Looks like the sugar hit was a very brief one for the Rudd party.
The PNG deal is found to be 2 pages of mostly rhetoric.
Protesters screaming coward at him in the streets. (where's the love gone)
The cowardly caucus allowing him to dictate the terms of PM's & Opp leaders tenures.
The weasel words of "drownings" now but not a word from them over the last 6 years on the deaths.
The dysfunction is showing already & Rudd is showing his true colours of not being able to govern, not discussing important issues with industry before rushing headlong into policy changes (remember the mining tax).
There has been no costings put out re the PNG deal, word is it's going to cost billions, yes, billions we have to borrow, I can't see this ever getting off the ground just like the failed Timor & Malaysia thought bubbles.
The PNG deal is a mind boggling exercise in logistics, language, religions & the murderous jealousy of the PNG'ns when they see some getting more than them.
Rudd will have to call an early election otherwise he will droop like a soft whip cone but will he go for broke & hope the polls steady? is this any way to govern a country? it's scary but we knew that this would be the result from Rudd.
