If I was Kevin Rudd I would be quite royally pissed off about all of this. Perhaps its best for Belinda Neal and/or John Della Bosca to both fall on their swords in advance of any inquiry findings. Federal Labor has been damaged enough by this tawdry episode as it is.

Stat Decs aside, I don’t get what the fuss is.
News just said she quit as I was writing this. Quit her position, not parliament.
An argument arose in a restaurant between customers and staff. Staff wouldn’t listen to customers.
Customer is usually always right. Staff’s in the wrong.
What’s the issue?
Or is this like the chair sniffing incident? It’s not actually about sniffing a chair because all that made no sense to me whatsoever. So what if he sniffed a chair? As I eventually worked out, Buswell must have sniffed the woman. That’s the only way any of that made sense.
Back to the Stat Decs, yes, its a crime if they lied on those, etc, etc, but it’s a procedural issue without any substance. No one cares, so why does the media continue to beat up the story?

It probably wouldn’t have been such a big deal if not for the fuzziness with the stat decs, and of course from a NSW politics perspective, that Della Bosca found himself in the thick of the drama for the second time in a fortnight.
I think the media is a bit bored really and trying its darnedest to knock the Rudd Government down a few notches to make things a bit more competitive. To be honest, I do think some of this mud is sticking.
