There were few warnings from the media about Kevin Rudd before the 2007 election. Instead there were recommendations from people who should have known better, and to their shame, perhaps did. The result has been the most incompetent, wasteful and deceitful government in the history of the Commonwealth.
It first became obvious to me that Kevin Rudd was not the man to be Prime Minister from his actions in a field where, taking him at his word, I thought him an expert – diplomacy. Yet in October, 2008, a story appeared in The Australian about a telephone conversation it was claimed he had with President George W. Bush. The article reported how Rudd had been "stunned" to hear Bush ask, "'What's the G20?
Rudd allowed this story to run for days until, finally, an exasperated US ambassador protested. That Kevin Rudd was prepared to allow a story about our principal ally to run for several days, one he admitted was untrue, indicated clearly that he was not fit to be Prime Minister.
He confirmed this again when he described Beijing’s diplomats at the Copenhagen climate summit as "those Chinese f***ers are trying to rat-f*** us.''
There could be no doubt after that Kevin Rudd should never have become Prime Minister.
So who is to blame for a flawed man rising far above the obvious limitations of character and competence?
