Sympathy does not necessarily translate to winning an election, but Kevin Rudd may make it.

Kevin Rudd dumped by Julia Gillard in a rather dramatic and ungraceful manner was viewed by many that Kevin Rudd was a victim, and treated his return to the prime ministership as something deserving.

For the past month, Kelvin Rudd has proven to be a good publicist, marketer, opportunist but a rather sore and resentful loser, lack the support of his former experienced peer in the caucus, who chose to resign rather than to sit in the same parliamentary chamber with him.

He is really good in saying sorry, but the word is far from meaningful if things just go wrong one after another. One sorry he will never have a chance to say is that the financial ruin the Labor government under him and former PM Julia Gillard that have dug.

Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd have no concept of financial management. The social reform policies have long term repercussion on a dwindling pool of taxpayers.

Tony Abbott needs to ask himself is, "Why am I not as likeable as Kevin Rudd?" Unless he rectifies all his negatives, a hung parliament may be the best case scenario in this election.

It is interesting to note that Penny Wong, former Finance Minister under the Gillard's government, has switched camp and landed in the position as the Leader of Senate. Penny Wong's survival is a very smart and strategic move by Kevin Rudd. Penny Wong is an Asian-born (Sabahian), lesbian female. She is the best tool for killing three birds (race, gay, gender) with one penny.

Recycled Rudd: Will he be better the second time around?

Liberal will win the next election, but Labor will put up a good contest under Kevin Rudd. The damage caused by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard will take time to heal.

There are several unfilled key positions, but under Kevin Rudd's wing is a team of inexperienced Gen Y MP's, due to resignations of the Julia Gillard's supporters and those sacked by Julia Gillard who supported Kevin Rudd in the previous showdown.

For Australia's sake, Labor must not win the election, or else Australia will enter an era of financial crisis. Not unlike Julia Gillard, both spent money like no tomorrow.

Kevin Rudd is the 26th and 28th Prime Minister. In his previous PM life, he demonstrated that he was a workaholic which earned him the title Kevin 24/7 with a management style dreaded by his staff. In fact, the PM office had extremely high staff turnover.

Kevin Rudd is a good communicator, but then talk is cheap. He has many Twitter followers, and speaks Mandarin very fluently. His smiling baby face is likeable especially adored by seniors, but this is a facade of "hiding a knife behind the smiling face" (36 Stratagems).

Fixed carbon pricing may be the first item thrown out of Julia Gillard's window and replaced by emission trading scheme (ETS), a more unethical way to reduce carbon emission. This is one of the tactic known in the 36 stratagems as "kill with a borrowed knife".

Gonski funding model for schools seems like a fair system, but it will not fix the real problems. Billions of dollars will be misused by schools and principals, not dissimilar to some of the Labor government funded projects. The core problem must be tackled, and the education system must undergo a complete revamping from early childhood learning to tertiary education.

Julia Gillard lacks all the traits of a good leader, and in fact, this is lacking in most political parties. Many of the so called party leaders depend so much on advisers’ opinions, and I just wonder who the voters really have voted as their representatives in the Parliament.

All the evidence whether empirical or real, had been pointing to inexcusable and unacceptable behaviour of any these members of parliament, and Julia Gillard should have nipped these matters on the butt decisively from the beginning.

Trust is earned and Julia Gillard has never in a single day as the Prime Minister worked on it let alone lost it. Not only Julia Gillard could not recognise or realise the importance of trust which can make or break people holding the highest position, but also all the advisers, and all the good-for-nothing people around her.

There is no need for any elders to give Julia Gillard the nudge to step down; in fact any nudge from anyone will only topple her completely due to her inability to make rational decisions.

I called 4 real estate agents to appraise a house, and only young representative impressed me very much. The house was a rental property, dated with telltale sign of mission brown door frame and skirting. However, he did not see all these as the downside. He was very enthusiastic, saw the potential, talked about the positives and explained how he would market the house.

Whether he could sell the house eventually is secondary, but he excited me by giving me hope that the house could be sold at the current depressive market. He never put any other real estate agents down; in fact throughout the whole appraisal process he concentrated his energy in the house only.

Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott are worse than lack lustre and lack vision; they lack the enthusiasm and salesmanship to put ideas across. They lack the important rapport called honesty and trust. Their views are superficial and mainly party line driven.

Julia Gillard is like a little spoilt brat; she wants her way to get the carbon tax bill passed, miscalculates the Malaysian solution and refuses to impose GST on online imports less than AUD1000; despite the public outcry, the risk of wiping out most of the small businesses which employed bulk of the working population and torment the already heavily debt-ridden farmers who are the guardians of the Australian food bowls.

Tony Abbott has to work on his body language. However, body language is a reflection of what he is within. It would be better if Tony Abbott could come up with something more positive in revitalising the manufacturing industries or any industry for that matter.

On many occasions, political parties use negative campaign to scare voters on their choice, but time and again the tactic failed. Polls after polls people of Australia have spoken that they want a strong a leader, a leader that leads and not to kowtow to foreign powers; a leader to give us hope, create job opportunity for present and younger generation and drive Australia economy further.

