FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Former Labor leader Mark Latham says if he was a backbench MP whose political fortunes were being undermined by leadership speculation, he’d give Kevin Rudd a “kick up the bum”.
He said the now-foreign minister, who was ousted as prime minister in June 2010, lacked the numbers to move against Julia Gillard, otherwise he would have acted by now.
“I’d go and kick Rudd up the bum,” he told Sky News on Thursday.
“Those lowly backbenchers, they’ll be out there this Saturday in the shopping centre, the lowly menial task in politics of handing out the leaflets to Mr and Mrs Stringbag out in Mount Druitt and the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
“Those poor marginal seat holders, they’ll go home and say to their wife `I just won 30 votes down at the Mentone shopping centre’.
“Then they’ll turn on the TV and there’s more Kevin Rudd destabilisation and treachery – `he just lost me 130 votes’.”
Mr Latham said Labor needed a leader to provide unity and cohesion.
“It might be Stephen Smith,” he said.
“He’s probably the best person qualified to unite the party.
“Or it might be Bill Shorten whose hands are a bit dirtier in terms of the coup d’etat against Rudd.
“But they need someone, anyone, who can unite the party and give them some sort of credibility with the people.”
Mr Latham also described Mr Rudd as an “ego-maniac”.
“Rudd hasn’t got the numbers but he’s addicted to the media publicity. He loves to be the centre of attention. He know he’s undermining Gillard. It’s a political nightmare,” he said.
