another royal commission into qld govt, page-3

An interesting point you allude to noonie is that Rudd family fortune was derived directly from the public coffer.

While there is nothing wrong with this, the direction Rudd takes with his views on Government financial and economic management are well warped by this apparent fact imo.

Having now wrote two essays for public consumption on the matter, he clearly considers himself a guru on the financial system despite no formal qualifications on the subject.

I think it is safe to deduct where his unfathomable faith in the governments need to intervene and control the free markets and every other aspect of the economy comes from.
