Please .. Not Rudd Again.

Morons flood back to Rudd.

Are people just stupid or living in a reality TV show? All of a sudden 49% of people are going to vote

Labor. Really?

Lets have a little recap of the last few years.

• When Rudd was Prime Minister just before he was knifed by Shorten & Gillard, labour was polling at  
  
  37%, so voters could see that he was pretty ordinary then.
• Then Gillard, who carried on with Rudds agenda, which failed at every turn, steadily whittled down the Labor vote even further to 29%. So Shorten and Rudd knifed Gillard.
• Shorten is now known as a serial killer of elected Prime Ministers and is waiting in the wings until Rudd fails again so that he can re-knife him and take over himself with those other "forever changing sides" survivors, Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong
• The other rats have already jumped ship, either resigning or going to the back bench. Unable to work
  
  with the alleged nasty little, incompetent Rudd. 

So the infighting ain't over yet trend setters. They are waiting around like vultures until after Kevie saves their seats, as a result of the "stupids" voting for him. If the election ever comes round.

So all of you Kevie lovers with short memories. Who do you think put all of the failed policies on the table?

Increased people smuggler activity, The Mining Tax, Pink Bats, School Halls, Plasma TV handouts, Carbon Tax etc. etc. All failed policies were introduced by Kevvy and Julia when they were friends. Remember?

I don't point out any successful policies because there are none. When Labor wants to talk about the NBN

and the NDS etc. being successes, you should realise that these things haven't happened yet and won't kick in for years, so how do we know they won't fail as Labor's record suggests they will? Already the NBN is reported to blow out from $43 billion to at least $90 billion by the time we see any speed difference.

So, after all of the stuff-ups, you're willing to forget and forgive and give Kevie another go? That's like saying to an investment banker who just lost all of your money, "That's OK mate, he's some more. hopefully you might have learned from your mistakes, after all there were plenty of them."

And can I point out all of the scandal and corruption that has emerged under Labor. Craig Thompson, Michael Williamson, Eddie Obied, Ian McDonald etc., etc. Even Julia had her day in the sun with Union Fund corruption allegations. Smoke, Fire?

Labor inherited a great economy from Howard and Costello. It was well in the black, we had a future fund of  $73 billion and everyone who wanted a job was working. Now we are $200 billion in the red and the future fund is all gone. Labor point to the GFC, however we have been riding the wave of a mining boom like no one has seen before, that is what has kept us afloat, and Labor still managed to waste all the money.

The mining boom is declining with the slowdown of the Chinese economy, so if Kevie get's back in, what do you think he will do? Spend his way out like last time? Unfortunately he can't because the Liberals weren't

around to leave him a Future Fund. The Bin is empty. 

Now Julia is attempting to write her own version of history. That is, that she was ousted because she was a woman and all of her problems stem from that. Puulleese, it sounds like Anna Bligh, Queensland's ex Premier all over again. There are numerous women leaders both in politics and business who have succeeded over many years. Julia and Anna failed because of their own incompetence and that of their party, just like males have done.

Just think, if all of the people in his party hate him (which is why he was so easily ousted in the first place) because they can't work with him and they think he is incompetent, do you think he might be bunging on the smile and the light banter and the populous speeches just for you? Can't you see through his lies and spin? 

Don't forget all of you "We want Kevie" devotees out there. It's the same government, they are just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.    

Gallen's Cheap Shot

There hasn't been a cheaper shot since Les Boyd on Darryl Brohman.

If Paul Gallen thinks that history will remember his cowardly, non-effective cheap shot on Nate Myles as the act of an Origin hero, he is as deluded as the desperate New South Wales officials, commentators and supporters who think that the act was acceptable in their forlorn bid to win a State Of Origin series.

He waited until Myles was pinned in a tackle by two of his team mates to swing a stiff arm into his face. When this had little effect on the Queensland tough man, Gall (Or is that Girl) decided to king hit him when he came up for air. His actions were nothing like other mutually contested Origin fights, they were those of an opportunist with no honour. Surely most observers would have seen this incident as out of kilter with the usual Origin battles, this was not a part of the battle. This was one opportunistic "sneak thief" throwing cheap shots. 

State of Origin is proudly built on Honour, and Gallen and the team officials sorely dented that honour last week.

When you are challenged and disrespected by one of the games legendary tough men, Gordon Tallis, to your face on live television, you then know that what you did was seen by your peers as dishonourable.

Tallis questioned Gallen on "The Footy Show" asking, "If you didn't like the way that he (Myles) tackled your in previous tackles, why then didn't you stand up to him then, Instead of waiting until his hands were pinned to attack him?"  

I've been disgusted by predominately NSW commentators, ex-players and officials who have dismissed Gallen's actions as an Origin incident, and slapped him on the back as a hero. Smiling and laughing about it on every football show I've seen. As they bask in the glory of one game win and driven by their desperate need to win a series, are they prepared to go to any length?

What about the reputation of the game and the message it sends to younger players. While governments and authorities are begging the population to stop endless cowardly "King-Hit" violence on the streets, NRL

officials seem to think it is OK for the NSW captain to make a cowardly attack on another player on national television and then condone it. Then, in another fine example as a senior player, Gallen comes out in the media and is not in any way remorseful, but "filthy" that he got one weeks suspension for it. If this had occurred in AFL he would have spent 6 to 8 weeks on the sidelines.  

What happens in the next state of origin match if others decide to take the cheap way out? Do we condone it and pat them on the back as well? Thankfully, I am confident that that won't happen, as I believe that most players at that level have more honour than Paul Gallen.
