Rudd should be recognized for the courage of his convictions, his Mandarin-speaking proficiency and professionalism – that he lacked ‘niceness’ should not have been a political trigger for his ousting. Gillard will be an historical PM, not only for her ‘firsts,’ but for her ability to ‘read’ and act on priority issues and to stay true to who she is.

Julia Gillard is a formidable caretaker up to the election, and Kevin Rudd shall be back in his harness by the end of this year, as he deserve, like the country does.

You wanna bet?

A little rest and a removal of the gallbladder, everything will get back on track again.

The next Super Mega Tax should be on the Australian News Media, political advertising and to a certain degree the shady Poll agency firms.

This Tax would serve the Australian People’s mental health.

The real “assassins” of Kevin Rudd was Herald Sun, Sydney Morning Herald, ABC Television, The Australian, AFP and The Age.

Horrible Australian News Media !!!
