I can't believe how anyone could turn away people fleeing starvation, war, unlawful prosecution, etc because they would rather play on the fear of an influx and loss of jobs when that would never happen anyway.
And yet he was elected after 3 of those events... Says a lot about how these 'mass protests' represent the public view. And how much of a spineless weasel Krudd is when it comes to tough decisions.

Don't know if you guys watched the SBS doco on the Howard Years tonight, (not to be confused with the ABC documentary titled "the Howard Years" this was called "Liberal Rule") but it struck me just how the public response to Howard's world view for Australia the went so against the publics, compared with Rudd's views and the public acceptance today.
Remember the mass protests against work choices?
Remember the mass protests against voluntary student unionism?
Remember the mass protests against his refusal for reconciliation?
Remember the mass protests against our involvement in Iraq?
(and there's more...)
