Warning to all Muslims the world over seeking asylum and protection from the manifestations of their faith.
Do not under any circumstances come to Australia, for we are a Nation founded upon Judeo Christian Law and principles and as such Australia is an anathema to any follower of the Paedophile Slave Trader Mohammad's cult of Islam.
There is no ideology more hated and despised in Australia than Islam.You simply would not like it here.
“ If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
“There may be even a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves” Winston Churchill. Pg.310 “The Hell Makers” John C. Grover ISBN # 0 7316 1918 8

When those sworn to destroy you,Communism, Socialism,"Change you can Believe in" via their rabid salivating Mongrel Dog,Islam,take away your humanity, your God given Sanctity of Life, Created in His Image , If you are lucky this prayer is maybe all you have left, If you believe in God and his Son,Jesus Christ, then you are, despite the evils that may befall you are better off than most.
Lord, I come before You with a heavy heart. I feel so much and yet sometimes I feel nothing at all. I don't know where to turn, who to talk to, or how to deal with the things going on in my life. You see everything, Lord. You know everything, Lord. Yet when I seek you it is so hard to feel You here with me. Lord, help me through this. I don't see any other way to get out of this. There is no light at the end of my tunnel, yet everyone says You can show it to me. Lord, help me find that light. Let it be Your light. Give me someone to help. Let me feel You with me. Lord, let me see what You provide and see an alternative to taking my life. Let me feel Your blessings and comfort. Amen.

