Memo to the post-election Federal Labor Party

Kevin Rudd the individual may be a nice man in private life.

However, you have been down this route before with Kevin Rudd the member of parliament.

He resigns a parliamentary position within the party and moves to the backbench saying he will not make further public comment.

Then it starts  - the whisperings, unexplained leaks to the media and others, self-serving press releases at inopportune moments.

In your heart of hearts you know how it will end this time around.

So before it does......

Forcefully advise the willful, reckless and vengeful politician to either resign his seat or quit the party.

Send him back to private life and his loving family.

Note: I am not a member of any political party.
