I predicted in November 2007 that Rudd will only be a one term PM.

Everyone thought I was stupid.

That's OK, I'm used to being ahead of my time and being thought of in such negative terms. The average person can't help but be average, and I can't fault them for that.

Since it's almost election time again, I think it's time to revisit this idea.

Given the plethora of fuckups over the past 2 and a half years, will YOU re-elect this cocksmoker?

[Lord Biscuit©]

You are forgetting to factor in Abbot. I simply couldn't vote for that guy.

[Thaluikhain]

You are forgetting to factor in Abbot. I simply couldn't vote for that guy.

That is an important factor, yeah.  But, maybe he'll be replaced in time for the election with someone that inspires more confidence.

[Gin Bunny]

Give us the plethora of examples please.

[Emperor Fadeaway]

Bikkie, that is an irrelevant factor.

People don't vote governments in, they vote governments out.

If they want to vote someone out, they will replace them with anyone but the guy currently there.

Case in point - 2007. They voted for Rudd for fuck's sake. Proves anyone can win, even a donkey.

[Emperor Fadeaway]

Give us the plethora of examples please.

I have just completed reading a list of about 30 in SMH.com.au article comments section.

Yes, there are a lot, and only a couple were drawing a bit of a long bow.

[Lord Biscuit©]

If the opposition guy doesn't matter, then how did Mark Latham not get in? (and to be clear, thank god!)

[Emperor Fadeaway]

People weren't sick enough of Howard yet, simple.

I thanked God that Latham didn't win too, at the time.

But somehow, I think I did that prematurely. If Latham won, we wouldn't have this idiot in charge. And as oddball as Latham may have been, I really don't see how he could have been worse.

[Lord Biscuit©]

30 eh? That sound enough to tip the scales!

Well it's not my list! I lied, there's 33 items on the list.

Quoted from this hot chick's article.

The Labor apologists that so frequently inhabit the SMH/Age websites must surely be finding it increasingly tough to find excuses for this government. The ETS backdown is just the latest (but perhaps the greatest) example of why Rudd is a failed PM and why this government is a failed experiment. Here's a list I've put together of all the broken promises/stuff ups since the last election. It was easy to prepare and is by no means a conclusive list !