China was a third world country perceived to have nothing to live for during early Mao’s time. Australia was a lucky country according to Donald Horne then.

PM adopts Howard 'trust me' line

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/political-news/pm-adopts-howard-trust-me-line-20120326-1vuov.html

If a person is new to the game, trust is given as a matter of “benefit of doubt”. Subsequent trust is based on that person’s behaviour, action and performance. In short, trust is earned, and once that is broken, the damage is almost irreparable in most cases. There was an “original Gillard”, then the “real Gillard”. It looks like we are getting a re-jigged 1203 version Gillard. If whatever she says, she means the opposite, what she is telling us is “DON’T TRUST ME!”

Aussies are known to be knockers, and people in opposition party are not different. How much longer is Tony Abbott going to knock the Government / Julia Gillard? A week is a long time in politics, and when the time due for election arrives, voters are feeling just as sick to vote for the opposition for their less than impressive policies, only if they have any real policies.

The opposition cannot afford to sit on their backside to wait for the opportunity to come to push the Government over. Opportunities are created at times, and the time is now. Australia is not like some northern African countries, and it is unlikely to see riots in the streets to bring down the Government, yet!

When the “hidden” employed, educated Centrelink dependents, distressed former house owners, heads of broken families were to join forces, the repercussion can be disastrous. “Where the hell are you, Coalition strategists?”

All these reshuffling will cost the taxpayers truckload of money, because all those involved will have stationery thrown into garbage bins, to redecorate the offices, recruit and appoint staff, reorganise computer information for access authorisation, receive training and briefing on the new position, fix myriads of mistakes made when climbing the learning curve, etc.

Julia Gillard is no stranger in regards to staying in a position for short duration. She was a Jacquie of all trades, and Ms of almost none. This is the best way to make excuses that "I'm still new to the job".

For the dumped or out-of-flavour MPs, such as Harry Jenkins, Kevin Rudd, Robert McClelland and Mike Kelly, please look deep inside your hearts and do the honourable thing by resigning thus bring forth an early election to rid off this habitual lying PM.

Liar, liar, liar! Once a liar it is always a liar. Now, another liar comes on board!

I'm in fact referring to the habitual liar PM, and Carr who categorically denied of having the PM offering him the FM position, his expressing enthusiastically about Australia's bid for a seat on the Security Council which he had never been a fan of, and he said he did not want to go to Canberra, but will be sitting in the Senate. Bob Carr may be the excellent choice as the Foreign Minister, but Julia Gillard is definitely the wrong choice as the Prime Minister.

Australian foreign minister resigns amid speculation of leadership bid

Commenting on "Australian foreign minister resigns amid speculation of leadership bid"
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/02/22/world/asia/australia-rudd-resignation/index.html

I posted a comment to the news article published by Herald Sun (19/6/2011) on "Kevin Rudd set to party to mark his 'assassination day'. I reckoned that the whole thing was a conspiracy. Kevin Rudd’s resignation at 1:20 am Washington DC local time or 5:20 pm Melbourne Eastern Standard Time is the continuation of the saga.

The following is my original post, which was also posted to my blog site http://sinfongchanpolitics.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/kevin-rudd-set-to-party-to-mark-his.html

Kevin Rudd was never dumped. It was just an act to rescue Labor from total annihilation in the previous Federal Election. A change of leadership was the only way to beg the people of Australia for mercy to give this incompetent party another chance. With further intentional deterioration in performance will give Kevin Rudd an excuse to return to his rightful place - showing that he was not that bad after all.

Just think about this, why did Kevin Rudd just so happen had to admit to hospital at the peak of election campaign? It was just to avoid answering questions from the media. Former mates Wayne Swan and Julia Gillard did not visit Kevin Rudd at the hospital, nor a phone call to check on his condition was just unthinkable; in short, they are not fit to be called Australians if this was done intentionally.

Why in the world Julia Gillard has to kowtow to Kevin Rudd and keep Foreign Ministry just for a political "enemy", and provided such a big budget for him to travel around the world.

The so called conflict between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd went on and on like a pork chop. This is nothing more than a distraction so that Australians will not pounce on the government continuously about the wasteful unproductive projects and mismanagement of the country.

Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd did not come from the lower rung of the labour force. They were well educated and had not really dirtied their hands in the shopfloor during their younger days. Their ideal on Labor movement is no more what they have learnt from textbook. They use the Labor Party as the platform and vehicle to enable them to rise to the top.

Deep down inside, they are unlikely supporters of Labor movement, which is a hindrance to Australia’s progress. The current show down is a way to destabilise the factionalism within the Labor Party, so that the Party can move more towards the less industrially militant position like the Liberal’s.

Perception is everything to gain confidence of the people of Australia. Once again, Kevin Rudd appears like a sacrificial lamb and Julia Gillard the big bad wolf. Despite all these drama and stress, Julia Gillard seems patient, cool and unmoved. She is a very smart lady and appears to be unassuming. By stepping down, Kevin Rudd is seen to be honourable and “submit” to play the game of peace, and he will be given a chance to rule the country again, does extending the life of Labor Party in power.

