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.

correct...though she later referred to her public/work relate fb page as private .

and she hinted .....did not say what if anything happened did she ?

if we all believed what others put on the net (without any proof ) even 'we' may not be who we really are ....and innocent lives can be ruined....those who do that are gutless

14 days to go. Many are fed up with this longgggg election campaign.  I suppose there's one or two things we can hope for is that no political party in the future will ever be  stupid enough to name the election date months out and Mr Rudd will be gone soon so we won't have to hear what a misogynist he is.

[nevynreally]

The woman gave her opinion.

One side has held up as being an attack on Rudd (and how dare she diss our PM) and the other that she preferred Abbot (if she does you should)

Seriously, I think the fanatics on both sides need to grow up. Or allow those of us that just don't care anymore to not have to vote if we choose not to.

She didn't hint anything. She said she preferred to work on Abbot who was pleasant and possibly conversational rather than Rudd who was not. SHE IS ALLOWED TO SAY THAT. And she doesn't have to elaborate. Innocent lives ruined? Hyperbole

we are giving our opinion Nev .

The OP asked a question.

Personally I think the real fanatics are the one's who don't/won't consider that the things Abbott has said and done and the matter of a current legal matter are so much more important than fb gossip

Nev, did you read all that she posted ? 

gave details on Abbott not our PM (other than he was the exact opposite and that she has never had a worse customer) 

she lit a little fire and watched it burn

I agree with you on both statements, the make up artist said Rudd was rude and Abbott was courteous, theres no dispute there. I also agree compulsory voting should be abolished.

[nevynreally]

Yes  I did read it all.

But thank you for the assumption that I probably didn't because I don't agree with your viewpoint.

[azureline**]

No, she doesn't. The professional approach would be to say nothing in public.

The people who employed her said it was unprofessional of her to put it on her public fb page.

[nevynreally]

Unless she signed a waiver she has every right to post her personal opinions on FB. Welcome to the 21st century.

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 don't think trying to play it down is going to change the perception many people have of Mr Rudd.  I don't find it at all difficult to believe that someone spoke about yet another incident.
