Thu 6 December 2007 - The Prime Minister
It’s like writing the wrong year in January. I keep hearing the words “The Prime Minister” on the news and thinking they’re still talking about John Howard. Is it just me?
At first glance, I’m impressed with the code of conduct Rudd’s written up.

It is not. I think when I hear it, Howard has gone. Why are they talking about him again.

Yes takes me a second or two every time I hear “Prime Minister.”
Then I remember and a grin with glee!

I agree with you about Rudd’s code of conduct. A good start.
But little Johnny Howard started off with one and it soon went overboard (you know what I mean!). I hope Rudd sticks to his.

the code of conduct will last until the end of the first rudd term.he will lose several ministers and get rid of it, or simply ignore it and tough it out like howard did after a similar code of conduct for his first term.
im afraid the harpies and moaners of the left are in for a rude few years as their green dreams do not materialise under a pragmatic rudd govt.
just because howard wouldnt accede to their dreams and demands, doesnt mean rudd automatically will.
