"It is a sad time to inherit power be it the US or Australia."

and never a truer word was spoken.

Gough Whitlam must look at Kevin Rudd and shudder and then say to himself "I'm having deja vu"

After lengthy periods of Liberal rule in prosperous times a few economic ripples appear. This causes the voters to become disgruntled. Labor is swept to power heralding a new golden age until just a few weeks later......the mother of all crashes begins. For Gough it was late 72 and of course we had Kevin07.

We just have to look at how the gig blew out for Gough. Kevin Rudd should be a little concerned.
