergers as a reason for the bad things I do, and some other things could have been done differently, I think that the fuel watch might become his work choices.

It's not so much that we are against Rudd specifically; but rather all wishy-washy BS waste of time and space politicians.
There's drought, job losses, reduced economy (though, the mining boom pretty much saved our asses there. Nothing much to do with the government).
If the bastards will, please, do something to at least let us believe they are working!!

As for the Murray River thing; please, Vics, Queenslanders, give us a little, eh?
I kind of like to drink... grow your rice paddies elsewhere, mates.
Yeah, I'm from Adelaide.


Whatsay I found an Australian political party for Aspergers people. I reckon a little honesty and logical solutions might help...
or, I could try a military coup. I can round up some paramilitary guys. I mean, you know, they mostly do kidnappings and kneecappings, but, hey, they're armed...

Yes I knew that was going to be a problem, when he was saying that working families I could tell that others were going to be neglected. I am wondering why nothing has been done I belive that it should be risin, though I know more then ever that there is a larger percent that are on pension, part of my thought is that there should have been some big plan. There is a surplus so there should be able to suport them, to me it kind of looks like it is kind of like the working class were ignored for a small bit so know others are being ignored.

As for the Murrey river what a stupid jobs from past governments, sustainability should have been top priorority. Now I used to live in Queensland and it was pretty bad there water wise, one of the problems is farming, to much taken from farming yet a lot of farming is not even being sold. I remember when I was a kid and I could play under a sprinkler, I so miss the days that water was not worried about like that. Though it feels like the states are not helping each other, I have noticed that Sydney wastes more water then the Brisbane, all states should have the same restrictions, or even that states with less rain should be able touse more water for things like plants compared to others.
