Oceans - I agree as well. I'm a bit cynical generally of all politicians - but I think even if Rudd has lapses in judgement occasionally - he has too many good staff around to keep him on his toes.

Look at today - all the news about a taxpayer funded nanny for his youngest child. I found a tiny little mention that Rudd is paying the proportion of wages of this staff member in relation to the duty of caring for his son. The media generally have managed to leave that out. There is also the matter of security - since Howard, security has had to be stepped up - so his child should be guarded at taxpayers expense..

Howard had three children with him in Kirribilli House. It would be interesting to know what he billed the taxpayer for in relation to them.

As I don't support part time jobs over full time ones, I don't believe in allowing fewer young Australians to go to uni, I am not at all fond of high interest rates, I don't think bunging money at the aboriginal problem works as bunging money at it created it in the first place, I don't like the public service reducing its numbers, I am not keen on the falling value of Australia's industry which will result in many job losses, I have no interest in a cable in the ground, I don't believe every kid should be given a computer by the taxpayer, signing up to a treaty which will send jobs off shore is not agreeable to me . . . .

Terrible I'd say because I love Australia.

I voted Liberal.

From a strong Johnny supporter to turn tail and follow Rudd instead...... Sprint, you truly are a Christian. No sense of direction.

Can you qualify that sprint? Why the rating of 4 out of a possible 5? That would make him pretty effective in your eyes.

I congratulate Sprint for having a mind of his own and not displaying the lemming mentality so reminisecent of some in here.
No need to qualify..Sprint has always admired certain traits that Rudd possesses.

Reply #11 - Feb 23^rd, 2008 at 4:36pm AusNat - hhahahah Rudd is VERY effective. 4/5 is probably a hard call for him in hindsight. What he has done in the time he has been there is amazing. Oceans - I call it flexible. Some that know me call it fickle. Still , Rudd is the PM now. Look what he has done.

No thank you - I heard what you do with it d!ck.

Tell me Mr Phugingsmith, what bit is he doing good so far? The bit which reduces uni places? Or the bit which has quite a few unions threatening strikes? How about the bit where he tried it on to get the taxpayers to cough up for a nanny for his teenager? Or the bit where he buggers off while everyone else has to go to parliament? Could it be the bit where the interest rates are going through the roof? Or perhaps the bit where part time jobs are replacing full time ones in the insecurity of a new IR tyranny? The bit that has Centrelink and Foreign Affairs reducing services to Australians?

Have I covered the bits that are good in your opinion?
