All the colour & movement since Rudd knifed Miss Gillard is nothing more than campaigning on the public purse not governing. The totally ott Yirrkala speech yesterday was Rudd at his best, trying to blame shift onto Abbott & politicizing an important day for the indigenous of the Top End. Using this occasion for himself.
Rudd outright lied twice blaming Abbott for heel dragging the constitutional change so important for Aboriginals when he knew that Abbott, rightly , supported constitutional change & Labor had bi partisan support for it.
The thinness of policy coming from Rudd & the overblown rhetoric says nothing has changed for Rudd, still the narcissist endlessly referring to himself, I, the prime minister of Australia, at every turn & denying, by never referring, that the Gillard years ever existed. It's like watching a deluded madman on a stick.
The unions will allow him to be the PM as long as he doesn't try to restrict their power.
ANYONE who thinks that Kevin Rudd can change the ALP's leadership selection rules is ignoring the history of Rudd in his first term as prime minister. Ultimately, unions won't allow him to make the change. What they will allow is the impression of Rudd being a strong leader as a political ploy for the election campaign. After the election they'll predictably knife him again.
