A tragic tale.
Saturday, June 26th, 2010I was going to write about the leadership issues facing Kevin Rudd over the proposed Resources Super Profit Tax….but a bit late now me thinks! A very sad event during the week because I personally have a lot of time for what he was trying to achieve. And I also can appreciate the personal devastation he and his family must be feeling…I think we forget that politicians, for all they might annoy us at times, are human beings as well.
The upside is that I think Julia Gillard is an extremely talented person who will do a great job. Not only has she been handed a good base of reforms on which to build but she has skills in the very areas that Kevin Rudd lacked…and which, it seems, led to his downfall. This will allow her, I believe, to successfully implement some of the reforms that Kevin Rudd was not able to.
