Yep PNG sure is working well... NOT
Greg Sheridan says Rudd’s bluffing on boat people isn’t working:
The PNG Solution has not worked, the boats have certainly not stopped, nor even much slowed.
With the boats that arrived in the past week, the total number of boatpeople arrivals in Australia in the month after Rudd announced the PNG solution is 2764. The Rudd government has sent a few hundred to Manus Island.
Only in the context of the chaos Labor has created on our borders, could nearly 3000 people arriving in one month be considered a sign of success…
The capacity at Manus, and the planes going to Manus, are not remotely keeping pace with the boat arrivals to Australia.
It is clear that the PNG Solution is a bluff and there is no prospect of capacity equalling demand… It seems pretty clear PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill envisages a maximum capacity for Manus of 3000, which has almost been reached by the boat arrivals in Australia since Rudd announced the deal.
Solved! Go to Solution.

More Labor lies, not looking good for them at all.
Won't be long now & we will at last be able to have some faith that our country is being managed by competent experienced politicians, not the rabble we see every day.
All they are interested in is saving themselves at the expense of lives at sea & their own cushy jobs.
Voters have seen through them., especially Rudd, they will be gone Sept.
The Rudd/Gillard/Rudd failure will be historic in the fact that they got a 2nd term & screwed up even worse than the first time.
I'm concerned for Rudd's mental health, will he be able to carry on to the election? every day he looks more vacant & only jerks back into life when a camera zooms in on him then slumps into the car to whizz him away.
Now we see his wife propping him up, holding his hand, just hoping he doesn't fall apart, spin out of control. This man is not fit for this, never was, was always hated even when he was with Goss, doctor death they called him & the relentless undermining of Kim Beazley turned many Labor stomachs.
He has no political convictions, see climate change, carbon tax, gay marriage, border control, negative politic & so many other core values he espoused then he jettisons them for political gain.
Many of the MP's who held cabinet positions have gone because they won't serve him as PM. This alone is enough to frighten any voter off.
After the election I hope Labor get rid of him for good, he's toxic & viral. I almost feel sorry for what he did to Gillard even though her massive mistakes were of her own making.

Another Failure by Rudd and this govt
Asylum-seekers plucked from the ocean after their boat began sinking
ONE hundred and six people have been rescued from a sinking asylum-seeker boat north of Christmas Island.
Two people are reported to have minor injuries and a search and rescue operation is continuing. Authorities did not say whether everyone was accounted for.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) received a request for help this morning from a person on the boat, which was then believed to be carrying about 105 people.A Customs and Border Protection Dash 8 surveillance aircraft found the boat foundering at 12.20pm (AEST).
“The vessel was upright, but partially submerged. A number of people were sighted in the water,” Customs and Border Protection and AMSA said in a joint statement.
HMAS Parramatta arrived shortly afterwards and began plucking people from the water.
By 3.30pm, HMAS Parramatta had recovered 106 people from the water.
A merchant vessel is helping the Royal Australian Navy vessel with the operation.
HMAS Pirie is en route to assist and is expected to arrive in the area shortly.

Windrake,Our Prime Minister (Kevin Rudd) isn't the one who is toxic and viral

He has many followers who love the toxic & viral. Many on twitter & fbook who follow his viral inanities.
Many on here keep it quiet when they gleefully participate on the disturbing & offensive Pyne post, but carefully hide the innuendo of name calling on this post.
So yes there is a toxic viral miasma many of the left would feel very comfortable with draped around their shoulders.

Poor Mrr Rudd, according to polling people think he's arrogant & cranky, wheels falling off I think. He will go the way of his predecessor, voters will reject him & his ilk.
Poor Julia, he really did a number on her didn't he? she hasn't been seen since the coup. This poisonous personality is asking us to put him back in, wow, that's arrogance for you.
