Launched in 2010 the first season of Labor the Soap Opera was an imediate hit with the Australian population. With live bulbbery performances by Kevin Rudd and jubilation by Julia Gillard it played to packed houses up until 2012. SETTING THE SCENE The stage setting was ingenious, it played out across everyone's televison screens with a backdrop initially of Parliament House Canberra, it then migrated like a virus to a location nearby. Julia was party to the coup against the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. He was kept in the fold by being given the prized Foreign Affairs portfolio. Kev has never gone away and every day speculation, and polls, contribute to the destablising notion that Kev may just be brought back. In each of the two images I separately follow this intrigue and document the machinations, thoughts, conversations and the soap opera nature of this Australian political couple. Click on both images separately after each has completed its particular narrative. |

Eleven years under Prime Minister John Howard, and Treasurer Peter Costello,
delivered very little in infrastructure and human capital investment for Australia's future.

| Going going gone, was the headline in the Australian politics web site owned by Kevin R Beck. It referred to Mr. Kevin Rudd. It was posted fourteen days before the coup. I have access to a tool that can use a focus group of handful of carefully chosen people to determine if a sitting politician will hold their seat or if a candidate will win. |

June 2010, watching the commentary on the demise of Kevin Rudd as leader of the labor party in government in Australia I noted the rush, by the commentators, to get on board and offer opinions and rationale. Perhaps one of the most common refrains from the "insider elite" is " no one knew" or "who could tell?" and "no one predicted this". Readers of this web site would know that someone definitely did klnow, and predict, the outcome. Similarly the economic watchers were caught flat footed, and out of the loop, on the global financial crisis, again justifying their lack of intuition by being part of the ignorant pack that claimed that it was not possible to predict. They simply did not know. Therefore generally the rest of us would not know. That also is not true. These are the things I do amongst others, assessing, analysing, predicting and implementing. Politicians, political parties, government agencies, businesses, and corporations, could save a lot of money by reading, and studying, the content of my multiple topic web sites or by simply sounding me out in a conversation. There is a lot more to our arsenal of utilities and skills than blogging and commentary on the internet. Soon I will begin to examine Australia, through the eyes and mind, of the Prime Minister Julia Gillard. (Kevin R Beck, Melbourne Australia, Australian Politics and Governmments |
