Labor Values gone wrong

Dear Mark,

Yes, I was disappointed in Kevin Rudd’s mid term slump as Prime Minister.

However, I do believe it is not “Labor Values” to dump a sitting PM.

In my opinion and obviously the opinion of the majority of Labor voters, he should have been given the opportunity to take Labor to the 2010 election.

To say that Gillard’s woes are because Kevin Rudd is destabilising the government is nonsense.

Gillard’s continual poor polling (polls reflect us they are not just a set of numbers) is because the electorate can not forgive her for the manner in which she took the job of PM.

The fact that we now suffer a minority government in a hung parliament was the only way the electorate could show its disgust in the ousting of Rudd.

This long term instability is the legacy of that treachery.

It is not “Labor Values” to oust a sitting Labor Prime Minister.

It is un-Australian to not give him a “fair go” and take Labor to the federal election. But the power brokers did it, because they thought they would lose the 2010 election.

It is Rudd who defeated 12 years of Howard government.

It is unforgivable in my mind what you did to Rudd. And the electorate shows its disgust daily.

This wrong can only be righted in the minds of the broad community by electing Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister if he choses to stand on Monday 27th February 2012.

As my local member, I therefore request that as my representative, you give your support to Kevin Rudd.

Anything else will see the Labor government annihilated at the 2013 federal elections.

If Rudd wins, I am sure he will call a snap election, he will win it handsomely and dangerous Tony Abbott, will be relegated to the history books as Dr. NO never being Prime Minister.

Yours sincerely,

Kerry Seebohm
