'Oh the ALP are still enjoying a honeymoon. They have it in the bag. You will see. The media is in love with Rudd. They aren't turning the blow torch on him because they want to marry him. Have a big wedding with Rudd all in white, and 200 Press Gallery people - except for the wise news limited types of course because they've been steadfastly objective with their weekly predictions the honeymoon is over - in tuxedos then off on government transport for a big honeymoon of Rudd love. Wait and see.'
The election goes to the coalition. Swing against the government of 7%
'The Rudd government is on the nose. They said they would lower petrol costs - the didn't. They said they would lower grocery prices - they didn't. All they do is watch. Watch as it goes higher. Well watch out Mr Rudd because the people of this blue ribbon national seat, who have returned coalition people for the last 40 years, have spoken. And they have spoken loudly, and clearly, that you are singularly responsible for petrol going up. Indeed local legend speaks of a hamburglar like character who at night sneaks on to the web and lifts prices on fuel watch and independents, who are small business people at the mercy of your can't sack people without compensation if they work for 12 months or more laws, are then beholden to those prices even though the hamburglar set them. The hamburglar who bears a suspicious resemblance to a certain Krudd. Yes, the people have spoken. They have spoken to me and they have said Mr Rudd, you wanted to kill the post office and turn it into a lesbian bar where lesbians could marry and be recognised by the law as married and they said no Mr Rudd. They said no and they said petrol is too expensive and they said the five cents off we offered them would be welcome. They didn't say anything about the impact of the Iraq war which analysts have said bears a lot of the blame for high prices due uncertainty of supply - a war which my party fully supported even while the inspectors will still trying to find those weapons that a man who knows a man who knows a man who said they were there. You are on the nose Mr Rudd and my party will respect my leadership at this time and my ability to go from placid lake to turbulent rage in ten seconds as I weave stories of doctoring in my defence of Taragos for the disabled. And they will keep me as leader because I can put the blowtorch to you Mr Rudd. You and your committee setting. You have been warned Mr Rudd. Warned. And we will have posse's of locals with sticks and torches keeping an eye out for you Mr Rudd as you attempt to fiddle the net and make petrol more expensive.'

I've spent all day wanting to slap him. And the ABC, for reporting that Kevin Rudd 'lost' the seat *and* that he'd promised to lower petrol prices and grocery prices. WTF? They are uncritically reporting the official opposition line. Kevin Rudd needs to clean out the ABC *now*.
It is annoying to see the national broadcaster do that. He never said he would lower prices. But that he'd try to put downward pressure on prices. Some may argue semantics but still he told the truth on it.
