The mistake Federal Labor has made in framing its policies (as it approaches this year's national election) is in thinking that Australians voted Kevin Rudd in as Prime Minister rather than voting John Howard out, that support for Labor in 2007 was only hinged on how Rudd was perceived by the electorate and voters' love affair with Rudd was a solid given.
Chickens are coming home to roost with a vengeance now as Rudd's popularity plunges in the polls and two-party preferred figures turn neck and neck after Labor ditched or deferred key policies it took to the last election.
Labor has boo-booed big time and with the mainstream media stirring the pot with the help of the Opposition Leader, who has the policy attention span of your average gerbil, this is going to be an interesting albeit confusing time for voters.