"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"
Rudd's quest for "getting the balance right " his and his Labor Party’s "Fresh thinking" has cost Australia's working families dearly.
In 2008 3/4 of the 13,500 illegal entrants Rudd allowed to remain in Australia are on Social Security benefits.
Since 1990 25% of illegal entrants are on Social Security benefits, costing “Australia's working families” $628 Million in extra taxation or reduction of or denile of services that they have paid for via their taxation.
Since Rudd was elected in November 2007 the cost of social security provided to illegal entrants has risen 40%.
One in Five illegal entrants are on disability pensions,costing working families $23 million a year. Added to the above,$21.6 Million was paid to Illegal entrants in "Baby Bonus" payments.
Rudd has made Australia a magnet,a honey pot for illegal,predominantly,Muslim entrants, since his election as Labor Party PM in November 2007.
Rudd and his Union funded Socialist Labor Party call it
"getting the balance right"
Based on the manifestations of his Party's policies since they attained government in November 2007, Mr Rudd and his Labor Party clearly felt that there were not enough Muslims on social security in Australia, aka. Labor voters.
"Getting the balance right" was a Rudd Labor Party Kevin "I have never been a socialist" 07 Rudd election PROMISE, along with "Fresh Thinking" and "Working Families" it was the most often repeated bumper sticker / slogan enunciated during the campaign,by Labor and their MSM sycophants, as opposed to POLICY,and in place of coming clean with Labor's much cultivated and mined "Working Families" .... getting the balance right?
"yes Dear Leader I will work harder....." and I am very sorry for what ever you say I should be sorry for.
RED-hot one-armed surfer Bethany Hamilton was cooling her heels in Sydney yesterday as she waited to compete in her final tournament before filming starts on her remarkable tale of survival.
The 19-year-old from Hawaii shot to fame as the 13-year-old who managed to make it to shore after a tiger shark tore off her left arm while she was surfing her local break.
Hamilton has revealed that rising Hollywood star Anna Sophia Robb will play her in the film which traces the horrific attack and her brave journey back to the beach.
Speaking yesterday on a lay day at Sydney's North Narrabeen beach - where she is a front-running contender at the Billabong world junior surfing championships - Hamilton said the film would begin production towards the end of January and she would be doing most of the surfing and other stunts in place of Robb.
Titled Soul Surfer the film takes its inspiration from Hamilton's biography of the same name, telling a story more akin to Jaws.
Hamilton was 13 when, while surfing with her best friend Alana Blanchard on October 21, 2003, a 5m tiger shark ripped her left arm off just below her shoulder.
Incredibly, just three weeks later Hamilton was back on her board surfing at her home break at Kauai, Hawaii. Already a pro surfer, with a second place at the Billabong tournament last year, Hamilton is excited about working with a Hollywood star.
"She's super cool. A great girl," Hamilton said of Robb. "We've met in Hawaii and hung out."
For post-attack scenes in which a one-armed stunt woman was needed, Hamilton stepped up.
"They wanted a one-armed person doing it and that's not easy to find," Hamilton said.
"I'm excited about the role. But it will be intense seeing people playing my family and me."
Lorraine Nicholson, the teenage daughter of Jack Nicholson, will play Blanchard in the movie while Sean Brosnan, actor Pierce Brosnan's son, will play brother Noah Hamilton.
Hamilton said she hopes the movie - due out in October - will inspire viewers to overcome hardships encountered in life.
I remember when this brave, then,little girl,was attacked,it was horrific to say the least, she must have tremendous courage, good luck to her I hope she receives all the blessings she deserves.
An Emirati court has acquitted the President's brother of charges of torturing an Afghan but convicted five co-defendants, including two Americans, his lawyer said.
The court in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) acquitted Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahayan "after establishing he was not responsible" for the torture of the Afghan merchant in 2004, lawyer Habib al-Mulla said.
"The court accepted our defence that the sheikh was under the influence of drugs [medicine] that left him unaware of his actions", the lawyer said.
Watch the poor Sheikh in action, poor bastard who could do such a thing to a member of the Religion of Peace, Most Pious Mass Murderers and Head Hunters Guild?
However, the court in the oasis city of Al-Ain ordered two co-defendants to pay a "temporary compensation" of 10,000 dirhams ($3000) to the Afghan, who can file a new lawsuit to claim full compensation, the lawyer said.
The two US defendants of Lebanese origin, brothers Ghassan and Bassam Nabulsi, were sentenced to five years in jail each in absentia for having drugged the sheikh.
The lawyer said the Afghan victim had demanded compensation from the brothers rather than from Sheikh Issa.
Bassam Nabulsi reportedly leaked a video which exposed the case.
The court also sentenced three other workers at the farm where the torture took place to between one and three years in jail for drugging the sheikh, likewise in absentia, Mulla said. A guard at the farm was acquitted.
Mulla said Sheikh Issa, 40, who has been in detention for the past seven months, would be released.
However, the verdict is not final as it will have to be reviewed by a higher court if the public prosecution decides to challenge the ruling.
Sheikh Issa, who is the brother of UAE President and oil-rich Abu Dhabi's ruler, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, pleaded not guilty at a hearing last month.
The lawyer told the hearing in December the sheikh had been drugged against his will during the incident and had no recollection of what had happened.
"We submitted medical reports showing that the drugs that the two co-defendants administered to him left him unaware of his actions," the lawyer said on December 15.
Allegations against the sheikh emerged after the video, aired in April, appeared to show him beating a man with whips, electric cattle prods and a wooden plank with protruding nails.
Assisted by police, Sheikh Issa is seen to pour salt in the man's wounds and run over him with a four-wheel drive.
The victim needed months of hospital care following the incident. He was reportedly an Afghan trader who lost a consignment of grain worth $US5000 ($5450).
In a rare trial of a high-ranking member of the ruling family, Sheikh Issa was charged at an opening hearing last October with endangering life, causing bodily harm and with rape for the incident.
The lawyer told the court that one of the sheikh's co-defendants was responsible for Sheikh Issa's medications and had drugged him, then videotaped the incident and tried to blackmail him.
TWO more Malaysian churches were targeted by arsonists today police and church officials said, as a row escalated over the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims.
The latest attacks in Taiping, in the northern Perak state, brought the total number to six since Friday but there were no reports of injuries, according to state police chief Zulkifli Abdullah.
He said a Molotov cocktail was thrown at All Saints Church early in the morning before worshippers attended their Sunday service while church officials found a bottle of kerosene in another church.
"There were black marks on the wall (at All Saints). We believed there was a small fire earlier but there was no damage as the wall was intact," Zulkifli said.
He said a bottle of kerosene was thrown into St Louis Catholic Church but added that the building wasn't damaged.
Four churches in the Kuala Lumpur area have been hit by firebombs since Friday, leaving one badly damaged with its ground floor gutted, and prompting Prime Minister Najib Razak to promise to crack down on race crime.
Hermen Shastri, secretary-general of the Council of Churches, said officials had stepped up security in the wake of the fresh attacks.
"The attacks show they are more just a prank as it does not appear to be a major (attack), someone is trying to send a signal that they are unhappy," he said.
Religious tensions were heightened in Muslim-majority Malaysia last week when a court ruled in favour of the Herald Catholic newspaper in its dispute with the government over the publication's use of the word "Allah".
Enraged by the ruling, Muslim groups held protests outside 10 mosques across the nation on Friday.
The row is among a string of religious disputes that have erupted in recent years, straining relations between Malays and ethnic Chinese and Indians who fear the country is being "Islamised".
About 10 per cent of Malaysians are Christians, including some 850,000 Catholics.
For the life of me why would any Non Muslim Religion want to use the term allah to name their Deity? a more repugnant insulting name could not be found if they tried.
allah the Moon God,the slave traders God, the Head Hunters God, allah the Islamic Pimp for his mass murdering suicide bombing cowards, why oh why would any Non Muslim Religion use the most derogatory name imaginable to describe their God?
SPORTS Minister Kate Ellis spent an active weekend at Bondi Beach with a mystery man, sharing a beachside apartment, cliff walks and breakfast together.
Ms Ellis, on her first day of holidays, helped her companion apply sunblock to hard-to-reach places before enjoying a glass of wine over lunch at Ravesi's.
She told The Sunday Telegraph her companion, a tall Irishman called Niall Collins, was "just a friend".
Ms Ellis's weekend in the sun comes on the eve of comments that she is "happily single" but that the romantic in her believes she'll find a match one day.
"I think everybody hopes they'll meet 'the one', but I'm really happy," she says in an interview with Women's Health magazine, published tomorrow.
"I'm not out there trawling nightclubs looking for Mr Right.
"Sometimes I feel incredibly confident when I'm single.
"When you're completely self-reliant, that can be empowering."
Questioned about her relationship with Mr Collins, Ms Ellis smiled but gave nothing away. "We're just friends, that's all," she said.
Looking relaxed, the South Australian MP traded her political power suit for a green bikini, sunglasses and Haviana thongs.
She and Mr Collins breakfasted at the Sahnia Cafe, in Campbell Parade, but it appeared work wasn't far from Ms Ellis's mind as she checked her BlackBerry several times.
From there, it was on to the Bondi-to-Bronte walk, and the two spent the afternoon cruising Bondi's boutiques and cafes.
In the Women's Health interview, Ms Ellis says that, like any woman, she has issues about her appearance.
"Everyone has fat or ugly days, and I'm certainly no different in that regard.
"But it has to come back to the fact that it's not the most significant thing. My appearance isn't the top of the list; it's not what makes me feel good about who I am."
"Everyone has fat or ugly days, and I'm certainly no different in that regard.
"But it has to come back to the fact that it's not the most significant thing. My appearance isn't the top of the list; it's not what makes me feel good about who I am."
Based on the photograph above,just as well Madame Kate, other wise you would definitely not be feeling good about who you are, maybe the two of you (and Irishman Niall for that matter)should do a bit more walking,less talking and eating.
THE modern slave ship is a Boeing or an Airbus. Some weeks ago, long after midnight at Singapore airport's Terminal 3, I witnessed a grim procession. There were at least 250 Indonesian women, all wearing headscarves, queuing in a long, neat double row to join a Qatar Airways flight to Doha, in the Middle East.
There was no excitement in the faces of these travellers.
I asked one of the women what was going on. She said they were bound for Saudi Arabia to work on two-year stints as housemaids and cleaners.
Australia has fly-in, fly-out workers, who head to mine sites for two-week stints. Soldiers are posted overseas for six months. Anyone who's done this work, or knows someone who has, will have heard that it's hell on families. It's a sacrifice, it can be risky, but the money's good. What about going away for two years, on bad money?
My guess is most of these women had children. My guess is their husbands, or families, ordered them to go.
Australia worries about the depth of Indonesia's commitment in preventing asylum seekers moving down to Australia. Within Indonesia is growing concern that the Government is turning a blind eye as its own people are shipped, in huge numbers, into bondage.
It is true that Indonesia last year barred migrant workers from going to Malaysia and then Kuwait. Cases of Indonesian migrant housemaids being brutalised, raped or killed by their foreign masters had become so frequently reported and embarrassing that something had to be done.
Indonesia is now in talks with both countries to lift the bans. It needs to because unskilled workers send so much money home into the economy. More than six million Indonesians are working abroad. Most of them are women. Most are in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.
The US State Department last year described Indonesia as "a major source of women, children and men trafficked for the purposes of forced labour and commercial sexual exploitation".
It also reported on a trade within Indonesia of recruiting women and girls into sex slavery. The State Department cited cases of girls shipped to the Papua province on the promise of waitress work but forced into prostitution. In 2009, underage girls were rescued from illegal logging camps in West Kalimantan where they were working as prostitutes.
The US is much more courageous than Australia in taking on such matters. This damning information appeared on the US Embassy's Indonesian website in June. It accused Indonesian immigration officials of taking bribes to allow large numbers of women to pass out of Jakarta without the proper paperwork.
It complained that police and military were "directly involved in the operation of brothels and fronts for prostitution, including establishments that exploited child sex trafficking victims".
Soon after this report was released, the Indonesian embassy in Kuwait was overflowing as more than 600 migrant women workers sought protection.
These women had not arrived at the embassy as an organised group of protesters. They had turned up seeking sanctuary as individuals, or in small bands, complaining of physical and sexual abuse, or of non-payment of wages or being denied entitlements.
They were repatriated as spare seats became available on Garuda flights.
The agents who recruit migrant workers are in a more lucrative game than the people smugglers shifting Afghans and Iraqis on boats to Australia.
They make money by charging job-placement commission fees of up to $US3000 ($3300) and pay the airfares, which the workers must pay back. They call this debt bondage. Some are sent directly into sex work, others by a more subtle process, working as housemaids but also forced to provide sexual services to their employers. Because they are often illegal workers, they have no redress against exploitation. Most are not raped or prostituted. The abuse is more insidious. No days off, no calls home.
Does any of this matter to Australia? If we are to be a good neighbour, it does.
The current - and long-standing - Australian diplomatic approach to Indonesia (the 1999 East Timor liberation aside) is to offer no public condemnation but to throw money at whatever the problem might be.
But sometimes a stern public word goes a long way.
It turns out that Australia has an ambassador for people smuggling and people-trafficking issues. His name is Peter Woolcott. He was appointed by the Rudd Government in June. He hasn't had much if anything to say on migrant worker enslavement so far.
If an ambassador's skill is to smooth things over, that skill should extend to smoothing things over after he himself has handed out a clubbing.
That Indonesia did not charter flights to extricate its workers from Kuwait, instead making room as seats became available on commercial flights, shows a lack of regard for its own citizens.
Australia knew about it. We should have condemned it. Numbers of female migrants working across Asia will only grow. The problem needs attention.
On December 29, Simon Crean, acting as Foreign Affairs Minister while Stephen Smith took holidays, issued a press release expressing deep concern on the deportation of Hmong refugees back to Laos from a refugee camp in Thailand.
Thailand and Laos are a long way away. Australia never dares make such strong statements in relation to Indonesia. Yet close media readers will note how often Indonesian officials slam us. We should slam them.
It need not get too willing, but too often our soft-shoed approach is based on consideration of their culture. We have a culture, too. True friendship is based on only one thing: Truly understanding each other.
The UK's big freeze has stopped services such as these river canal boats Source: Getty Images
WITH temperatures in the some parts of UK only marginally higher than those at the South Pole, many businesses have had their gas turned off and their daily operations severely disrupted.
UK energy operator the National Grid began rationing gas yeserday in central and northwest England.
By today, nearly 100 businesses had been cut off entirely.
Demand for natural gas has been 28 per cent higher than usual and is projected to increase for the duration of the chill.
National meteorologists predicted yesterday there would be at least another 10 days of freezing temperatures across the country.
Gas suppliers said that while demand is exceptionally high, reserves allotted to private citizens are not in danger of running out.
Residents of the Welsh capital Cardiff went several hours without water today after the city's water supply froze and could not be accessed until it thawed.
Dairy farmers were forced to throw away dozens of tons of milk when the frozen liquid became too heavy to deliver, which limited supermarket supplies at a time when citizens were stocking up on essentials.
The government and Britain's largest salt mine began drawing up rationing strategies as the country's salt supply became dangerously low, causing local government concern about how to keep roads clear.
One local council said today it only had enough salt for one more round of road clearing.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled over the course of the week and many train lines were severely delayed, if operating at all.
Stand easy good citizens of England for their is a remedy for this cold weather,it’s called a TAX, a TAX on everything you do (and perhaps say or think) This TAX is called an Emissions Trading Tax in Australia, a Tax that will ensure your Socialist Green masters will be able to decide what the temperature will be in the year 2050……… Fuc***g Good Ay… ?
In Australia this TAX will only add another three to four thousand dollars a year to the out goings of the average Australian family.
The TAX will be donated to China, India, Venezuala ,Russia, Zimbabwe, South America and various Middle Eastern and African dictatorships,this will then enable these counties to control the temperature of the Earth.
POLICE have released still images of two males who may be able to assist with inquiries into the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl on Christmas Eve.
About 1.00pm, the two males befriended the 17-year-old girl at Parramatta Railway Station. The girl went with the males to a nearby shopping centre where she was taken to a fire stairwell in a car park on level 7.
The girl has told police the males then forced her to the ground and sexually assaulted her. The males ran from the scene with the girl attending a nearby store where she reported the incident.
Police have released images of two males who may be able to assist them with inquiries into the matter.
The males are both described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, and aged in their late mid to late teens.
Anyone with information on the identity of the males are urged to contact Parramatta Detectives on (02) 9633 0727 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Another Golden thread woven into Australia’s “Rich Tapestry” of Multiculturalism and “Cultural Diversity” by the usual suspects.
“…..the two males befriended the 17-year-old girl at Parramatta Railway Station.”
"There's no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend, so a non-Muslim could be your associate but they can't be a friend. They're not your friend because they don't understand your religious principles and they cannot because they don't understand your faith."
When will non Muslim women in Australia get it through their thick skulls that in the Islamic Religion you are nothing more than an “Aussie Slut” “Skip Slut” “Aussie Pig” who is there for the taking by “the brave son’s of allah” the Moon God,aka.The Great Satan?
TWO youths have been arrested following the sexual assault of a teenage girl at a western Sydney shopping centre on Christmas Eve.
The pair allegedly forced the 17-year-old girl to the ground in a car park stairwell at a Parramatta shopping centre, and sexually assaulted her.
After police released images of two youths they wanted to speak with, two boys aged 15 and 17 surrendered themselves to officers at Fairfield Police Station about 5pm (AEDT) on Friday, police said.
They were questioned by detectives about the alleged sexual assault at the Parramatta shopping centre and later arrested.
A BRITISH woman on holiday in Dubai reportedly went to police after being raped - but was arrested for having llegal sex.
The 23-year-old Londoner says she was attacked by a waiter in a hotel toilet after celebrating her engagement to her boyfriend,
The Sun reports
But after she admitted drinking alcohol and sharing a hotel room with her fiancé, police in the strict Islamic state arrested her for "illegal drinking" outside licensed premises and having sex outside marriage. Her 44-year-old
fiancé, also from London, was charged with the same offences. And both were thrown in police cells by officers who paid little heed to the rape.
The devastated couple are understood to be on bail awaiting trial and have had their passports confiscated. They could be jailed for up to six years if found guilty of the illicit sex charge.
British embassy officials in the desert emirate are helping them.
A diplomatic source said: "There have been some truly appalling injustices in Dubai but this one tops the lot.
"A desperate, distressed rape victim went with her boyfriend to report the attack to police. And both wound up behind bars.
"The police and authorities in Dubai have shamed themselves by yet again displaying a breathtaking lack of compassion and humanity."
The ordeal of the rape victim, a Muslim of Pakistani descent, began after she joyfully accepted a marriage proposal from her boyfriend during a three-day New Year break. She admitted drinking too much as they celebrated at Dubai
Marina's luxurious Address Hotel - and passed out in a ladies' toilet. The waiter is said to have followed her into the toilets and raped her while she was semi-conscious.
Her fiancé was initially unaware of the attack and helped her to their room, where they slept until the next day. But the horror of the rape came back to her when she woke - and the pair went to Jebel Ali police station to report it.
Her attacker, who is understood to be Syrian, is believed to have denied rape. He claimed the Briton consented but has also been charged with "illegal sex".
A spokesman for the Address Hotel said: "The matter is being investigated by the authorities."
An Iraqi immigrant accused of killing his 20-year-old daughter in the US because he believed she had become too westernised doesn't understand court proceedings and may need a mental-health evaluation, says his lawyer.
The lawyer, Billy Little, said he first met 49-year-old Faleh Hassan Almaleki in Phoenix on Tuesday, and the immigrant did not understand the role of his lawyer, the judge or a grand jury.
"He just doesn't have a clue as to what's going on," Little told The Associated Press. "I can't determine if it's language, cultural or a mental-health issue."
A mental-health expert typically evaluates a defendant's competency to stand trial in such cases, Little said.
If the lack of comprehension has to do with language or culture, Almaleki may just need to be taught about the American justice system in his native Arabic.
Authorities say Almaleki ran down his daughter and another woman with his Jeep on October 20 as they were walking across a parking lot in the Phoenix suburb of Peoria.
Family members told police that Almaleki attacked his daughter because she was not living according to his traditional Iraqi values.
Noor Faleh Almaleki died on November 2. The other woman, Amal Khalaf, survived; she is the mother of Noor's boyfriend.
Almaleki was in court on Wednesday in a black-and-white jail uniform and said only his name and birthday when prompted by the judge. His next scheduled court date is February 8.
Almaleki had a different attorney from the Maricopa County public defender's office until Tuesday, when Little took over.
Little is on the office's capital case team, and although prosecutors haven't decided whether to seek the death penalty against Almaleki, Little said his office believes it's likely, so he needs to begin defending the case now.
Mike Scerbo, spokesman for County Attorney Andrew Thomas, declined to comment on the case beyond an earlier statement.
"We will fully prosecute this tragic case of alleged homicide and domestic violence," Thomas said at the time.
Several court appearances had to be cancelled after Almaleki was put on suicide watch, but Little said that has no longer been an issue.
Almaleki is charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault and leaving the scene of a serious injury accident.
Almaleki and his family moved to the US in the mid-1990s and lived in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale.
Friends said Noor simply wanted to be a normal American woman, and that she was never disrespectful to her father, just independent.
Friends said Almaleki forced Noor to quit her job at a fast-food restaurant, and in 2008, he took her to Iraq under the guise of visiting family. Actually, he had picked out a husband for her and told her she couldn't return to Arizona unless she married him.
Noor married the man and returned, and friends said her husband was in the process of trying to move to the U.S.
But Noor fell in love with another man, they said, and she was living in his home with his mother when she was killed.
Gee whoda thought something like this could happen, it is a Religion of Peace after all and Hussein Obama demands we respect it there must be some misunderstanding.
KFC head office in the United States has pulled a controversial Australian commercial which sparked furious debate in America about whether it was racist.
The commercial, featuring a white Australian cricket fan offering fried chicken to West Indies supporters, has been pulled from the air in Australia.
"KFC Australia is removing the television advertisement that was being run in conjunction with the Australian cricket season,'' the chicken fast food giant announced in a statement.
"We apologise for any misinterpretation of the ad as it was not meant to offend anyone.''
The Australian TV commercial was picked up by the US media, including the New York Daily News and Baltimore Sun, and drew heated debate, with some Americans accusing Australians of being racist because it perpetuates a stereotype that African Americans eat a lot of fried chicken.
The ad is one in a series where a cricket lover quietens people around him by giving them KFC to eat so he can enjoy the game.
The New York Daily News staged a poll on its website asking if the ad was offensive.
The vote was almost split, with 51 per choosing "No, it's just light-hearted and fun'' while 42 per cent selected "Yes, it plays on stereotypes''.
Six per cent voted "I'm not sure''.
Readers inundated the newspaper websites with emotional posts.
"This was blatantly racist,'' one reader commented on the NY Daily News website.
Another wrote: "Yeah, coming from the same people who almost singlehandedly wiped out the whole race of aborogines (sic). You people are the worst. I've had friends who visited Australia and they told me how it is over there''.
“You people are the worst…..” ? you people ?
Oh pray tell enlightened one,please tell us all just how it is “over there” so we all may be so much better informed.
Australians, upset at the American response, bombarded US news websites and blogs to defend the ad and attempt to explain Australian humour.
"Oh dear,'' an Australian wrote on the Baltimore Sun site.
"Another shining example of how some Americans can be absolutely clueless about anything further away than the tip of their own nose.''
The furore began in the US after the ad was posted on YouTube, attracting thousands of comments and sparking members of the public to post their own video responses.
Meanwhile, acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard didn't weigh into the debate, but she did admit to eating KFC.
She had seen the KFC logo emblazoned on cricketers' uniforms.
"I'm someone who's eaten the occasional bit of KFC, but I can't say that I'm an expert in their current advertising strategy,'' Ms Gillard told reporters in Adelaide on Thursday.
"My general world outlook is to take things on the lighter side, but I'm not in a position to give a specific comment about that ad.''
The professional “feel my pain” and their partners in the guilt and permanently offended industry “I feel your pain” arse clowns, have not had much to do lately.
I say that because how else could they stick their goose necks out so far and beat up a “white racist’s are making us feel bad about ourselves again” bull shit issue like this ?
The facts are KFC is a major sponsor of the sport of Cricket in Australia,the West Indian cricket team comes here to play against Australia and other countries in a series of “Tests” and other formats during the Australian summer and have done so for many many years.
They are famous for their loyal and exuberant supporters who follow them not only to Australia but all over the world to watch and support their beloved Cricket team wherever they may be playing.
The professional “feel my pain” “I feel your pain” industry, arse clowns have obviously never attended a game of cricket between the West Indian team and Australia or any other team for that matter, for if they had they would have, hopefully, realised that there was no subtext, no hidden racist agenda, no slur against “Black Fella’s” intrinsically woven into the message of the ad, but rather an Australian cricket team supporter who found himself surrounded by the West Indian cheer squad at the Sydney Cricket Ground when their team was clearly getting the better of the Australian team.
For the professional “feel my pain” “I feel your pain” industry, arse clowns, to imply that these West Indian supporters were somehow getting out of control, as opposed to doing what they generally do when their team is getting the upper hand or wins,and had to be calmed down with Fried Chicken,is a position that only those looking for yet another “oppressed Black Fella’s” and their mindsets facilitators pity party.
Would the same “feel my pain” “I feel your pain” industry,have been so offended had the ad featured a lone West Indian supporter surrounded by exuberant Australian supporters and started handing out Meat Pies of Fosters Beer in the spirit of good will and sharing of the human spirit as did the Australian supporter aka.“You people…” depicted in the ad?
You can be a member of the Negroid race and not be an American,just as you can be a member of the Caucasian race and not be an American.
Australia has enough racially motivated bigots in the Lefts Multicultural Industry to divide,label and name call those who identify as un hyphenated Australian’s without their leftist cousins in the USA attempting to do their dirty work for them, Australia has it’s own taxpayer funded fifth column busily working away 24/7 365 doing whatever it can whenever it can to drive us back to their very own “year zero” so that they can remake us in their image.

