Time for Labor to move to the 'A' Team of Gillard/Tanner instead of continuing to play the 'B' Team of Rudd/Swan?

Change we can believe in.

No.... They can't!

Not yet....

I enjoyed the article. Thanks.

Rudd is a New World Order man. He has already told us so.
He is merely playing his part in bringing about a new world financial system.
If it is fiat based it will crash as well. These guys haven’t factored in the role of market sentiment
and fiat currencies have just about had it.

Rudd is clearly doing a terrific job of selling gloom and doom. Not sure he’s the right person to get the country in a frame of mind to get up and on with the job. Sounds more like he’s telling us not to bother to get out of bed for a few years. I’m really getting fed up with him these days. He’d be okay if the economy was going along all right, but he’s not exactly inspiring when times get tough.

I do hope the practical people rather than the idealogues get the upper hand in government. (I suspect we need someone like Keating right now.)

Most disquietening have been predictions of 10-11% levels of unemployment. A broad section of the business community have been pleading with the government to review its IR legislation but Gillard is not for turning. I think that the government is exhibiting the same doctrinaire inflexibilty of which it accused John Howard. With the ETS and IR looking to impose further costs on employers it will be interesting to see Labor plead its case in 2010. With a little luck, Nathan Rees will still be premier in NSW. Talk about people waiting on their verandahs with baseball bats. And Rudd has to go first!
