1. I'll bet Rudd will get an overseas posting

I bet he won't. Boofhead has already said as much. The LNP showed their true colours when they sacked Bracks. There will be no ALP people appointed anywhere, unlike Kevvie when he took over.

I shed no tears over his departure. He should not have been rolled in the first place and should have been allowed to lead the ALP to the 2010 election. However that was not the case and he set about showing what a petty vindictive and egotistical person he is. Politics is a tough game and sometimes things don't go the way one would like. He should have accepted the party's decision and either left politics then or become a genuine team player. But it was all about Kev and his ego. I won't forgive him for his role in undermining the ALP during the 2010 election campaign nor for his constant white anting of the Labor Government under Gillard.

I hold him responsible (along with Murdoch and the MSM) for Tony Abbott becoming PM.
