Amazing revelation. Rudd was more interested in seeming than in doing

Just another Rudd stunt, designed to seem good, not do it? Gosh, what a surprise:

FORMER prime minister Kevin Rudd began legal action against Japan's whaling program despite strong opposition from senior ministers and bureaucrats who warned it was likely to fail and strengthen the hand of the Japanese.

Leaked United States diplomatic cables have indicated the decision to take Japan to the International Court of Justice was designed to divert public pressure on Labor over whaling.

What an offensively mendacious government this has been. An insult to our intelligence and a menace to our welfare.
