PNG Opposition Leader, Belden Namah, said that Kevin Rudd's penal colony plan is "madness". But what kind of madness?
There's evidence (erratic outbursts, egomania) that Kevin Rudd may have the same mental illness as England's mad King George III had.
George III had a particularly severe form of porphyria. His first attack occurred in 1765. Further signs of the disease showed up from 1788 to 1789 when (like Rudd) he exiled hulk people to a penal colony.
From 1811 to the time of his death in 1820 the royal patient became progressively more insane. His madness lost Britain its colonies in America as he would not negotiate on taxes. Rudd lost high office (as Prime Minister) as he would not negotiate on mining taxes.
Australian pilots must have regular medical examinations to retain their pilot's licence. Common sense demands that Rudd should be checked for porphyria before the election or Australia could become a gated community run a lunatic with a boat phobia.
