Billybongo says "Kevin thought he was a super hero."
Gillard, Rudd and Tony Abbott loom so large in the Australian Political Landscape that I can't recall the name of the Labor MP who represents me. He's like one tiny figure in this painting \|/ where Pharaohs Gilliard, Rudd and Abbott are larger than life.
Aussie elections = US Presidential elections. This began when Rudd first took office and opted for a Liberal PM (not a Labor Caucus) system of picking Labor Cabinet Ministers.
Caucus elected Rudd. Caucus should demand that Caucus picks ministers and Rudd allocates portfolios but hiring and firing ministers is the responsibility of Caucus or Labor will be as autocratic as the Libs.
