2013 Federal election - Rudd sets date as 7th September

[Bully]

at least Ruddy didn't lose his seat when he was PM

yeah...... winning back your seat and then basically the next day say I am retiring is much better for sure.....

Well obviously he was hoping he wouldn't lose the election. I've got no problem with him quitting straight away, much better than any perceived or real white-anting that might happen of he stayed on

lol - Ruddys words for sure when he took back the PM from Bill shorten was basically he got back in , knowing and seeing the writing on the walls, to save as many jobs as possible for the labor party.

So he DID know he was going to lose, by how much he didn't know!

Anna Bligh did the same thing ! Must be a labor thing I say...

You made the claim so I wrongly assumed you had some facts to back that up.

You wrongly assume I dont have facts - go and ask your union

I'm more certain now you don't have facts. I'd like to know what you deem 'a fortune' and how that is derived from EBA's.

Isn't that the same comment from the AI Group quoted in two different articles?

How many facts were there in the articles?

Seems like the AI Group are making claims that doesn't make them facts. I'm sure the facts will come out over the course of the Royal Commission.

Agree with all that, but I did say the facts are starting to surface
Obviously I didn't make the entire thing up (which is, I think, what Roxy accused me of) and AI are saying exactly what I did
In this case, the smoke is coming from fire..........
