At the official Prime Minister of Australia website something strange is going on.

24 Dec
Appointment of Departmental Secretaries - Media Release

But where is Rudder's 2008 christmas message to the
All I can find is his message for 2007.
I suppose that as most of his message is the usual generic pap, and he also visited our troops in Afghnaistan in December 2007, his staff decided that they couldn't be bothered to update the sentiments with a newer entry.

Nice pickup (I thought I'd found his 2008 one when I only found the 2007).
Can't people grovel through Hansard 2008-12-04 and find the one para Xmassy bit from Rudd (and get Turnbull's as a bonus)?
No, Rudders' Chrissie bit on the floor of the House didn't count, as he had done the full monty the year before.
I suspect that he wants to forget that past attempt to ape Howard and Her Maj.
The gales of laughter must have been loud enough to reach his ears then - before self-importance began to muffle sound.
I meant "Can't people grovel..." to be facetious, along the lines of "Let them eat brioche/cake".
Sorry, Dave.
I'm still too full of pud and brandy sauce and it's obviously affecting my irony register!
