The problem with Rudd is he has the grandest intentions, but doesn't follow through, and the actions he takes are ineffective eg fuelwatch, grocerywatch etc

On immigration policy, Howard > Rudd. Howard took a firm stance and stuck by it regardless of public pressure. He kept them out. Rudd not only loosened those laws, but is now making them even tighter than Howard did.

And Rudd ultimately fails as PM with internet censorship.
On immigration policy, neither of them have the right policy. Consider things in CONTEXT of the time u you idiot.

Its not internet censorship you idiot. It's getting rid of child pornography, and a number of SPECIFIC website types. Obviously you must be against that. Sicko.

About censorship.. this point has been made to death on this forum:

The internet filter can only block (censor) websites.
Child porn isn't hosted on websites.
It can't stop or "get rid" of child porn.

You've fallen for Conroy's lie and now support the filter without knowing the facts, congrats.

Justify this. I dare you.
lol are you serious? Name one thing constructive Rudd has done, ie. not symbolism. Even the much revered stimulus package is being uncovered as a massive waste of money. Whatever happened to 'nation building'? Our infrastructure is woefully behind the rest of the OECD and it's hurting our international competitiveness. Too bad we can't do anything about it till 2020 now that we are in monumental debt. Also, continuing to stimulate the economy as interest rates are rising? wtf.
