Good . I hope he chokes on them. Rudd should drop him off the cliff. Apart from being a duplicious two faced traitorous power mad Machiavellian wrecker he spends waaaay to much time visiting the US embassy to take his marching orders to have any thing to do with Australian politics. I'm pleased he did what he did last night though. Now he can just ffffffade away. And hopefully take his other traitorous friends of Washington with him.
A change for the better, it seems to me, from afar. How'd this happen?! I mean, we rarely expect good outcomes in politics, these days! Might this have any effect on how Oz deals with Assange at all. Any other likely practical effects - other than not so supinely taking orders from D.C.?
