What can we expect from Kevin Rudd? In his victory speech he emphasised his plan to work with all sections of the community to achieve political outcomes.
Yet we know that he cannot even work with many Labor colleagues in federal parliament including six ministers!
During his earlier stint as Prime Minister he gained a reputation for being dysfunctional,
having an inability to deliver programs and policies and leading a government overcome by paralysis – and those were views of cabinet colleagues.
He is even more of a worry than Gillard.
