Which is all very well, except now we get Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister. For three years. Had anyone thought that through?
Stand by your inbox first thing tomorrow for a full Crikey edition, chockers with comment and insight. We’ll feel better by then.
Meantime, here’s a thought or two to be going on with.
Rudd ran a very well constructed campaign and deserves congratulations for his win. The unknown factor remains how well an untested front bench and high number of first term MHRs wiill cope with the reins of power. How well disciplined will they be?
Well done Mr Rudd congrats on getting the top job.
Hopefully the debt owed to all the 1st time Labor voters wont exceed that owed to the Unions or Greens.
