rudd trying to avoid community debates

Just saw K Rudd on Paul Murray Live. He said he'll debate Abbott again but wants it to be before a panel of journos.

Funny, I thought that's what happened last night when he bombed. He showed no interest in the commmunity forums.

Methinks Kev realises that Abbott is much more a man of the people than he is and doesn't want to take up Sky's offer to do the RSL type forum with both leaders on stage together fielding questions. He knows Abbott will wipe him there as he did with Gillard in 2010.

Kev's shine is diminishing by the day.
