It would stand to reason that if you think Lil Johnny is 'geniune', then you would by the same criteria, think that Rudd isn't, and vice versa. They are indeed opposites.

Howard has shown us all just how geniune he is. That's why his approval rating as Prime Minister is at 36%.

It might surprise you, but Labour leaders don't become heroes of the working class ( as you describe it) by being able to swing a hammer. It's because their concern for the 'working class' is as genuine as their concern for other Australians that are trying to earn a dollar and enjoy their lives. Unfortunately Lil Johnny still carries prejudices from his childhood, and no matter how hard he tries, he just can't hide the fact that, to him, 'working class' is synonymous with 'second class'.

Thankfully most Australians recognise this.
