Kevin Rudd - "I was elected by the people of Australia as Prime Minister of Australia" - The Australian
"I was elected to do a job. I intend to continue doing that job. I intend to continue doing it to the best of my ability." - Obviously another backflip, well may it be his last. For some 11 hours later he was no longer prime minister.
Rudd was wrong and continued to mislead the Australian public - he was elected by the electorate of Griffith (Qld). It just so happens that he was the leader of the party with majority of members in Lower House in our Parliament. It was the Labor Party caucus which voted leader, at the time, to become prime minister. Don't make the mistake that Australians vote who the prime minister will be. Australians don't vote for the national leader. Kevin Rudd was still deluding himself, along with the Australian people, until the very end.
Bit of a shock to see how quickly the end came about but it is welcome. Change in the Labor Party leader but no real change in the crap that they deliver.
