Weird watching this 16 months later. Rudd was right on the money. We ask - wheres the building? Wheres the jobs? The unemployment rate is now at 6.3% (up from 5.6% when the government took office). As Albo has correctly emphasised many times, this government is a lot better at taking credit for Labor construction projects than building its own. And more importantly, after making such a big deal about honesty, why could he not level with the Australian people about the cuts, cuts and more cuts he and his ministry have subsequently inflicted Australia with? Transcript: KEVIN RUDD: Therefore, in this gathering tonight, Mr Abbott, what people want to hear is - where are you going to cut? Which jobs? Which services? Which schools are going to be cut by you? (Abbott interjects) Because thats what youre committed to. I think we need to have a few answers, because youre way ahead in the polls, you are likely to be elected Prime Minister if there was an election today, and I think people have a right to know where the cuts are going to fall. TONY ABBOTT: [Lets not] please... say that Im somehow Mr Cut Cut Cut, because I want to be Mr Build Build Build so that we have more jobs, jobs, jobs.
