Rudd
Mr Rudd has had a surprisingly good start to his term as PM IMO.
The look on peoples faces, as he said sorry to the stolen generation, showed how much it meant to them.
The leadership in wage restraint, in freezing MPs wages, has to be applauded.
Mr Keating also did a lot of good for the country when he first got in: floating the Australian dollar, removing import protection, IR reforms, deregulating the banking industry, etc. Mr Keating ran out of steam about the time when he was going to introduce waterfront reform and a GST. Maybe it is a good thing to regularly change the government and have new drive and vision.
I hope Mr Rudd doesn't get rolled by the union factions calling for above inflation wage rises.
So far, I would have to give Mr Rudd a tick. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
