Does Kevin Rudd have a problem with women?

[idlewhile]

The evidence is mounting that not only does Rudd have a problem with people he believes are beneath him but he seems to have a problem with women.

The RAAF cadet who was reduced to tears because Rudd didn't get his preferred meal on board a RAAF  flight, the tantrum with the hairdryer he couldn't get, the appalling rudeness to Ms Kenneally whilst she was premier, the 3 year crusade to destroy Julia Gillard, the rude & arrogant way he treated the make up artist & now the brush off of a young woman trying to ask a question & was jeered at because she wasn't a "working journalist" after she was given permission to move up front & ask a question by Rudds staff.

We are not privvy to the reign of terror he perpetrated on his staff in the PM's office but were witness to 80% of them fleeing his employ.

We have heard about his massive ego & his filthy mouth but the disdain he seems to have for women is worrying.

what is this arrogant way Kevin Rudd treated this make up artist paid by us to do our PM's make up ?

gossip posted on her public fb page ....boosting the Libs...knocking our PM ...her Politics aside she says  (yeah and I'm a monkey's uncle)

maybe he didn't talk,didn't like her work,doesn't like certain make up ,didn't praise her work,his face being touched ,maybe he just didn't say thanks ,asked if she ever shuts up ? (like Tony Abbott did to our PM )lol

I actually don't get why they make this such a big issue but Tony's "sex appeal" comment is no big deal?  So why is not saying hello to the make up artist a major deal?  hellooooooooooooooo!

Kevin Rudd ? mounting evidence ? 

This from smartcompany:

http://www.smartcompany.com.au/managing-people/057003-tony-abbott-thinks-a-colleague-has-sex-appeal-...

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers principal in employment and industrial law, Kamal Farouque, told SmartCompanythis morning 

 that referring to the appearance or sexuality of a colleague in the workplace could be perceived as sexual discrimination.

“Sex discrimination is a difference of treatment of men to women,” he says.

“You are going into danger territory if a manager or employer describes a woman’s appearance in this way.”

Farouque says Tony Abbott was asked to compare the former candidate with the new candidate, but he did not refer to their competence, knowledge or likely benefit to the community if voted in, but rather referred to looks. He says in the workplace this commentary could be seen as demeaning.

“If it is one colleague to another not (not manager to junior) it can still be sex discrimination, depending on the context, if it diminishes their status,” he says.

Was it Kevin Rudd who has said about a women "when she says no it doesn't me no"  (Tony Abbott used that publicly in referance to Julia Gillard ).......wouldn't even listen to any suggestion from the public that that comment may be very offensive and not only to our PM.No that comment was not from Kevin Rudd it was from Tony Abbott.

When is Tony Abbott due in Court ?

and is Scotland yard currently investigating  ,in the UK, our main source of news for allegations of phone hacking and bribery ?

 I'll repost this again.

People with businesses and those who's workplace training is up to date probably already know this stuff anyway.

Re your post ............???? 

we don't know what if anything much at all did happen do we ? other than some women thought it a good thing to give the libs a plug and our PM a kick on her professional PUBLIC fb page . she had a job to do...so did our PM's make-up.His job did not include paying lip service to someone putting his make up on just before he got his thoughts together pre the debate.If she didn't like and /or can't comprehend how important his job is and shows that little professional respect for her clients and our PM.It is her that has the problem.....our PM's may  never have had a worse make up artist!!!

I do not particularly like Rudd, I would have much prefered Gillard to be able to stay and win the election.

BUT, I do respect Rudd; he is extremely inteligent, educated, speaks Mandarin, is very good on international stage.  He is well known for working extremely hard and long hours; many people working with him found it impossible to keep up with him, and that was what made problems.   I am sure he would be very hard boss to please, but he gets things done.  Of-course, to get things done he needs to get elected, and so he needs to inpress the electorate and offer them something to vote for.

These ridiciculous incidents with cabin crew member or make up girl.  Frankly, if I was on a long haul flight after a very busy tiring day, and expected to land, and having to face media and who knows what else, I would be extremely angry to find that there is no meal for me.

And the make up girl; it sounds like that she did TA first, because Rudd said that when she did his make up it was only few moments before the start of the debate, and he does not recall anything that would account for her complaint.

Some people who should know about these things have suggested that he may have aspergers ?

Would so much be so funny if he did ?

[crystal**flake]

I was just thinking.........abbott isn't much better is he?

[nevynreally]

The woman who did the makeup on both contenders for the top job has as much right to voice her opinion as anyone else in this country. You don't have to like her opinion anymore than anyone has to like yours.

[donnashuggy]

I haven't heard of him intimidating women like Tony Abbott did with the wall punching incident when he lost against a woman.

Abbott lost against Gillard too so I suppose that must have caused him extreme grief, must be frustrating for men who would rather get physical than debate intelligently.
