Whessly, Tony is not a doctor and failed to achieve anything useful while he was health minister. Also, lerlialen, it is difficult to fathom how the Rudd government has performed badly from an economic standpoint when Australia has emerged so buoyant after the GFC.
Rudd is far from perfect, and could certainly shift his energies to more useful areas at times, but to side with Paul Keating, god help us if Tony Abbott becomes prime minister

Oh and lets not all forget the very urgent climate change policy that he said will be implemented as soon as he is PM. What happened? Not so important when you've overblown the budget is it? Give me a break, this guy is so fake its ridiculous. Shane Warne has nothing on Rudd. Rudd is the king of all spin when it comes to talking about his policies. Open up your eyes Australia!
Yes he's so reliable yet he's never admitted responsibility to at least the four people who died that were linked to the home insulation scheme. The government funded school projects which has caused more problems then solved. The temporary fix on the economy which has now left the country in huge debt, and now he has to go back on promises made during election so he can repay it. Splashing money on projects for popularity votes instead of thinking of long term solutions will be his undoing.
I am so glad that NSW and Victoria can see through his bs and spin by the polls I've seen lately. The NSW state gov is pathetic when it comes to things like Healthcare and Roads and Traffic. This state has some of the worst roads I've ever seen in Australia. They think buying more trains is going to ease traffic. How about fixing the trains so they actually arrive on time? How about removing the ridiculous speed signs you see on roads so they can increase revenue. Where is all this money going?
Kevin rudd has misuse tax payers money on insulation scheme , first home owners grant pushing prices up, the most expensive school buildings in the world , money wasted on boat people, national broadband network which WE as customers of optus or telstra will have to pay out of our own pocket, Pay Extra for extra fast speeds. People think their net connections will increase automatically with not upgrade on plans , Upgrade on faster speed plans will mean higher prices . KRudd has waste our money
I love how the ALP went on about the arrogance of the Libs last election....and now the arrogance of Rudd in this debate with that filthy smirk on his face the whole time....and he barely even looked at Abbott.
Abbott had the balls to look him in the eye whenever he was listening or talking.
The Rudd Government has failed on every issue- fuel watch,Destroying the Surplus, The increased price of food due to overseas imports,Installation tragedy,Illegal boat people.
They both work for the same master and have the same agenda, what one party proposes and which does not pass the house, the other party almost always implements some years in the future. The pattern is always the same.
the lesser of two evils we've played this game before it gets us knowwhere. when will ppl learn, not to vote for this courupt incromentalis cycle towards socialism and facisim and show your distain for the systerm and don't vote. we need a revolution against these puppets, here today gone in three years plus benifts, dictaing what they think is best no what they tell us is best for us we need to take back our liberty (self ownership) if we are to ever be free of these moronic tyrants
Kevin Rudd is 1 of the very few reliable PM to have ever led Australia! That idiot next to him doesn't know what he is talking about, he has no policies what so ever, legitimate ones at least. K Rudd is using proven statistics & reliable sources of information given the history of Tony Idiot, & all Tony Idiot is doing, using red herring techniques with the PM because he has no proper replies & lacks experience, knowledge & by his behavior thus far demonstrates lack of education to run Australia!
I agree. The things Rudd's done for Australia, and is still working on (this health reform and the NBN) are a lot better than Howard's blatant Bush-blowing.
@twotrot, true, well the Howard government didn't exactly hand Australia in a golden plate to the Rudd government. Australia was in an atrocious state specially following the silly laws that came to existence from the Howard government.The Rudd government are steadily & strategically getting Australia out of the atrocious conditions it suffered. Unfortunately people want a change over night, "easy come, easy go". If you want a better Australia, then have a better foundation & build it steadily!!
@wandrawis1 I completely agree, solving the provlems of Australia brought on in the Howard years (and even problems from before then - I'm thinking the divide in socioeconomic level between Indigenous Australians and the rest of the population) will take a long time, but Rudd is taking us in the right direction.
I'll be frank with all of you - We have the people with good hearts enough, and we have the resources, to make space travel open to the public, and give health care to everyone on the planet.
Paper and human irrationality is what stops us.
Wouldn't it be cool to walk into a hospital, get some medicine, and the doctor just says, "Here, take it for free. I don't want to put a price on your health"
How did the Rudd staffers get hold of all the controllers to the 'WORM"??? That's what I want to know! ROFL
The worm was up through the roof, enjoying Rudd's waffle even when he wasn't talking about the issue. When the camera looked in Abbott's direction, it would take a dive before Tony would even open his mouth. I now think TV channels include the worm as a distraction for idiots who cannot understand the issues being debated.

Kevin Rudd is a fraud. Health is a populist agenda that has no solution in it's entirety. It is a problem that can at best be managed but never fully solved..mind you our's is better than most around the world. Rudd is in looney land if he thinks he can or will solve the problem.

Abbott may be in the Minister league, but he's definately not in the Prime Minister league. He'd be the first to admit it.
