Our politicians should have integrity, Mr. Rudd should be held to account over his less than up front explanations regarding Brian Burke. Particularly learning that Brian Burke's daughter has been working with Mr. Rudd.
If politicians think that they can treat voters with contempt and get away with it they will. The degree depends on the individual character.
Mr. Rudd’s character it’s not looking good.
We voters should accept part of the responsibility because of our, which political team do you barrack for attitude, which allows our team mate to throw a high tackle but call foul to the umpire if the other team does it.
Have a look at the following quote to demonstrate how a politician, Mr. Swan, can treat voters with utter contempt.
Comments by Mr. Swan Media Statement - 29th March 2007
" ..Let’s not forget Peter Costello’s desire to scuttle Labor’s policy of increasing superannuation contributions. Prior to the 1996 election Costello promised to continue with Labor’s policy to increase contributions from 9 per cent to 15 per cent,"
The reality today Mr. Swan is a little bit different isn't it?
Recently Wayne Swan rejected the policy of increasing the super guarantee levy from 9% to 15%.
Mr. Swan explained the reason why it's not necessary to help the low income earner provide for their future, this way.
People could reach the 15% contribution through a mixture of the 9% guarantee levy;
Relaxing the means test for the $1,500 co-contribution scheme, the wealthy will like that;
And, this is what makes me mad, the shortfall to be paid by the individual increasing their own contributions.
We voters must start somewhere and insist on integrity; otherwise we taxpayers will be paying more tax for the stuff ups that occur

The marketing of Mr. Rudd - integrity and solar panel?
.
Mr. Rudd why bother to try and package a great idea which is a Liberal party idea as your own?
You tell us how fantastically Green you are, yet you are Pro Nuclear.
You lead us to believe that you have come up with this idea, then we find out it’s actually a Lib idea. The $4000 rebate for solar.
You announce it as your own on the strength of a deceitful argument that the Libs policy, which has already been extended to this years finnancial end.
Mr. Rudd Says...” But we do think it’s a practical form of assistance and we put this forward because the Government has not indicated that it will be continuing its own photovoltaic rebate scheme beyond June 2007.
Mr. Rudd the Budget is in May, thats when you will hear about the the Governments solar programme rebate scheme.
Are you so inexperienced in matters of Government.
Or just lacking integrity?

This is what Mr. Rudd says why he accepts that you can rip up forests of immense natural beauty hundreds of years old providing vital eco systems for flora and fauna in 2007 with a backdrop of climate change awareness, just for votes in Tasmania.
RUDD: Oh, no, look, when it comes to forest policy, we believe in a balanced approach. We want to make sure that there are appropriate conservation levels right across the country. And forests are important for the future. It’s all part of the fabric of an integrated response to climate change"
Yeh right Mr. Rudd you have sold us out, again.

The Premier of Western Australia called Brian Burke Toxic.
.
The point being Mr Rudd working with Sarah Burke should understand that the Toxic Brian Burke could have improperly used his daughter in his lobbying business.
Mr Rudd said that he did not understand Mr Burkes influence and position as a power broker in Western Australia, he has met Brian on many (3) occasions, so as leader of 'Brand Labor' Mr Rudd needs to have the information provided to him
Mr Rudd, look at the CCC information regarding Brian Burke, speak to WA Premier Mr Carpenter, then decide your self if there could be an improper use of Sarah Burke.

You say..".. as if this is true WHY haven't the government jumped onto this yet.."
.
Are you saying that if it was true, which it is, that you should rightly expect the Government to bring Mr Rudd to account for himself in Parliament.
I guess timming will determine the Governments responce.
All politician will seek to get their message out at an appropriate event, to lessen the oppositions events message getting out.
Politics, nothing out of the ordinary there.
Mr Rudd, your options are lessened by the day.
Soon you wont have to say anthing else on the Brian Burke affair as the tapped phone conversation intercepted by the Western Australian Corruption and Crime Commission, between you and Mr Burke will say it for you.
Remember Mr Rudd you started off this process by being less than up front in regards to your dealings with Mr Burke, and how you came to be at that dinner in Perth.

Mr Swan, interview, 7 March 2007.
.
Journalist: Is this going to upset some sections of the Labor Party though?
SWAN: Look, I don’t know whether it will upset some sections of the Labor Party but there is no going back.
Of course there is no going back Mr Swan, the deals have been done.
Alannah MacTiernan WA Senior Labor Minister says the leaders of a handful of unions in WA control a large percentage of the votes in the executive conference.
Mr Rudd understands this, Mr Rudd got too close to Brian Burke, and has not been up front about it.
In doing so Mr Rudd has lost his integrity and should not be endorsed as a Labor candadate for PM.
CCC revelations may make it impossible for Mr Rudd to talk his way out of the Brian
Burke affair.

Mr Rudd isnt a messiah, he is just a very very naughty boy.
.
Mr Rudd should accept the fact that there is an issue of accountability to avoid a conflict.
Mr. Rudd and Mr. Burke - My daughter works with you, that gives me an edge, improperly of course.
Accountability Mr. Rudd, what have you done to stop this potential conflict?
Ms Tanya Plibersek, Shadow Minister for Human Services, Housing, Youth and Women. Says...
"What is character? Character is doing the right thing, regardless of reward or approbation. Character means consistency, not convenience."
Character Mr. Rudd, if the other bloke should have it so should you.

Mr Burke's link to the highest position on the ALP.
.
Mr Rudd, works with Ms Burke on the National Executive.
Mr. Burke understands, as does Senior Western Australian Government Minister Alannah MacTiernan, when she says the leaders of a handful of unions in WA control a large percentage of the votes in the executive conference, can be a powerful motive.
Mr. Burkes close to the WA union movement.
Mr. Rudd was obtaining numbers by doing deals at the grass routes to develop a policy platform, not numbers for a challenge, which saw Mr. Edwards’s, introduce Mr. Burke to Mr. Rudd.
Mr. Rudd, working with Brian Burke’s daughter should be aware of Brian Burkes influence and tactics and not put his head in the sand.
There should be a system in place to stop this potential conflict of interest being improperly used, by Mr. Burke.

Three steps to hijack the ALP, while being knifed in the back.
Step 1 Attain Parliamentary Labor Party leadership.
Step 2 Develop policies that will guarantee the numbers and use the National Executive to persuade the Australian Labor Party, to hand over a valuable brand, the Labor brand to a small clique of politicians, with right wing ambitions, and take it to the Australian people.
Step 3 Obtain numbers by trading off values, doing deals with grass routes key stakeholders and lobbyists, whilst cultivating others.
Mr. Rudd took a slightly different route to get to the position he is in now. It is text book perfect.
Whilst understanding there would be leadership change in his party Mr. Rudd, started his long journey at Step 3, moved to step 2, then ultimately Step 1.
It is at the Step 3 obtaining numbers at the grass routes, not numbers for a challenge, which saw Mr. Edwards’s, introduce Mr. Burke to Mr. Rudd.
Brian Burke, the lobbyist described by WA Premier as ‘Toxic’ is a talented bloke, he was an ex Premier himself, and would have seen the benefit of, being a proud dad, and inform his prospective and current clients, ‘hey Yeh my daughter is on the ALP National Executive committee’ with Mr. Rudd.’.
And we know that Brian has the goosd in Western Australia.
