Misty, I am not on any party's staff. I was respondeing to Eagle who suggested that it was more appropriate to deal with policies rather than people. I actually agree with the point. However, 1) the conflict of interest of Mr Rudd (if its true) having UN ambitions while negotiating with them is a matter of substance rather than individual attack; and 2) It is hypocritical and impracticable for either side of politics to unilaterally refrain from personal attcks.
