Fairfax Chairman Accuses Rudd Of Destabilising Labor

lightningdance — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:44:49 GMT

This scathing interview is disastrous for Rudd but at least Australians are at last getting the real picture, from the ABC, of this man who has ruined the politic & is the tool of destructiion for the Labor party.

Emma Alberici was in a position she doesn't like having to listen to this man & his critique of Rudd.

Why Oh why did Labor abandon all morality & ethics & reward this man with another go at leading our country when they knew his nature & his toxic behaviour.

Fairfax chairman Roger Corbett accuses Prime Minister Kevin Rudd of destabilising Labor

ABC September 4, 2013, 6:05 am

One of the country's most prominent businessman has given a scathing assessment of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

In an interview with Lateline, Reserve Bank board member and Fairfax chairman Roger Corbett accused Mr Rudd of destabilising and damaging the Labor Party.

He says Mr Rudd has been discredited by his own conduct and Labor should have stuck with Julia Gillard as leader.

"In my view, Kevin Rudd is a leader that has been really discredited by his own conduct," Mr Corbett, a Reserve Bank board member, said.

He said Mr Rudd's behaviour after he was sacked has cost Labor dearly.

"Here's a man that has really done the Labor Party enormous damage, destabilised it and is now wishing to present himself to the Australian people as a prime minister .. and as the incoming prime minister," he said.

Mr Corbett said Tony Abbott would make a good prime minister "because he's a very sincere, nice type of human being" and says if elected, he will have a mandate to scrap the carbon tax.

Poor Kevin, This whole campaign has been a disaster for him personally. He started off the the cut, cut, cut mantra until he was ridiculed for it. He's been lambasted publicly to the extent he has to do set pieces with his staffers & children who can't vote because he's getting abused & heckled. by the public.

The incredible 3 stooges act of Rudd/Wong/Bowen trying to discredit the oppositions costings only to be shown as liars by the Treasury & now Fairfax has finally started to print the truth about this man.

At last Australians can look forward with some hope that this type of person is never allowed any power EVER!!!!! they should be rooted out & expelled from the party. Rudd is unfit to hold any kind of office.

Julia Gillard should have done this & one can only wonder why she didn't.

The most incredulous thing is he destroyed Kim Beazley's leadership, the party knew what he was like but they put in in TWICE.

.Labor will suffer for putting him back.

The man was not asleep and his head was lifted up looking at what was going on, the man would probobly NOT vote at all so was of no use to KRudd so he would not waste his time, seriously bad look Mr Sheen.

Fairfax Chairman Accuses Rudd Of Destabilising Labor.

Corbett is a Fully paid up member of the Liberal party. he also sat on the woolworths board.. this company is australia's largest poker machine operator. which party has the oh-so -convenient self-regulation policy on gambling ? the libs. this is akin to placing an poly drug user in charge of the hospital pharmacy.. something that has corbett and his gambling industry pals rubbing their grubby mitts together. who do you think he'd endorse ?

these reasons disqualify any comments he makes, its just more partisan dribble .. dribble that comes from the enthusiasm of knowing in advance that Abbott's team have written him a blank cheque.

yeh, if folk, like you, weren't intent on your continual snipin', you'd take a minute to consider roger corbett, 'is other hats, his vested interests, no risk why he'd be takin' pot-shots to discredit rudd, and labor.

used his position at woolworths, and as a member of the liberal party (neglected to declare durin' the interview) to sledge the government of the day, publically and often.

used the same tactics here, on the abc, to promote his own media interests, surprised he didn't try to flog his own pharmaceutical interest's products, also, on the show.

interview were only his own beliefs, such as on abbrott's favour-the-wealthy PPL, which m'self and many others, disagree with.

interview also covered other topics, lick-abbrott's-boots corbett was very evasive, about those. stayed right clear of discussin' the NLP CON the australians turnbull trick, on the NBN

yeh, aye, funny, corbett forgot to mention that under labor's watch, the australia's GDP's grown by 0.6 in the latest june figures released http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-04/gdp-figures/4934100

funny, lightnin', no bias from roger corbett, nah.

Wasn't it the fairfax rags that stuck their noses in and told Gillard to step aside for Rudd?