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has written a children's book.
Described by his staff as "more secretive than the Budget", the kiddies' adventure story about the PM's cat and dog will be published this month.
Part of “Team Rudd’s” bed time story tellers,(l to r) Liar for Hire,Al Gore,Deputy PM,Madame Julia Gillard,Token Green Loon,Peter Garrett,Minister for the weather aka.Climate Change and token Asian Lesbian,Madame Wong and Australia’s Dear Leader,Comrade Kevin 07 Rudd.
A year after being both praised and panned for penning a 10,000-word essay on the decline of capitalism in the wake of the global financial crisis, Mr Rudd has decided to aim for a younger, possibly less critical, market.
Titled Jasper and Abby and the Great Australia Day Kerfuffle,the book follows dog Abby and cat Jasper in an adventure in the grounds of Kirribilli House.
Known for his great love of his animals, Mr Rudd yesterday revealed his plans to go into print for charity, co-authoring a children's book with former Play School presenter and actor Rhys Muldoon.
"I've worked on the text with Rhys and we've both interviewed the cat and the dog. They have been very co-operative in their responses but, for most of the time, have gone off the record," he said.
"It has not been the most demanding text I have worked on."
Without revealing the plot, The Sunday Telegraph understands Jasper's high-maintenance character plays a significant role.
Australia’s Dear Leader ,Comrade Rudd,has finally found an audience he feels understands him.
Australian’s make their feelings known with letters to the Daily Telegraph see below.
Remember the MSM Opinion Polls tell us that Rudd will walk in at the next federal election,to be held sometime in late 2010.
Thanks for voting! Would you read Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's children's book?
* Yes 15.57% (285 votes) * No 84.43% (1546 votes)
Total votes: 1831

