Prime Minister Kevin Rudd being a "control freak" is very debatable, as that would allude to the Prime Minister operating in a manor of a Dictator and I'd find it hard to believe that his coworkers, and the greater ALP for that matter, would just sit on their hands and take that. Dictatorship flies against the very core beliefs of all Australians and the approach wouldn't work for either side of politics.

It's my personal opinion that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd probably doesn't care for slackers and expects all who have a hand in running the country to put a solid effort in or they are shown the door.

If the ALP didn't want the filter I would find it also very hard to believe that only 2 members would stand in the way of the rest of the party dropping it.
