Will Rudd surpass Keating? (1 Viewer)

[Jeee]

Don't ever call me broseph again. And as merely as you were saying what you said I was merely saying that it was bullshit.

Broseph.

Merely saying it.

 

[absorber]

No.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Broseph.

Merely saying it.

And you're merely a moron.

 

[Jeee]

And you're merely a moron.

Wow, how hurtful, what you said is tear inducing

 

[Dooga]

rudd is shit
keating was way better than rudd
howard is the best

 

[withoutaface]

Bullshit there was nothing wrong with it. Were you against the tax cuts the government made in 2008?

I'm against plagiarism.

 

[Tully B.]

rudd is shit
keating was way better than rudd
howard is the best

Yeah, Howard outwits them all / sarcasm

 

[Lentern]

I'm against plagiarism.

Well lucky for you Julie Bishop is not a government minister any more.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

I'm against plagiarism.

Oh, I didn't know it was only the Liberals who were allowed to enact tax cuts.

 

[HumanDichotomy]

Yes Rudd is calm and he isn't rude. The differences end about there.

Ruddismslines i've heard him mutter at the dispatch box)
To Turnbull:
"The member for goldman sachs, the leader of the opposition"
"He could, infact he probably has hired every environmental advisor in Australia and still take his cues from Heifer"
"The leader of the opposition and the shadow treasurer attempting to explain their position to the liberal partyroom could best be described as the lost leading the blind"
"Don't worry Malcolm you'll get to throw your two cents in, (Albo:Two cents?) well I doubt he'd be willing to part with any more than that"
"It would far more useful for the parliament to hear the member for O'conners views on the matter as he is far more likely to lead the liberal party to the next election than the member for Wentworth"

On Julie Bishop:
"I thank the minister for finance and deregulation for his question, well I'm pretty sure he wrote originally Mr speaker"
"I'd began to wonder if the deputy leader of the opposition was still allowed to speak during question"
"Jules the grown ups are speaking"

On Costello:
"Captain courageous over there, the would be prime minister without any intestinal fortitude whatsoever. Mr I would like to be prime minister but whoops I'll sit back and let it pass me by again"
"He has lived all his life to challenge labor party politics but will forever be too much of a coward to take on the leadership of his party where he might be able to do something about it"

These are awesome!

Most popular =/= best prime minister

Malcolm Turnbull, if he had a hope in hell of ever getting elected, would surely be the greatest PM Australia has ever known.

 

[walkahz]

Rudd is fucking shit. He has put us that far into debt it isnt even funny. Bring back Johnny.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Rudd is fucking shit. He has put us that far into debt it isnt even funny.

By "that far into debt" do you mean debt levels similar to previous ones in Australian history? Id est: the lowest in the Western world?

Sure, I'd prefer no debt, but let's not delude ourselves by buying into the Coalition's hype machine.

I actually agree with you there.

While I'd prefer Hockey as the leader of the opposition party, I'd prefer Turnbull as Prime Minister over him. And Costello over both of them. But that chance is gone now, as far as I am aware

what a fuckin surprise- conservative dickwads being closed minded.
the only time anything gets done in this country is when labor is in power.

btw what the fuck kind of right wing party calls themselves "Liberal"? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS?
they're all absolute fucktards.

Okay cool so criticism = close-mindedness?

the only time anything gets done in this country is when labor is in power.

What exactly has Rudd achieved? Can you name anything good Rudd has done?

Rudd does not get things done.
This is how he works:

Step 1: Announce bold promise to fix/reform/tackle [insert issue]
Step 2: Commission white paper/report/etc
Step 3: Consult widely with stakeholders
Step 4: Get distracted by something else in the news cycle
Step 5: Have some committee meetings
Step 6: More consultation (even if no one shows up to the information sessions)
Step 7: Backpedal from major reform and launch a rebranded but otherwise similar/identical service/policy or make minor tweaks only
Step 8: Congratulate everyone on a job well done

For examples refer to: Indigenous Agenda, Health, Tax/Welfare, Defence, Climate Change, Employment, Workplace Relations, etc

National Broadband Network.

 

[dieburndie]

National Broadband Network.

Um, that hasn't been done.

 

[murphyad]

Um, that hasn't been done.

Well, obviously.

But it is being done.
Rudd's not far past the halfway mark of his first term. It's not as though reform (even small-scale) happens overnight.

no, krudd cannot surpase keating as the best PM australia has ever had, it would require keating to be the best (whixh he isn't) and krudd to be better (which he isn't), he may however overtake keating as the biggest bag of douche we've had running this country
