Dear Monsieur Duicorp, those were not "some useless bunch of overpaid and under performing public servants"..well they were, but more accurately, they were ( even more hilariously, in some cases, ARE,) his parliamentary colleagues.
Secondly it IS up to the Australian people to Judge Kevin Rudd,it is, and more importantly (than would- be President Rudd), they will judge the Australian Labor Party...
when the would be President Kevin stoops to allow them that privelege.
He just needs to build a few more football fields of firewalls around himself first... so he can get on with governing for all Australians from deep within the bunker
