Rudd car dealer ‘crisis’ is a beat-up

Car salesman Maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t see the big deal in the so-called Rudd car dealer affair.

The truth of whether Rudd used his influence to help a supporter gain finance seems to hinge on a non-existent email.

And even if he did, what’s the problem?

I can’t find the section in the Constitution that says Prime Ministers aren’t allowed to represent their constituents.

If a Prime Minister abused that influence I think the voters are smart enough to see it and turf them out at the next poll.

Public servants have the right to disagree with ministerial requests and should exercise that right if they believe it’s appropriate.

If a bureaucrat felt the Prime Minister’s intervention was out of order they should report it to their superior and seek written instructions.

Surely anyone that trusts Turnbull is a person looking at a party devoid of talent? I am a left-winger, but come on Joe (Hockey)… Let’s at least have a contest……..

Keeping it in the Rudd family…
Has anyone else noticed Mrs Rudd, besides me?
She is getting skinny!
Maybe Kevin is getting on her case, or, is she skipping breakfast?

Yeah! I know…but , its a girl thing.

Got something to say?