One would think his time would be better spent trying to run this country when he is here of course. Instead of writing fairy tales. Then again I think he thinks he lives in fairy land. but on the other hand he got his mug in the papers yet again
Comment 1 of 135 # Harry of InSuburbanSydney Posted at 12:42 AM Today
LOLOLOL.....KRudd may have found his true calling, writing fiction for kiddies based on his parlimentary career. Soooo precious. lololol
Comment 2 of 135 # mareeS of nsw Posted at 12:46 AM Today
Oh, come on Kevin. As if it isn't awful enough to see you every second day sitting on a kindy chair pretending to read to kindy kids for the news cameras, now you have pretended (with a co-author)to write a book about your pets for those same kindy kids. (The way you were holding that cat wasn't a good look, btw. Puss seemed desperate to get away, and your smile suggests the claws were dug into somewhere painful in your lap.)
Comment 3 of 135 # pete Posted at 12:58 AM Today
Must be losing popularity with mums, so he gets someone else to write a book for him that he can plug on sunrise. any danger of getting on with solving real problems? We dont need a sensitive new age dork, we need a prime minister with balls.
Comment 4 of 135 # bruce Posted at 12:59 AM Today
just what australia needs a pm who is writing kids books. what next a spot on the wiggles?
Comment 5 of 135 # RJB of my desk Posted at 1:06 AM Today
I can understand Rudd writing childrens' fictional tales, his statements and policies are without doubt, inspired by Hanns Christian Anderson,
Comment 6 of 135 # Mick of NW Sydney Posted at 1:11 AM Today
Now it makes sense...Rudd's address on behalf of Australia to the world and its leaders at Copenhagen, where he quoted letters from Australian children, on his mantra that climate change was the most important issue facing us and our children...was that speech a publicity stunt?, pre book tour marketing for his target demographic?, or prepping his image prior to this book release? Recently, didn't the PM fail to attend a meeting on free trade / book tariffs, with the official reason given that his daughter was writing a book and it would be a conflict of interest in attending / involvement? So was the 'official' story the truth or was it really that Rudd knew his book would be coming out shortly - in which case another little lie - like the three accounts that dribbled out over the Brian Bourke affair in early 2007 - with each account being the 'full story' upon issue. Good to see the ALP tradition of close liaison with celebrities from the arts community as we enter a election year (but no Cate in recent times?) and obviously when Rudd goes on about working harder than ever, due to the numerous 'crises' we have, we have a better idea about what he has spent some time on.
Comment 7 of 135 # Tony of Tamworth Posted at 1:15 AM Today
So the kids of Oz get used to fairy tales by K Rudd, and when they are 16 or 18 they follow through and vote for his fairy land visions! Gimme a break!

