The marketing of Mr Rudd - policy

Lets assume the Election will be in November, the countdown has begun.

Mr Rudd, is new, six months as Leader of Labor, his inexperience in government is highlighted by the Fact that he has never held a Government Minister's Position.

The voters need to believe and trust Mr Rudd, when he tell us that he, in fact, can manage the economy, and Australia.

Its a huge task, so trust is vital.

The responsibility of the opposition leader, this time it's Mr Rudd, is to put out his policies to the voter, soon, or risk not having them understood.

When is it reasonable for Mr Rudd to give the Australian Voter his economic policy details so the voter can study them and therefore make an informed decision whether Mr Rudd can indeed run the economy, or not?


I say its now time to put up.

.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - GST

What will Mr Rudd do to make the GST fairer to the less well of in our community?

This is a rellevant Labor Issue, and all we hear from Mr Rudd is that, trust me I wont increase it, but Mr Rudd thats not the point.

Mr Rudd look at making the GST Fairer, eg take it off food.

Mr Rudd it is your responcibility to act on scrapping or rolling back of the GST.

You show no Labor principle if your only aim with the GST is to raise it.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - China

What is Mr Rudd's position on the question of Taiwanese independance, as the opposition leader we need to know where he stands.

Will Mr Rudd release a foreign affairs policy for us the voter to judge.

Should we just accept China's view on the soverignty issue because of trade impilications, rather than taking a global stand over China's Human Rights abuses including those against Taiwan.

It becomes clear that we are at a cross roads in the politics involved in Taiwans desire for independance.

There is a direct link and clash here between our foreign affairs relationship with China, and our obligations under the ANZUS treaty, that need to be debated.

Currently if there were an outbreak of hostilities between China and Taiwan,{ who want independance } Under the ANZUS treaty we are bound to offer assistance to Taiwan.

Where as Mr Rudd shares an alternative view, a pro China view, statments by Mr Rudd say that Taiwan should not talk about political independance from China.

Its a very interesting issue.

Is Mr Rudd too personaly engaged with China to offer an unbiased view.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - Medicare Saftey Net.

Mr Rudd - medicare saftey net. I think its going.

Doorstop interview, 5 April 2007.

Interviewer: What is Labor Party policy on the Medicare safety net?

SWAN: The Labor Party’s policy on the Medicare safety net is something that we’re looking at at the moment.

Rather than Mr Swan erasing voter fear , that Labor would keep the saftey net, he instead said that they are looking at it

Mr Rudd, we are still waiting for your disclosure of the Scrapping of the Net.

.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - China

China is known for its dismal human rights record.

Mr Rudd it seems is still continuing to put his personal interests and personal friendship with China ahead of Australia's position against human rights abuse.

Mr Rudd appears to be meeting the DL on june 12 2007.

The question which has not been resolved is in what capacity will Mr Rudd be meeting with the DL.

A few weeks ago Mr Rudd's spokesperson said the reason fro the delay in setting a time to meet the DL was the conflict of not wanting to meet using his title opposition leader, but rather said Mr Rudd will only meet the DL with his old title foreign affairs shadow.

Mr Rudd has not disclosed or mentioned this important fact, and how it was resolved.

I believe Mr Rudd will meet the DL, not in his capacity of Australia's Opposition Leader,therefore demonstrating failure to show Leadership and principle, over self interest,leading to the motive of Mr Rudds desire to Kowtow to China.

Mr Rudd your support of China's human right abuses, put many chinese lifes in danger, and continued horror.

Taiwan wants independance from China, the DL wants Tibet, why back China.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - Conservative Labor

The Unions are concerned Mr. Rudd, hold the IR line and especially not to back down on AWA's.

AWA's sparked passion in Mr. Rudd when he shouted many times he would abolish AWA's, to applause and cheers from the Labor faithful.

But, now it seems the passion to abolish AWA's is going in light of Mr Rudd's new found Conservatisim.

Mr. Rudd is set to lay the ground rules for Mr. Rudd's 'Conservative Brand of Labor' AWA's.

How far will Mr. Rudd take the Labor Party, before the Party takes Labor away from Mr. Rudd?



.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - Conservative Labor

The Conservative vs non conservative divisions are evident within the ALP, and causing a serious problem for Mr. Rudd.

Ms Gillard is known for her social vision and responsibility, her conservative leader favors cold market driven policies.

The IR framework taken from Ms Gillard by Mr. Rudd to make it more conservative, demonstrate the decissive nature of 2 party agendas and one determined leader, this has already taken a toll in their relationship and that of senior opposition MP's.

The Lack of talent In Mr. Rudd's team also show that any party disunity will be hard to deal with effectively.

The marketing of Mr Rudd - Conservative Labor

Mr Rudd, is demonstrating how easy it is to change from a principled Labor postion to a Conservative Labor Party position.

Climate change emmission targets, the enviornment, has been placed behind economic interest.
Not setting mandatory targets until an economic report.

Pure Rudd conservative politics vs, Labor supporters held views for the need for Leadership on enviornment issues.

Mr Rudd, has taken back control of IR policy, from Ms Gillard because it was too worker friendly, not business friendly enough for a Conservative politician.

Pure Rudd Conservative politics, vs Labor supporters views on being a workers party.

The determined Mr Rudd applying the economic test first is at odds with Labor Supporters who believe in social justice and the dignity of the worker and leadership in enviornmental matters.

Labor supporters have not yet understood that a Conservative Labor Party will produce a policy platform that they will find difficult to support.
