Does anyone else think Peter Costello looks like a changed man? The prospect of party leadership must be agreeing with him. This speech'd be the longest speech I've ever heard him give, but he seems confident, in control.
Almost the kind of man you could trust your country with.
Unfortunate ears, though.
ed: oh, fuckery. the perennial bob is back again.
*Sigh* I guess there was never any question, given that he was running against a Jim. No one not named Bob can hold the seat, it is a Law.
ed 2: geez, Peter Costello's giving a rousing speech! a moving speech! who'da thunk it from him?
ed 3: aha, and they cut him off in the middle of it to cut back to lil' Johnny.
ed 4: whatever else you might think about lil' Johnny, he's a damn good politician. This is a bloody excellent farewell speech.
ed 5: my mother really will cry at anything.
ed 6: "public service is the greatest form of service" HAHAH! Howard, Costello, don't share your speechwriters!

Here we go... The Premier of Queensland (?), the woman introducing Rudd, certainly seemed happy.
Whatshername Rudd is doing a shimmy. Oh dear. (Is she prepared to take her workers off AWAs, i wonder?)
lets see the Ruddster go... starting off quiet. Thanking Lil' Johnny. "Public service" again. Ah, wait, here he goes, nice and strong. National pride. Looking to the future.
He's reading his script. Negative points, K-Rudd. Lil' Johnny had his memorised.
It's a good, steady confident speech though. He's got a very rhythmic public speaking voice, the K-Rudd.
Interesting. I will be a Prime Minister for all Australians. I will govern in the national interest. This is a personal speech, not a party one. But we don't vote in a prime minister, here. We vote in a party.
Wait, here it is. "This government that I will lead... will prosecute this agenda". You can't prosecute an agenda, Ruddster. You PROMOTE it, nitwit.

i'm heartily glad to see the coalition gone, and rather pleased to see labour in... but that doesn't mean they're not ALSO a load of unreliable politicians.