1. Grocery Watch
2. Fuel Watch
3. Never taking Japan to Court over whaling as promised. We have now re-issued our threat. Guess when our "deadline" for Japan to stop it is? After the next election.
4. Talking up inflation in early 2008 leading to two rate rises just before the GFC, making it worse.
5. Wasting $900 cheques on dead people and people who live overseas.
6. Unlimited Bank Guarantees freezes people's cash in non-deposit taking institutions.
7. Stimulus spending totally out of proportion to Australia's situation during the GFC. Now we are paying for it with rising interest rates. Not to mention taxes will never be cut until the debt is cleared, in say ... 10yrs, 20yrs ? Who knows.
8. Green Loans Scheme shelved and Wong announces an audit into frauds. A tiny number of loans were granted at a cost of how many millions of dollars to set up the scheme?
9. Prior to 2007 he was a "economic conservative". After election and after GFC, he wrote a ludicrous essay claiming that "neo-capitalism" was evil. You can't have it both ways. If you were a economic conservative in 2007, then you were a neo-capitalist too!
10. Pink bats - people die, electrified houses, houses burn down, fake insulations get paid. Garrett demoted after Rudd said he was a "first class minister" and that Rudd would "take responsibility" for the scheme's failure! No compensation for industry yet.
11. BER - Building the Education Revolution (or Builder's Early Retirement) fund rorts. Eg. $900,000 for a single new class room. And it was a pre-fabricated.
12. Crazy boat people policy. When Howard left Christmas Island was a ghost town. There are now over 2500 I think. They are building more beds there too, and others have been transported to Villwood and some air force base in the outback.
13. Child care centres at schools broken promise. 38 will be built, not 260.
14. Failed ETS/Copenhagen debacle. 143 were taken to Copenhagen. Count 'em ... However, as soon as public opinion shifted, the great moral challenge of our time became no urgent problem at all. Now it has been shelved until at least 2013. What a coward. If he truly believed that crap about an ETS he should have fought for it in the Senate. Howard and Costello fought like street brawlers for an unpopular GST. They didn't stop negotiating with the Democrats until they won because they were conviction politicians, not pretenders.
15. Promise not to means test the private health insurance rebate broken.
16. Means testing the baby bonus sucks the big one.
17. Promise to "take over" the health system by "mid-2009"
18. New health policy to "stop the blame game" actually means a 60/40 Fed/State funding split and management of hospitals to be by state controlled Local Boards. So when waiting times don't come down or someone dies because they are sent home early from hospital, does that mean it is because the Feds aren't putting in enough cash, or the State isn't? Or is it because the State isn't properly controlling the Local Boards, or is it because the Local Boards aren't doing a good job. What a complete joke.
19. Former Defence Minister, Joel Fitzgibbon, basically admitted being bribed by female Chinese government official. Fitzgibbon forced to resign.
20. National Broadband Network. Initial cost was under $10b I think. Now $43b. The only player capable of handling it, Telstra, was rejected, then accepted back, and now is in limbo. The NBN does not have a business plan. That means no one knows whether it will add value to the ecomony, and if it does, no one knows when that might be.
21. Spent the last 10 years criticising Costello's ability. Then appoints him to control the Future Fund.
22. Tantrums because he doesn't have a hair dryer or because he got the wrong meal on a plane.
23. Lies about Abbott taking $1b out of health when he was minister.
24. Lies about those boat people who were taken to Indonesia on Oceanic Viking not receiving a "special deal" to get them off the boat. They were all processed in 4wks weren't they (and granted visas)? What's the usual timeframe? 3-4 months?
25. He appoints a former Labor member, and family friend, Quentin Bryce, as GG - the most important apolitical, impartial, position in Australia. Then has her travel to Africa to promote his politicial agenda and personal ambitions - 10 nations, 19 day lobbying tour to drum up support for Rudd's push to gain a non-permanent seat for Australia on the UN Security Council.
26. All time record levels of public debt and annual budget deficits, with the economic wizard, Wayne Swan, in control of managing it.
27. Every primary school child gets a laptop. Bugger all have. And most of them can't connect to the internet with it.
28. Playing politics with the Henry Tax Review. Not releasing it until very close to the May budget, no doubt in the hope that the Budget news will drown out anything nasty in the HTR.
29. Giving Toyota Aust $39m to help build a hybrid Camry, that even Toyota said they didn't need because they had already started building it.
30. Industrial laws that prevent teenagers working after school because if they work less than a 3 hour shift, Gillard's laws say they are being exploited !
31. Industrial laws that give Unions a statutory right to enter any employer's site. That is, even if the employer owns the land or has a right to exclusive possession, they cannot prevent them from entering ... onto their own land !
32. Insane levels of expensive trips overseas for the PM.
33. 2020 Summit in Canberra. Countless ideas were produced. PM said everyone of them would be the subject of consideration and a written response by the government. A paltry amount have got their written response - since January 2008. To my knowledge, none of the ideas have been implemented.

[Lord Biscuit©]

The reason you haven't read Abbots list is because they are still compiling it, and don't expect to be finished before June 15th!

[Emperor Fadeaway]

Abbott doesn't have a list.

He's an Opposition leader dear.

You do realise that he isn't accountable for government failures, don't you?

[Lord Biscuit©]

What a short memory. Cast your mind back a few years ago...back to the days of Howard...I know you can do it....

Hot...

...or not?

[Emperor Fadeaway]

LOL. Yes, his "achievements" as Health Minister are somehow relevant, are they?

I think you should resign from the electoral roll if you don't understand the system.

Well, as a Liberal voter Miranda is hot by default.

It's not an opinion, it's an implied fact.

So yes, of course she's hot.

[Lord Biscuit©]

I think her forehead is way to large. Maybe a lobotomy would help.
