Beazeley Bombs...
Well here I sit, slowly authoring a post on the Cole Royal Commission, when...***NEWS FLASH***
OPPOSITION Leader Kim Beazley predicted a fiery question time this afternoon as the Government and Labor go head to head over the Cole report into the AWB scandal.
So I got a little excited, and tuned in to watch the house... As most avid house watchers do... Only to well... I have to confess I fell asleep...
Beazley opted to sit his main man, Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd out, this is the man whose popularity has sky rocketed with his ability to consistently question the Government over the Wheat Board scandal. Instead of utilising his best asset in the house (in relation to the AWB scandal) he allows the member for Wills, to jump up and ask pathetic questions about the drinking and celebrating that took place after the report was issued.
Beazely sat Rudd out for one reason... This mornings polls highlight that Rudd has been to good at this job and is now favored by the public to lead the opposition. (Rudd favorable 52% to Beazely 27%). Beazley said in an interview with Sky news at around lunch, said that he is not concerned about a leadership challenge, for he brings experience.
He has shown that experience, keep the shining star out of the spotlight, Rudd can't be favorable if he doesn't get to question the government.
At this exact moment Beazely is raving and ranting in a censure motion against the Prime Minister, it won't pass, but Beazely does get to hear his own voice for twenty odd minutes...
As John Howard just said, this is not surprising...
My advice to the Australian Labor Party, the Federal Opposition... You are failing your constituents, start asking the right questions, not enticing me to sleep in the middle of the afternoon!!!
Oh and Misguided Geri, this is by no means an attempt to influence you, just disappointing times for the camaraderie....
