    Rudds use of Colloquial Language: Is this the right track?

    Agreed. Most Australians can't and wont analyse the reasons behind this. The reason I suspect they can't analyse it, is because of the level of media management Rudd has going on. I expect politicians to make mistakes. I eagerly wait for them to do so, so that I can hear how they respond and...

    Rudds use of Colloquial Language: Is this the right track?

    Who, Nelson? One person who, as nice as he was personally, had the political personality of a wet sao? Not a very strong indication of how that transfers into Rudd being the most popular politician outside of Hawke/Menzies. :/ Anyway, this is a bit off track really. Question: Do you think Rudd...

    Rudds use of Colloquial Language: Is this the right track?

    Fair points. However, he hasn't been in for that long, so we can't rule out that it wont occur. Don't get me wrong here Lentern, I don't think that I am some kind of expert political barometer. I'm just saying that I believe that based on his performance so far, he's not as convincing as...

    Bahahahaha. Kevin Rudd's 'fair shake of the sauce bottle' mocked by Tony Abbott - news - LIVENEWS.com.au

    Rudds use of Colloquial Language: Is this the right track?

    That's true. All this comes down to is Rudd trying to present as something he is not and more to the point, not being convincing at it. If you want to create a false illusion of who you are in politics, you have to be good at it. You have to make it believable. Stick to what you know, Kevin. If...

    Rudds use of Colloquial Language: Is this the right track?

    Inevitable that Rudd has once again tried to change his style of communication to suit his audience., and failed miserably. His motive is understandable though, as his four consecutive predecessor PM's used these techniques. However, it's his execution that lets him down and begs the questions...

    ITT: Funny photos/vids of politicians

    To cut through the serious tones of Political discussion in NCAP, i'm creating a thread to exclusively showcase the moments that politicians have brought us humour, both intentionally and unintentionally. Howard, Rudd, Keating and Costello spring to mind, but i'm sure there are many others out...

    undergrad Med at Newcastle

    Try posting this in the UNCLE forum. Not sure if there are many BOS members doing Med at Newie, but I know a fair few outside the online community here that are doing B.Med there.

    I don't know that commenting on tabloid news would be the most convincing opportunity to change his public image (for the better, anyway). Whilst I can't agree on it being 'clever', it's pretty obvious why he made the comment. I'm of the view that there are much more appropriate, more dignified...

    Dear god, would Johnny have made comment on this tabloid mess? Honestly. Even Gillard has shown some respect and told the public to butt out and leave comments on this alone. But not Kevie. Gordon Ramsay is a new form of low life - Rudd | TV | News.com.au What next?

    Brown's appearance on GNW tonight was pretty sickly hey. He was supposed to be having a bit of fun and showing some personality, but instead he chose use the opportunity to sprout politics. He sure looked out of place.

    Yeah so....a quirk? I was talking on the phone with a mate at 11:50pm tonight when my train of thought went onto when I was working next. I then realised I was working tonight at 12am, at the AIC. :o Ha. I got here 5 mins late. Pretty much the quickest turn around i've had so far from not...

    It's sad fact that if he does indeed declare bankruptcy, he'll be booted from parliament. I don't know much about the guy, and don't pretend to. But that's a rubbish way to go.

    Tracy Grimshaw v Gordon Ramsey

    Grimshaw really, really needs a bullet. Unnatural, scripted, whiney and totally unbelievable.
