Rudd Gives Howard A Flogging !!!

Could this be a the aproach of a golden age in Australian politics ?

Opposition leader Kevin Rudd has stepped up the intensity of attacks on PM John Howard after Howard attacked possible presidential candidate Barack Obama.

John Howard whos time as Prime Minister, has experienced very little in the way of Opposition from past Labor parties or leaders, being more or less politically bullet proof.

Rudds rise to leadership, has coincided with a massive swing politically away from John Howard as Kevin Rudd has put the PM under enormous pressure over a range of issues, constantly refering to Howard as a "Global Warming Skeptic" and hi-lighting his deficiencies in enviromental matters.

Kevin Rudd has turned the attack on Iraq policy back on John Howard, accusing the prime minister of being gutless and without a plan for the future of Australian troops in the troubled country.

Rudd, who has challenged Howard to a televised debate on the issue, today reiterated that his policy would be a withdrawal of Australian forces, in consultation with the Americans at the end of a six-month troop rotation.

I have to admit im getting a great deal of amusment watching Howard squirm and sweat who woulda thought a bloke who looks like Harry Potter could put up such a fight against the master minipulator.