I don't think much of him as the prime minister. I know why now, cause he is a childrens book author.

kids heres a story of the prime minister of Australia elected on a he promises that he wouldn't fail ya He Put in charge a spineless git called Garret who has lets the blood flow from whales like spilt claret. he said u can kill all the whales thats is fine by us as long as a Toyota builds a car in Australia that totally sucks who cares its a jap car and not Aussie one like holden anyway because sushi made out of sperm whale Kev likes to eat every day If Kev don't get his endangered whale stake on the plane what happens next we will let the air hostess explain Now Kev is good mates with A minister called Stephen who blocked the net for his christens mates to save us hevins Because apparently we need a highly secret block list because we cant be trusted to look after our kids Kev spends so much time last year on a plane he didn't have the balls to explain How he F**** up the country so badly for a reason His only quote was Ho Ho Ho its the Holiday season ***** you all Australia heheheheh Luv Kev
Comment 15 of 135 # Robert Scott of Sydney Posted at 2:21 AM Today
Well, if there is one thing Rudd should be tops at it's telling fairytales. His imagination and story telling have far out paced his real achievements since he became Prime Minister. I can hardly wait for the book where the big, mean, power hungry king of the north destroys a country for his own ego. Maybe he should get into poetry - something like, "My name is Kevin and I like to tax and if your not careful I have the shirt off your backs'.
Comment 16 of 135 # Casandra Posted at 2:38 AM Today
Pity he didn't spend more time running the country than writing a book. Gee he is so up himself.
Comment 17 of 135 # AxelVK of Sydney Posted at 3:46 AM Today
Hopefully, Krudd has found a new career instead of trying to be Prime Minister of the world while acting AGAINST the interests of Australia.
Comment 18 of 135 # fxrpete of Thornton Posted at 4:30 AM Today
This will appeal to the simple minds that vote for this master of spin and broken promises. Further disgrace and embarrassment for Australia.How many chapters did he get written when he was sent back to his closet by the Worlds leaders in Copenhagen?
Comment 19 of 135 # Torpedo 1 of East Coast Posted at 4:36 AM Today
You have to be kidding. This explains Mr Rudd's view of Australians in general - kiddies who will believe any fairytale story. To think some great, and some not so great politicians have written in-depth, although ballast heavy, autobiography's. And what do we see from Super K - a story about a dog and a pussy. What's it going to be called, this inspiring work of fiction, '2010 Labor Policy'.
Comment 20 of 135 # Daniel of Melbourne Posted at 4:46 AM Today
One word.Pathetic.
Comment 21 of 135 # don campbell of port macquarie Posted at 5:19 AM Today
Another gimmick and photo opportunity by Kevin Rudd. It is a shame he doesn't put the same effort into providing good government for the people of Australia as he does in getting his photo in the media. Never in the countrys history have we had a prime minister who has delivered so little yet manages to use the media in such a high profile manner. Everthing this PM does is all about self promotion, lacks substance and is all spin and designed to raise his personal public profile. This PM has an addiction for receiving publicity and photo opportunities. After two years his albumn must full and it is time to deliver for the people of Australia on the numerous broken and yet to be delivered promised made during the 2007 election campaign.
Comment 22 of 135 # ms of oz Posted at 5:48 AM Today
I'd just like to know where he found the time to write the book. He should write a story about a family who lost their house and had to live in the back of their car which they couldn't afford to register.
Comment 23 of 135 # tracey Posted at 5:50 AM Today
Well now we know what he's going to do once his tossed out of government.

