Has the media and the silly people that believe everything they read gone mad.....
Latham is not well, and his choice about his future is his. He was elected as Labor leader at a time when labor had nothing, the polls were low and no 1 responded to Simon Crean. He put a breath of fresh air into the party. He put pressure on the government to change the crazy amount given to politicans super-annuation, even when Costello and other libs strongly disagreed. He mad the coalition scared, and forced them into scare tatics in order to win the election, and due to the greedy and fearful nature of the country these days it worked.
If he is too unwell to carry out his duties, the party must maintian this pressure on the government that they had before the last election. Kim Beazley's experiance must be put to use, Lathams decision to out him in the defnece role was a positive move and he should be given a minister role, but i don't think it is his turn as leader. It may be same old, same old, with him as leader. Rudd seems to have a strong connection with Asia and foriegn affairs, in our local region. I believe he would make a good leader. He brings an approach that the voters can relate to and seems to have some good ideas reguarding Australias ties and future ties with the Asian nations, which can lead to future free trade deals, and more involvement with APEC.
sounds like the media is just going to keep putting the pressure on a sick man, and the polls will contintue to head south for the labor party. I believe Rudd, but also Kym will have a more important role.
