The new urban myth for NSW North Coast Nationals appears to be that even though the Coalition lost the federal election it doesn't really matter, because Kevin Rudd won't change things much.
A strange way to console themselves for losing at the polling booths on November 24.
WorkChoices is being dismantled, Kyoto was ratified, the Code of Ministerial Responsibility was expanded, reporting of political contributions was returned to pre-Howard criteria, Australian Law Reform Commission recommendations on Commonwealth sedition laws are on the agenda to be revisited, the NT Intervention is to be reviewed, the Australian Government is going to apologise to the Stolen Generation, there is a broad timeline for complete combat troop withdrawal from Iraq and cooperative federalism is the order of the day under a Rudd Labor Government.
Everything the former Howard Government would have hated to see happen.
No matter how you huff and puff, that's big change fellas!
