Learn about federal opposition leader Kevin Rudd. Kevin Rudd is a vocal politician often seen in Brisbane and fighting for Queenslanders. Rudd is the leader of the federal Australian Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition in the Australian Parliament. He has been a member of the Australian House of Representatives since 1998, representing the Division of Griffith, Queensland.

Rudd forgets which country he is in

This is the latest line Rudd is running, via the ABC:

The Opposition says the spending package is badly managed, will push up interest rates and leave the country with too much debt.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has used the Opposition’s stance to again attack Mr Turnbull’s political judgement, accusing him of being at odds with the consensus from the recent G20 finance ministers meeting that spending should continue.

Firstly, Rudd’s package has gone well beyond the G20 consensus in both its size and in the level of waste being incurred. Secondly, the Australian economy is performing completely differently from the rest of the G20 due to international trade. So unless Rudd thinks he is presiding over the socialist mess that is the British economy, then he should wind back the spending.
