As opposed to the man who'd be screaming blue murder if refugees were processed on shore. You should be applauding Rudd's 'tough stance' shouldn't you? But no.
Only eight more years Mick, suck it up.

Howard is history mate you should get over it I have. Do I applaud Rudd's stance No! I'm rather disgusted he has sacrificed one of the principles he won the election on for political gain. That's hypocrisy isn't it? He's afraid of the people who Labor are supposed to support, the not so well educated or well off who generally have a redneck attitude to refugees as they see them as threats to their jobs might be inclined to vote for someone else. Do I think refugees should be beaten up in Indonesia? No I don't. Would it worry me if refugees are processed in Australia? No it would not cause me to change my vote, even if Howard had introduced processing on the Austaralian mainland, I would still have voted for him, However, you will continue to vote for Rudd even though on this issue he is equally as bad as Howard.

How will you sleep? Will Rudd be in power for another eight years? based upon the current opposition not an unreasonable assessment, however things change very quickly in politics. Interest rates will rise significantly over the next few years to pay for the recent government spending spree, this coupled with the carbon tax will produce some interesting results.
