The character of Rudd

A woman called Lily Fontana posted on Facebook:

Just finished doing Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott’s makeup for the People’s Forum at the Broncos Leagues Club.

One of them was absolutely lovely, engaged in genuine conversation with me, acknowledge that I had a job to do and was very appreciative.

The other did the exact opposite! Oh boy, I have ever had anyone treat me so badly whilst trying to do my job.

Political opinions aside…from one human being to another…Mr Abbott, you win hands down.

This post, now deleted, has resulted in major stories. It fits with what so many people have said about Rudd – that he treats people awfully. It ranges from keeping people waiting for hours at a time, to abusing people for very minor problems. Another issue was:

In 2009 the Prime Minister was forced to apologise to a RAAF stewardess after it was revealed he reduced her to tears when the meal he requested was unavailable on a flight from Port Moresby to Canberra.

How you treat people on a personal level speaks volumes about character.

More bad news for Rudd is a poll showing he may lose his own seat.