Comment 25 of 135 # Rob Posted at 6:13 AM Today
How did he have time to write this drivel?. Is it a Rhys Muldoon story with KRudds name tacked on for the publicity? If KRudd wrote it then how much of his staff's time (which the taxpayer pays for) was spent writing and printing it? Yep, still pointless drivel.
Comment 26 of 135 # James of Sydney Posted at 6:40 AM Today
Am I paying this guy to run the country or write a children's book?? Don't give me the "it's in my spare time" garbage. If you have that type of spare time you should focusing it on maybe some "minor country issues" such as health, crime and immigration.

So that's what he does on the jets as he flits off to save the day ...er I mean to save the World. For a minute I thought this was an April fool's joke, but since it isn't April I guess it must be serious. Perhaps Mr Rudd should write books for a living because I don't think he knows how to be a grown up PM.

Comment 33 of 135 # Peter B of Coffs Harbour Posted at 7:09 AM Today
With tarveling around the world making a fool of himself and embarresing all of Australia and writing childrens books it's no wonder the Nation is spiraling out of control. Another week ANOTHER 100 milion dollars in debt. So what are the interest payments alone on 200 billion dollars ? Is it really 15 billion dollars per year ?
Comment 34 of 135 # Peter B of Coffs Harbour Posted at 7:10 AM Today
Is this story some sort of joke ?
Comment 35 of 135 # Barry Posted at 7:22 AM Today
whilst i strongly believe in children reading books and encouraging authors of childrens books,is Mr Rudd mad or going mad?He elads a government whch has not delivered on a single election promise tried to inflict a whole new tax on Australians without even detailing how it would work or what it wold cost,is hardly ever in the country and is incapable of making a single policy decision and he is now turning his attention to co authoring a childrens book.I am sorry but those of you who voted for this man as PM and Labor have been cheated and lied to by him and his great expectations of hope.Now its a kids book about a dog and cat,wonder if he says sorry to them in it?
Comment 36 of 135 # Marisa Grace of Strathfield Posted at 7:25 AM Today
Seriously, what the hell is this?!! Someone should tell Rudd that PM stands for "Prime Minister", not "Popular Man." I am tired of soft media reports on this idiot. His PR machine is desperate to hide Rudd's failures. Perhaps he should write a children's book that begins with "Once upon a time, far far away in a place called Copenhagen...." Now what a fairy tale that would be.
Comment 37 of 135 # Nickylou of Port Stephens Posted at 7:40 AM Today
Good to see KRudd doing something for charity, it isn't like he is over extending himself like Tony Abbott's charity bike rides, but it is better than nothing I suppose.
Comment 38 of 135 # Ollie Posted at 7:48 AM Today
Sorry Kev, ol' mate, ol' buddy, ol' cobber, ol' pal, this is NOT going to do it for you. There's an old saying, "When people show you who they REALLY are, believe them". I believe you "mate". Appealing to our kids with what a kind, friendly, thoughtful fellow you are, isn't going to make all the rest go away. Anyhow, five year olds don't get to vote - I DO, and unlike most Labor/Socialists with the attention-span of children, I know who and what you are. A cynical grab for the warm and fuzzies won't do it for you - "pal".
Comment 39 of 135 # Boadica of Queensland Posted at 7:51 AM Today
What next - I can't believe Rudd has now stooped to using his dog and cat to further his career. I would have thought that he would have enough to do. I also believe Rhys Muldoon probably wrote the thing but of course due to Rudd form he will take the kudos. I wouldn't let my kids near anything written by Rudd. I suppose when you are such a boring character you are left with only your dog and cat (probably yawning) to talk to !!! Boadica

Comment 43 of 135 # Emu Posted at 8:04 AM Today
What a fantastic initiative Mr. Rudd, and for charity too. I can't wait to see the story-line. Is the pussy's litter tray full of shredded paper? Does the pussy and the doggy know that the future for their little four-legged friends looks bleak when their owners can no longer afford to feed them and they have to scrounge for scraps? Do they realise that as they exhale Co2 and fart methane they will attract a Carbon Tax? This will change the weather so that's good eh? Not to worry, because as their "daddy" is the Engineer on the Gravy Train, they'll never want for a roof over their heads. Great idea Kev!

After failing at Copenhagen and then being laughed of the world stage for proposing to single handedly save the world from a nuclear holocaust a book about a puppy and a pussy seems to be a viable next option. One hopes Rhys Muldoon can also be employed to tone down the verbiage level of KRudds political speeches which few who voted for him have the mental acuity to comprehend.

Comment 62 of 135 # Poppy Posted at 8:59 AM Today
Ahhh, so Kevin Rudd DID NOT write the book. Rhys Muldoon did! But Rhys knows he couldn't sell the book without a bit of stupid publicity, so he brings his leftie mate onboard to promote and sell the book. They pretend that Kevin co-wrote it. I'm a teacher and there is no way that that book will ever be read in my classroom.

Kevin, What are you doing? You are the Prime Minister of Australia and you are writing a kiddies book. At a time when you are trying to force on Australia your ETS, the BIGGEST, most COMPLICATED and EXPENSIVE piece of Legislation and TAX ever introduce, you are DISTRACTED with writing a child’s book Come on Kevin, write me a NON FICTION book explaining in simple terms what your ETS is going to cost us, what complexity of “sustainable documentation“ we are going to have to fill in, what jobs will be lost off shore to China and more IMPORTANTLY HOW your ETS will stop Global Climate Change. Kevin, please do this very quickly before you go for a double dissolution. Kevin I will give you some bed time reading, some of my Aesop’s Fables so that you may learn, go to youtube look up ETS do we realy need it or go to www.scienceandpublicpolicy.org or importantly go to ttp://sesfoundation.org/dalton_minimum.pdf and see the real world facts on earths temperature over the next 20-30 years.

Copenhagen fails so he rushes a book out. HUH? Wasn't his idea, he says. Give us a break! What is the subtitle? ABBY, JASPER & THE ETS?

