    The fact he hasn't canned the policy and has failed to sack Conroy for his disgraceful conduct shows how complicit Rudd is in this policy.

    A policy the Libs wound up dropping.
    Indeed Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is "calling the shots" and that a degree of responsibility does lie with him but to suggest that he is solely to blame or holds the majority of the blame is highly misleading.

    At the end of the day the policy must receive the approval of a Majority vote from the party itself, this suggests that it is entirely possible that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd may not of voted for it at all, but because there were enough votes for it, it became official party policy.

    We have had plenty of recent examples of what happens to leaders who introduce policies themselves or hold differing opinions to the party majority.

    I personally would like to see Senator Conroy join the unemployment line as well, he is a rogue and an idiot at best and has done very little to better this country.

    Yes the policy was dropped by the former Government, but only because they saw how unpopular it was, how much money they'd have to spend on it (Something they really don't like doing) and they didn't need another nail in an already sealed coffin.

    I agree dude, I don't know why they haven't jumped on it but I'd say that, like Work Choices, it is probably something they have sitting in the play book that they intend on resurrecting themselves.

    I tell you what though, I would be very scared of the day that people would vote for a particular party based solely on a singular policy, very scared indeed as there is already enough sheep that are legally required to vote.
