Rudd found it 'too hard' to criticise WorkChoices Minister

ABC News Online.

Federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd says he has quit a regular television appearance because he is good mates with Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey.

What the ..What a dumb message!

Joe must not have the same feelings for Kevin at least not after the PM's office obviously had a yarn with him and suggested he rip into the Opposition Leader on a Sunday current affairs program.

Well, revenge is a dish best served cold...and Joe got summarily left out in the meedya cold..

It was Kev that got a spot on Nine, and not Joe. The poor loser is left holding the bag, campaigning for IR in Kev's electorate of Griffith of all places. Whose brilliant idea was that?

It's a tough choice between which of the two tarts' PR stunt staff takes the award for S. for brains. Kev's staff must still be the favourites in those stakes, their recent form is immaculate. (Could be a dark horse in the stable though: I wonder who pitched to whom to get Kev on Nine)

Irony is, you'd reckon Jelly-Belly Joe would be a dead set certainty for a cooking segment wouldn't you: "Mr Rudd would act as co-host, spending the whole show with Kerri-Anne where he will review movies with Andrew Mercado, cook chocolate with famous chocolatier Max Brenner..."

Then again, the mixed message thing with the anti-obesity campaign would be problematic.

Very good and people worry that politics is being dumbed down