I read with disgust this article. Rudd's written a children's book - wow! Peter Spencer is on day 42 of a hunger strike which is growing more likely to end in his death. Rudd and family are off soon on a holiday to Tassie and peter Spencer is on day 42 of a hunger strike. A hunger strike that Rudd that great and public Christian often photographed outside churces, could end by getting up there beside Peter Spencer and promising to sort out the issues which have driven Peter to such drastic action. When I look at the photo of Rudd with his hands around the cat's throat, looking for all the world like a big Jessie, and I consider the photos I have seen of Peter Spencer it is clear to me who the more honourable gentleman is. Peter is practising passive resistance involving self sacrifice a form of action recommended by that great man Mahatma Ghandi. Rudd is practising self preservation - and not doing well at all at that. Prime Minister Rudd and ALL politicians who are ignoring what Peter Spencer is should hang their heads in shame, if any of them remember what real shame is.
Comment 80 of 135 # Andre Posted at 9:53 AM Today
Does this guy care at all about Australia or its future? Apparently not. Mr Rudd is a self-serving, conceited individual who only cares about the inane. How about writing a plan for the future of this country, Mr Rudd, or better still, sitting down and systematically working through the current problems this country faces now before it’s too late? Too busy to explain a proposed tax wrapped up as an “environmental solution†to Australians yet he has got all the time in the world to explain a story to the innocent and less critical minds of 5 year olds! Unbelievable!!! This guy’s narcissism has no bounds. On the other hand, should we expect anymore from Mr Rudd given his performance as PM already? Mr Rudd must be voted out in 2010!!

Comment 85 of 135 # Goodbye Rudd of Central Coast Posted at 10:00 AM Today
Maybe he should have spent his time explaining the real cost of his ETS to the Australian public instead of writing this. I guess his characters will have a labor spin on them, let's not wait till the kids go to school to be brainwashed by left wing teachers, let's get them earlier. What a fool we have as our Prime Minister.

KRudd, he makes me so sick.
Comment 87 of 135 # neil Posted at 10:05 AM Today
I personally think the way Rudd is continually seen doting on school children is creepy.
Comment 88 of 135 # fedup Posted at 10:08 AM Today
What is he doing writing a kids' book? Doesn't he realize that he needs to be IN Australia running the country? He seems to prioritize self promotion over ALL else. If he was doing this after he left politics, fair enough, but this man should be working full time as a prime minister. It is clear from the implementation of all his policies thus far, that there is an appalling disregard for the practical detail that make things a success. This guy is shameless.
Comment 89 of 135 # Kylie Wandry Posted at 10:25 AM Today
Why the hell is he wasting time writing books when he is supposed to be running our country? What does he want to be, an author or our PM? Step aside you idiot!

He should have no trouble writing about fairies as he has been living in their world for years.
Comment 91 of 135 # Andrew of Newcastle Posted at 10:26 AM Today
OMFG is this clown seriously in charge of our country! How does he have time for this garbage! Keep up the great work you tool!
Comment 92 of 135 # Helen Maidiotis Posted at 10:28 AM Today
This man is running our country??? God help us!!!
Comment 93 of 135 # Stumpy of Sydney Posted at 10:28 AM Today
This bloke's gimmicks to distract from any issue of substance has now deteriorated into a farce and a joke. We go from climate change debacle to a kids book. When will this strange and bizarre man stop taking Australians for fools?
Comment 94 of 135 # lulu of sydney Posted at 10:30 AM Today
PM you are the very best Prime Minister we have ever had...That other mob the fiberals are dead and buried for a very long time.... Have you ever seen such a dill as Abbott and his has beens..
Comment 95 of 135 # Rusty Posted at 10:30 AM Today
Obviously the PM while this is a charity venture is managing our Country well enough to ahve time to write about Kerfufles between a dog and a cat. Get back to work you!!
Comment 96 of 135 # Jacqui of Northern Beaches Posted at 10:32 AM Today
So much time on your hands Krudd, you are a joke and should resign. Forget Fraser, Whitlam and co, you are the worst ever to be Prime Minister of Australia. Oh, glad you don't see a need for Kirribilli House - Hypocrite!!!
Comment 97 of 135 # don campbell of port macquarie Posted at 10:36 AM Today
As Kevin Rudd is used to telling fairy tales this book should be a best seller, fiction is this bloke forte.
Comment 98 of 135 # Sick of him of Coffs Harbour Posted at 10:37 AM Today
Surely it's time this fool was gone; first he wants to rule the world & now he's writing books for children! I thought he was supposed to be the Prime Minister of Australia not Enid Blyton. Wake up fool because we are a wake-up to you !!!!!!
Comment 99 of 135 # Craig of Sydney Posted at 10:41 AM Today
Great with all the problems we have in this country, what dose our ding bat of PM do, wright a kids book. I think im going to be sick.
Comment 100 of 135 # rufus Posted at 10:41 AM Today
You Rudd haters will have to keep sucking it up because the Ruddster is going to be occupying The Lodge for some time yet.
Comment 101 of 135 # Sue Posted at 10:43 AM Today
Good on the PM and doing it for charity too. A great way to spend his downtime making an effort for the less fortunate.
Comment 102 of 135 # Bilbo Posted at 10:44 AM Today
Does this guy ever sleep?
Comment 103 of 135 # Dan Posted at 10:44 AM Today
He's clearly smart enough to work on a job after the next election...
Comment 104 of 135 # Chase Manhattan Posted at 10:46 AM Today
At least the PM has the courage to stand up against the PC crowd and do a little extra work for the community. Word up.
Comment 105 of 135 # Bender of Sutherland Posted at 10:46 AM Today
A Children s story book writer is running the country and jetting around the world. Can this get any better...
Comment 106 of 135 # Terry of Australia Posted at 10:47 AM Today
Krudd put his name on the cover, The other guy wrote the book. More pre election spin. I do not believe his intentions are noble.
Comment 107 of 135 # jim houso of bidwell Posted at 10:49 AM Today
Never thought my vote would end up as a kids book
Comment 108 of 135 # Paul Martin of Gladesville Posted at 10:52 AM Today
Änother publicity stunt by our wally of a PM. I can just see children across Australia being read a bedtime story and asking, "whats a Kerfuffle Mummy"?
Comment 109 of 135 # Shane of the backwater commie unionist state Posted at 10:56 AM Today
And this idiot is the leader of australia whats he want to do? brainwash toddlers so they become wanna be red rag unionist commies australia is fast sinking into a sewer pit with this idiot & its disciples running australia
Comment 110 of 135 # alex of nsw Posted at 10:59 AM Today
makes sense that a guy with the IQ of a toddler is writing books for toddlers.
Comment 111 of 135 # PeterW of Sydney Posted at 11:02 AM Today
It makes it all the clearer now. Little 6 year old Gloria of Copenhagen fame was in fact his musings after all. That went down like a bloody big flop too, all other leaders were a wake up to him then and with this latest little Kirribilli Kerfuffle they will now symathise with our dud Rudd.
Comment 112 of 135 # PeterW of Sydney Posted at 11:04 AM Today
Lesley of South Windsor you are up and down with your political loyalties like a pro....drawers
Comment 113 of 135 # John Arthur Daley of Sydney Posted at 11:04 AM Today
I think that this is a very positive step as it affords the PM with a new career direction when he quits politics in the next 18months. It is to be hoped that he will be more adult in his creative efforts aimed at children than the childish efforts he has deployed toward the adult market with his ill thought out big taxing schemes disguised as concern for a dubious climate change.
Comment 114 of 135 # Scrub Nurse of Orange NSW Posted at 11:04 AM Today
At the time of me writing this, there were 79 comments. I don't think I've ever read through 79 comments so quickly. They are all IDENTICAL comments. Can't we have a bit of variety DT, instead of the same old drivel? I must say, I have never laughed so hard at Chris Nelson of Ryde 1:56am comment. Please enlighten me as to what you were tryng to say! Maaate, before you go bagging out someone for writing a kids book, maybe you should look at getting an education yourself. Your comment made absolutely NO sense whatsoever. As for everyone else here, I think it would be the funniest thing out if Rudd got re-elected. You'd all self destruct! The sad reality is, after the next election, whoever gets in, these pages will be chock full of whingers going on about how pathetic our govt is, and bring on an early election, blah blah blah. Same old drivel. Oh, and as for Kev writing a book, I'm writing a book too. I write when I hop into bed of a night before I go to sleep. Even the Big K is entitled to that amount of personal time. If he's not even allowed to get into bed, what hope have we got. Shame I wasted my time writing this, Chris of Ryde won't get to see my message.
Comment 115 of 135 # Michael of Engadine Posted at 11:04 AM Today
This guy spends 0% of his time running the country correctly. If you're not seeing the flaws by now you have problems of your own!
Comment 116 of 135 # Jeff of Sydney Posted at 11:05 AM Today
Good to see that Rudd is at least writing about one of the few subjects that he might understand. This guy is a total moron and everything he does is for his own personal popularity and gain at the expense of the Australian people. Government of the people, by Rudd, for Rudd.
Comment 117 of 135 # Jen Jen of Sydney, Australia Posted at 11:09 AM Today
I think its sweet and very creative, leave Kevin Rudd alone.
Comment 118 of 135 # Shane of the backwater commie unionist state Posted at 11:11 AM Today
guess what he probably will give every illegal asylum seeker one when they arrive there goes a million copies in 12 months! surely no sane parent will read his dribble to their children except i suppose those die hard kruddite fans will make sure they have one just like all his commie Chinese mates have chairman Mao's little red book

