And a PM more interested in flying around the world talking up his dud plan for a carbon tax that he would eventually drop the ball on.
You have the admit though, embarrasing to see the self-importance at that international gathering declaring Australia is at the forefront and ahead of the rest of the world in climate-warming policy. Thought he could convince the powers of the world to follow minnow Australia's lead. Instead he wwas politely dismissed and when it got all too hard he just took his bat and ball and went home only to eventually drop his )perceived) strong beliefs all together.
That was the start of the end for Rudd. Lost all credibility at that stage but he was very gullible in the first place to think he could influence the world, as noble as his intentions might have been.