During the past few months, many key Ministers are in dead silence. They are all in the plot, and know very well what is behind the story, and how future will unfold. For what Kevin Rudd has done, he will be given a Diplomatic post likely in China, Indonesia and upcoming Burma, countries that have great strategic significance to Australia.

Relative calm will prevail for the next few months, and many bills will be passed with the help of the Independents, Greens and even Liberal MP’s who now have lost patience with the leader. Many of these bills will result in Australia going into further debt. The real unemployment rates, not the so called official ABS reported statistics, will rise. The mining boom is going to fizzle out as China’s economic prosperity begins to slow down.

Julia Gillard will remain as the Prime Minister until the next mutiny which will take place prior to election 2013. At this appropriate moment, the baton will be returned to Kevin Rudd, a god send saviour who has the charisma to pacify the restless Australians, as the country’s economy takes on a tail spin!

Sadly to say, the Liberal Party’s inaction leads to their missing a golden opportunity to get Julia Gillard out of office, if that is their intention!

The ways Labor spent money on all past projects can only be compared with people with pea brains. Two wrongs don't make one right!

Carbon capture storage (CCS) was doomed and carbon tax will cause many Australian businesses to doom. Two doomed carbon schemes don't make one oxygen breather for Australian business.

Don't let this pain and suffering to continue further after the next election. Julia Gillard got rid of Kevin Rudd, voters will get rid of Julia Gillard. Two hopeless leaders don't make one great Australia!

As for the Coalition, two negative knockings don't make one positive policy.

May I ask the Coalition why two parties in coalition cannot beat one?

The strategy Liberal Party needs to adopt now is to "Conquer and Divide". Each Labor MP can serve only one master, either Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd, and therefore, for each supporting group, the number of MPs is less than the total number of Liberal MPs working as a team.

If any Liberal MP is stupid enough to start infighting now, they should be sent to Christmas Island and never to be released! Liberal's infighting will cost the party missing the boat to win the next election, presumably an early one.

For the Liberal's leader, too much negativity can lead to voters' revolt. Prove to me why I should vote for the Party if I perceive the Party is nothing more than just a bunch of sour grapes, and cannot think of anything positive to say, such as how the Party can bring employment and prosperity back.

Unemployment and trade deficits are not just numbers. They represent jobs that bring home the bacon. They are the roots of many family breakup, depression, and other human sufferings.

No one is trying harder than Tony Abbott at present to get the top job; he is determined to get it.

It is better for someone to declare his position, his vision no matter how unpalatable it is for the audience, than a little mouse who pussies around!

We don't really know how good or bad Tony Abbott will be until he gets there. Isn't it true for Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, too? They had big ambitions that caused more hardship, made promises not kept and spent money on projects that lined the pocket of the unscrupulous!

Until and unless Rudd becomes the Labor leader, he will not disappear in the wilderness. He will continue to destabilise the party, and create more uncertainty.

When someone including Rudd tells you positively that he is going for the top job, you know for sure he means what he says. On the contrary, if he tells you otherwise, there is no certainty the answer stands.

I place my bet on Rudd is going to challenge Gillard. Oh yes, personal glory comes before consequence!

It is a noble idea to prepare students for careers, but where are the employment opportunities for those equipped with diplomas and degrees? Many reform policies are short-term policies and do not create jobs, let alone giving false hope to establish careers.

More and more factories have been closed, and jobs outsourced overseas. Online purchases from overseas could have been taxed and yet not done so. Collecting GST from these purchases can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars; good enough to fund some small infrastructure projects and create jobs. In the meantime, retailers will be able to survive the tough times and retain workers. While she is going to collect a big pay packet, she ignores the plight of the small business people. Is she going to wait until retailers collapse one after another before she realises we have a serious problem on hand? Unfortunately, many Labor members always treat business people as big bad wolves. This is probably ingrained in Julia Gillard’s mind, and as a result, she lacks the ability to understand the relationship between jobs and employers.

As some futurists may say, "The future is here". Offices and schools have no walls or boundaries anymore. Not only the office workers will soon be a thing of the past, but also the professionals; many will be joining the dole queue. This is a reality check; if workers or staff can work remotely from home, why can't work be done by much cheaper labour force overseas?

Julia Gillard is a Jackie of many trades and Ms of none. She was in many portfolios, but for a short time in each, before being elevated to the highest post. She told lies after lies and broke election promises after promises, in order to get to where she is today. I do wonder whether she is either suffering from dementia or a proverbial liar.

She really lacks the brain juice to understand that pushing out reform policies is easy, but getting those implemented takes more than the stroke of a pen or pressuring her team, the Greens and the Independents to kowtow.

Is Julia Gillard conversant with the so-called reform policies or did the ideas just popped up during a night-out with the not-so-up-to-the-job Labor colleagues? She holds the false premise that "Two wrongs make a right". Government policies affect lives and livelihood of the Australian public and the political, financial and social stability of this nation. It is wrong to be gungho to get the related Bills passed in the Parliament. It is myopic to focus on implementing reforms which are bad in the eyes of majority Australian citizens.