What's wrong with that, after all Germany had the Hitler youth.
Comment 120 of 135 # mark of sydney of sydney Posted at 11:13 AM Today
Boy that's going to sink faster then Bob Carr's column in the daily telegraph,blink and you,ll miss it.
Comment 121 of 135 # Peter of Sydney Posted at 11:13 AM Today
Good to see the massive support on here for Rudd in the form of Lesly of South Windsor. Wake up you fool you can not defend the indefensible but then again its tools like you that are responsible for inflicting this idiot upon us all
Comment 122 of 135 # DT Posted at 11:14 AM Today
Good onya Kevin, you're a great story teller. Pity about you having to waste our time as a prime minister.
Comment 123 of 135 # Lindsay of Silverwater Posted at 11:15 AM Today
Neil, I couldn't agree more. I suppose he is getting in practice to become Santa Claus, because during the next election campaign he will be handing out gifts to all those who voted for this incompetent government.Come on Tony Abbot, how about writing a non fiction book about all of Kevins broken promises and failures. It would be a best seller!!!
Comment 124 of 135 # Kevin of nsw Posted at 11:16 AM Today
wish Dud Rudd would start writing children's books full-time.
Comment 125 of 135 # KeeptheBshonest of Sydney Posted at 11:16 AM Today
This is getting beyond a joke, he doesnt talk to us about his stuff ups, ETS, Boatpeople arriving in 1000s etc etc, "or go and see Peter Spencer", but he has time to launch a kids book for gods sake. We have a prime minister out of touch with reality and not facing up to his mistakes writing Childrens books, National labour is as bad as NSW labour it seems, same stuff ups just bigger $$$$$ being wasted !!!KeeptheBshonest!!!
Comment 126 of 135 # dole joe of sydney Posted at 11:20 AM Today
liberal voters must've lost their plot and took a shot at pm kev. come on, get on the dole queue already and vote mr rudd! give the guy a break! i've got my $900.
Comment 127 of 135 # Sick of him of Coffs Harbour Posted at 11:25 AM Today
"KEVIN RUDD has declared 2010 his year of nation-building and warned Opposition leader Tony Abbott to formulate "substantial" policies before the election." hahahahaha ss he going to include this in his next fairytale? AND while we're at it when is Dudd going to formulate his "substantial" policies? More bull.... Talk about Dr Doolittle, Mr Donothing more like it.
Comment 128 of 135 # Ness of Central Coast Posted at 11:27 AM Today
No time to go and see poor Mr Spencer who is on a hunger strike on his farm until he sees this pitiful excuse for leader - time to write a book about something as simple as he is but - awesome.
Comment 129 of 135 # Jolanda Posted at 11:29 AM Today
He has time to do this because just like Government Policies and inquiries he gets somebody else to do it and then just puts his stamp on it. Question I would have to ask is whether he has read it yet or whether he is just standing by it with his pets as a policy.
Comment 130 of 135 # Janette Sloane of Orange Posted at 11:29 AM Today
I bellieve that Mr Rudd wrote this book because children dont know what he is doing to the country and it would only be a labour suppporter that would buy this book for their kids maybe he will have it distrubited through the schools its the only way anyyone will read it. Mr Rudd loves his pets because they cant answer back and unlike humans he can have complete controle over them. What is it comming to when we have a Prime Minister of a great country like ours having time to write a book (oh thats right I forgot he spends most of his time with his bum on a seat in a plane. Good luck Mr Rudd I hope its a big flop
Comment 131 of 135 # Realist Posted at 11:29 AM Today
This is joke right? Go away you silly little person.
Comment 132 of 135 # Bruno Posted at 11:33 AM Today
What a country. What a press- is this article a joke ? or plain sarcasm ? A spin doctor stunt for the mums and animal lovers ? Why not write about Peter Spencer -
Comment 133 of 135 # JIMMY of cherrybrook Posted at 11:34 AM Today
ITS INTERESTING TO SEE HOW ALL THE YOUNG LIBERALS ARE BAGGING KEVIN RUDD.THE ABBOTT APPROACH OF THE BIG NEGATIVE IS SO VERY,VERY OBVIOUS.CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PRIME MINISTER ON THIS EXCELLENT IDEA.HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT WITH CHILDREN,DOG LOVERS AND CAT LOVERS AND PISS OFF THE YOUNG LIBERALS ALL AT THE SAME TIME....
Comment 134 of 135 # lennie sparks of parramatta Posted at 11:34 AM Today
Looks like Lesley of South Windsor is his only fan, but than they let them all out of the asylums years ago. Lesley must living in a deluded fairyland and as such she cah help KRudd with his books
