deja vu all over again metooism

Rudd has just announced a package for pensioners - travel allowances, etc.

For full details see any Liberal website from week one of the campaign.

However the metooism that really gets up my nose is the one on capital punishment - it's bad enough that the Libs take this stand but for Rudd to embrace it is cynical beyond belief. What does this guy stand for?
