<p>As usual it took him an age to make a decision but PM Turnbull has just announced that he will not back Rudd for job. I doubt the rest of the world realise the enormity of the bullet they just dodged.</p>

It's funny watching the reports of Turnbulls announcement. Everyone just avoiding saying, <br><br>
He's a fucking dick and no way is he representing straya!!

<p>Classic Rudd delusions of grandeur. The lack of an endorsement says more about Rudd than it does Turnbull. He made this bed a long time ago and you must concur with Turnbull that there is a very high probability that he would fall into the same terrible habits he had in parliament. I have no doubt if this was Crean, Beasly, Macklin or even Swann that they would be rubber stamped by Turnbull and the cabinet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even within politics Rudd was such a dirtbag that honour among thieves doesn't apply to him. If I'm Turnbull I counter-offer him an ambassadorship to Syria, and Rudd is probably cocky enough to take it and think he can solve the situation.</p>

KRudd coming out with some "but but but... " statements summing up again why NOBODY wanted him anywhere near the job.<br><br>
A little bit of politicking by Labor about how the Libs shouldn’t exclude him on party lines safe in the knowledge that they would NEVER back him.

<p>Yes! This is the guy you decided wasn't fit to be PM after less than 2 years in the job then absolutely tore to shreds in The Killing Season and similar interviews. Good job guys.</p>
