Kevvie H descends early into political hypocrisy in local letter


There are so many holes in the argument concerning climate change policy in this 1st May 2010 letter in The Daily Examiner that one has to wonder at the state of the candidate's grey cells.
For starters it would have been more illuminating if Kevin Hogan had actually mentioned the terms "climate change" or "emissions trading" - as it now stands many who don't closely follow the political debate will be left wondering exactly what is supposed to be triggering a double dissolution because the Coalition has given the Rudd Government so many to choose from!
Or was obscure what Hogan aimed for. Had he mentioned those terms readers might've immediately asked themselves; "Hey, didn't the Lib-Nats Coalition block the ETS legislation and don't they hold enough Senate seats to do that again?"
You're not letting Murray Lees ghost write are you Kevvie H?

Big mistake if you are. How many candidates has he failed to get up at Australian federal elections so far?
Or did you just crib from your fearless Coalition leader?

Teh Lettah:
Kevin Rudd's leadership
A FRIEND of mine a number of years ago use to admire two opposing politicians equally, Jeff Kennett and Paul Keating.
While he appreciated they were very different on the policy front, he viewed both men as leaders with conviction.This week has shown our current Prime Minister does not fall into this category.
How can a leader go from believing something is the 'greatest moral challenge of our generation ... and to delay would show cowardice', to six months later doing a back-flip on the issue.Every person in the country is entitled to the answer of this question: Why is he not prepared to go to a double dissolution election on something he supposedly feels so strongly and passionately about?
This, added to the him backing out of the mismanaged home insulation scheme, changing his policy on border control, (till the next election at least), shows the only thing Kevin Rudd seems to believe in, is the latest opinion poll on an issue.
