Denis Napthine has taken a page from the Kevin Rudd's economic bible and is doing the same trying to win this forthcoming state election.

I have no idea how he can come up with the money to fulfil all the promises, and how he can pay for the constructions on the book at present.

Denis, there is a tomorrow, and if you win, you'll be taking Victorians into the debit blackhole.

No thanks. I don't want to know about the devil or vote for any devil at all who ruined the country through incompetent and inapt government. Some people may say, "A bad policy is better than none", but Labor has far too many ill conceived and ill managed policies-on-the-run.

Kevin Rudd has a heart of coal and weak tear ducts. His "burning" desire to return to his throne after his ungraceful removal by his colleagues was never far away. Again and again, he sheds his crocodile tears begging for forgiveness even for things that he did not do. There is nothing fair dinkum about his tears.

Winning the hearts of the people of Australia is more than just showing a shaving cut on YouTube or knowing how to fiddle with the buttons or keyboard Twitting. Prime ministership is a dignified position, and the office must be filled by the rightful person who shows respect to the position - definitely not by a clown.

Can anyone trust the team of "drunken sailors" who has no concept of numeracy and economy, and turn a $18 billion blackhole into $30 billion in three months? If they can't make a short term forecast, what hope do the people of Australia have in returning to budget surplus of $4 billion in 2016/2017 as promised?

It is not Kevin Rudd's money. The money comes from the taxpayers' pockets. If you are a taxpayer, then you also contribute towards it.

Don't forget that the taxes are used for many other things which need critical attention. Kevin Rudd has been splashing around and wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money since he rose from his death throne. Kevin Rudd has been on television advertisement promoting not for the good of Australia but his own image hoping to win some more brownie points.

Where is Kevin Rudd going to pay for all his promises? The bigger the financial blackhole he creates, the deeper the taxpayers have to dig into the hip pockets. Kevin Rudd is not a money tree grower, and even if there is a money tree around, his s*** promise cannot make it grow.

All the disguises in promoting the government's programs and achievement including jetsetting to various parts of Australia, appearance on television, comedy on YouTube are not giving us, the ordinary Australians, a Fair Go to help build a better and more prosperous Australia. Kevin Rudd is a joke, a clown and the emperor in his new clothes.

Grow up, Kevin. You are not Peter Pan!

Another policy on the run by Labor. This is a band aid approach by Kevin Rudd, trying to clear the deck for an early election. This is no difference from having the asylum seekers kept in Malaysia, passing buck to another neighbour to do the dirty job, except that PNG is a UN signatory.

Ethically and morally this is very wrong to hand the boat people to PNG's hell hole where women and children will be abused in greater number and frequency. I can bet my bottom dollar that Kevin Rudd will shed his crocodile tears saying "sorry" again, meaninglessly. I want to state this very clearly that it will be over my dead body to to allow him to say "sorry on behalf of the people of Australia" because he is the one and only culprit, and his action causes it.

Kevin Rudd has to hit it while it is still hot now, or else his popularity will wane. Many Labor voters will give him that sympathy vote he deserves supposedly. Going to election just 1 week earlier is not a goer, for it does not gain much mileage to win.

Predicting the outcome of Power Ball or Tattslotto is unlike to be accurate due to the randomness. Manmade decision can be predicted to great extent, because human’s thinking is about "What’s in it for me".

Without knowing the candidates mix and who the new comers are, the prediction of election result is a bit uncertain. However, if all things being equal, I predict that there will be another hung parliament.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

I always believe that those who sit all day will remain at the(ir) bottom(s)!

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!

If there is a bush fire in a country town does not imply the whole of Melbourne is on fire. The crash in some regions is more evident and severe than others. Indeed, some suburbs do experience fall of 40%.

Many properties in certain suburbs are highly inflated, due to overseas investors’ coming to snap up properties in a rather uncontrolled manner – without requiring FIRB’s prior approval. This was an ill-thought out policy from Kevin Rudd who tried to avoid the GCF. This policy has now been reversed, and the overseas investors’ retreat stops further speculation, and the prices fall substantially and hurt many locals who follow the Joneses. Easy finance also attracted many who could not afford to fall into the mortgage trap and these people will be victims suffering from financial suffocation.

Life is more than just possessions and owning a property. During difficult times, people need to make sacrifices. My wife and I went without chairs for two years when I bought my first home. We used to sit on cardboard health drink cylindrical boxes.
