THE nightmare that is the second Rudd government will not end soon.
Kevvie is not planning to drive out to Yarralumla this weekend to see his Governor General, the former Sex Discrimination Commissioner and former Queensland Governor Quentin Bryce, a Labor pin-up girl.
He has more important television commitments to meet in his herculean effort to burnish his image as a Leader.
Of course, Kevvie insists that he is in no rush to take the nation to the polls anyway, he wants the people to think his pop star appearances in schools and shopping malls are an indication that he is in the “business of governing”.
There is no governing taking place in Australia at the moment – only media opportunities and press releases designed to appeal to every voting bloc that might yet be corralled into considering returning to the stinking corpse that is the ALP.
When pressed yesterday on an election date by Melbourne radio host Neil Mitchell, Kevvie simpered: “Well there’s a thing called a constitution and it says when it (election) can be held.”
Real leaders in real life are men and women who call the shots and made decisions without obfuscating about the Constitution.
Australia doesn’t have a fixed election date like America. All the Constitution lays out are the limits for the government’s term, an election can be called almost any time as long as the necessary notice is given to the electorate.
Kevvie must think that he can turn the polls around.
The election he told Mitchell “can be held anytime up to October/November.”
We all knew that.
But Kevvie insisted: “I’m in the business of governing and there are things still to do.
“There is always speculation about election dates.
“There is the business of government to deal with.”
Oh Lord, spare us more Kevvie governing.
In his first term he laid siege to the nation’s economy with his lunatic Green policies, his mining tax and his reckless spending.
He lied about border security and encouraged the greatest surge in illegal boat arrivals the nation has ever seen and which continues to this day.
He governed as our troops were killed in Afghanistan and boat people died at sea.
He now desperately wants to attend the G20 leaders’ summit in St Petersburg on September 5-6, when Australia becomes the chair of the economic summit and prepares to host the leaders’ forum in Queensland next year.
Yesterday he had a telephone conversation with France’s Left-wing President Francois Hollande in which they talked up the importance of the Australia-France relationship as well as “the importance of the St Petersburg and (2014) Brisbane G20 summits”.
Of course they would.
Kevvie also hopes to address the UN General Assembly as the leader of Australia while it chairs the UN Security Council - an achievement he set in train when he was prime minister the first time, and pursued as foreign minister after being dumped for Ms Gillard.
Before being dumped as foreign minister, that is.
This blows the possible election date out to October 12, given the various football finals that scheduled for September.
The campaigning not governing will drag on.
Brace yourselves for more of nauseating advertisements and more of the gently-modulated tones from the egoistic psychopath as we roll toward a Spring election.
i wouldn't be punting on it either. there is something about "I agree apropos "mugs", '' in that post i find hilarious. in some ways(possibly because of my youthful rejection of the australian vernacular) i now find it funny... when you quote it John it seems all the more so.
