The marketing of Mr Rudd - integrity problem

Mr Rudd's inability to sell 'Brand Labor's' product, has again emerged, with the continuing debate over Mr Rudd's questionable morality.

His able deputy Ms Gillard said this today in relation to attacks on Mr Rudd over the childhood experience which changed Mr Rudd's life..

"I don't know what about that Mr Abbott can't get. I think every other Australian would understand Mr Rudd's past and how it burnt into him Labor values.

"This is a new low in Australian politics, even for Tony Abbott."

This is why Ms Gillard .

Voters want more from our Government than settling for mediocrity, we want substantial debate and integrity from our politicians.

Voters want a real choice in candidates for public office, at the moment it seems we have a ' looser and a bigger looser’.

We want a system that says it's not ok for Mr. Rudd an aspiring Australian PM , to be put to the Australian voter by 'Brand Labor' on the basis that , Yeh sure he's has been exposed and tainted, but he's not as bad as the other guy.

We must all take responsibility in creating a new culture of political standards and expectations.

Last word to, Vocational and Technical Education Minister.

Andrew Robb said the attacks on Mr Rudd were a legitimate means of testing the Queenslander's fitness to be prime minister.

"Kevin Rudd ... has to accept that people need to find out what's in his heart - what maketh the man," Mr Robb told the National Press Club in Canberra.

"When something unexpected happens if he happened to be prime minister, would he be under the table or would be upfront leading the charge, dealing with the issue?

"It is our legitimate job to question and probe..."
