The new leader of the opposition is Kevin Rudd.
He attacks John Howard from a socially conservative and humane position.
The PM's great talent has been to convincingly portray himself as being right in the mainstream.And now it's coming unstuck.
From today's paper
(Rudd had said that he would enjoy messing with the PM's mind.)
"Informed by a media hack that Rudd had branded him a risk to Australia's national security, Howard reacted as if he had been poked with a very sharp stick. 'Really!" he snorted 'I think he's getting a bit full of himself'.Michael Leunig, Australia's best political cartoonist had this in the cartoon immediately below.
"Kevin Rudd is full of himeself
A Kevin shaped bottle right there on the shelf.
Pull out the cork at a quarter to seven
And fill your glass with absolute Kevin.John Winston Howard is full up as well
But what's in the bottle we really can't tell
Don't pull out the cork 'cause you wouldn't be able
You'll have to believe what it says on the label."
