Chimbu,
Rudd and Swan are a joke.
You may be right, but if I may be allowed to suggest something:
Lib/Nat are generally the better managers; but, just like any management, they run out of ideas after a while and need to either move on, or be 'moved on'. Certain recent changes in commuters to an address on Coward St., Mascot come to mind...
Anyhoo, Little Johnny came in with good ideas. Along the way, he had a few stuff-ups, told a few egregious, outright lies and did a few embarrassing things, but was generally not too bad, especially when measured against his peers.
But, success went to his head and when he ran out of good ideas, he turned ideological; then it was time to go. But he became a gripper (ie. a w@nker who won't let go) and started giving the Conservative side a bad name.
So I'm glad he got rolled, so the next Lib/Nat administration (hopefully 2010) will be refreshed, renewed & invigorated with new ideas. And hopefully will take good advice as to when to give the next lot of up-and-comers a go.
