Not that he had any chance of getting the position anyway, but Turnbull has shown the world some mercy by refusing to endorse Rudd's campaign for UN secretary general.

Wow, looks very much like the far right wingers of the Liberal Party have got Turnbull by the balls now. He is a dead duck PM who is now beholden to the far right wingers for any direction on any issue. Absolutely bloody petty politics in the extreme, as petty and bad as I have ever witnessed in Australian politics over 50 years. Pathetic effort to say the least.... Evil or Very Mad Mad

Oh look, there is the Unicorn!! Twisted Evil

Different topic all together.

But this matter is a terrible reflection of how the far right wingers have really spooked Turnbull. He is nothing more than a puppet on a string now Rolling Eyes

How do you draw that conclusion? I agree with David, it's a good call.

Geez, its pretty obvious I would have thought to make to come to that conclusion. This is totally bloody blind partisanship politics and a clear cut case of taking a certain political side ahead of the dealing with matter at hand without any right winged bias. And Turnbull and the Coalition members might well reap in future what they sew now. Terrible, deplorable effort and pretty much typical of far right wings politics as usual I reckon. Evil or Very Mad

^Bollocks - he's unstable, unqualified and not suitable for the role even some Ex Labor pollies have publicly stated this opinion!

Although I would have liked to see him get the job cause Im sure he could have hastened their demise Razz

Who sacked Rudd? And what position was he in to begin with?

As former Labor NSW Premier Kristina Kennelly said, her dog would have been a better choice for the role than Rudd.

The guy is a narcissist, unstable and unqualified as you've rightly noted.

Rudd's a narcissistic twat, like becoming PM it's just for his own ego. Still bitter about being shafted by Gillard then the electorate he just wanted to be back in the public eye.

Still, I couldn't think of an organization that deserves him more.

Most people in Labor would privately agree with all of that, several have stated it publicly, but of course there's political mileage to be made from it by bagging Turnbull for a decision most of them would agree with.

No issues btw with them making the mileage from it, it's openly hypocritical but that's politics.
