How is PM Rudd doing now?

Question

I am an American but very interested in Australia..how is he doing now? Better than Howard?

Answer 1

Rudd's a major dud

Answer 2

Oh yes, somebody said we had a new prime minister.  Must have been what that kerfuffle in November was all about.  

We'll know after a few more  parliamentary sessions though.  

The Liberals are like roos caught in your headlamps at the moment and have not decided to suicide under your wheels or to try to jump over the car, come through the windscreen and expire kicking in your lap tangled up with the air bag or maybe stand still and let you dodge them.

So far it seems that Kevin Rudd does not have the facility for blistering invective posessed by former PM Paul Keating who called someone "a shiver looking for a spine to run up".

Answer 3

he seems pretty good!!!!!

Answer 4

I like him he seems to be on the job , he has plenty of intelligents , he is working hard and I think he will be very good. Of course it's early days yet.

Answer 5

Mr. Rudd looks like being the greatest Australian prime minister since the late Sir Robert Menzies.  Howard's government was moving towards a police state.  One of the first acts of Mr. Rudd's government was to throw out a national photographic identity card.

Answer 6

Rudd has proved himself to be a serial a$$ kisser... worse than Howard. We're going to go into ruddcession...

He's no good for our economy or our country..

To the above person.. "working hard" is that why he had to provide documents to prove what he had done in the first 100 days of office?? lol

Person below - they have done nothing about the workplace agreements, not that I care. Julia Gillard said they will work on them within the next TWO years! So much for that election promise too!

The aborigines did NOT deserve the apology, they are after the money, do you read the news??

Everything he does is to get people to like him and you idiots are falling for it.... gullible!

He's now trying to kiss muslims a$$es by telling aussies to be more accepting of them... f*ck that for a joke!!

Before he became PM, he sat at the back of parliament picking his ears and eating it.. its so funny have you seen the footage?? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jht...

Answer 7

Kevin Rudd and his government are doing quite well for  newbies. We'll see how things are in another couple of months. So far so good.

I think they may have found a few unpleasant surprises when they started to dig into the previous governments files. I'm certain everything was not as rosey as the Libs would have us believe.

To say anyone is better than John Howard, is not really a compliment.

He became so out of touch with the electorate it was scary.

That's why he lost, not only the election but his own seat.

Answer 8

the economy was on its way out the door with Howard!! Rudd is doing a great job considering he had to pick up after the destruction of Howard and Costello. He achieved quite a few things in his first 100 days getting rid of those d**n workplace agreements, saying Sorry to the Aboriginal people and the withdrawal of troops frm iraq in june.   howard was the biggest george w bush a*s kisser ever so lets talk about a*s kissing!!!!
