The emo-man of the election campaign was Kevin Rudd. Remember "working families" and their "pain" at the supermarket checkout and the bowser? Rudd's response is correct now, but it is precisely the same response that Howard and Costello gave some 7 months ago. It is disingenuous to suggest that Rudd show some backbone now. The die was cast during the election campaign. The issue here is the government’s credibility. The emo-man of the election campaign was Kevin Rudd.
