Can anyone tell me why people now hate Kevin Rudd?

Yes, he reminds me of Tim Brooke-Taylor (google if you don't know who I'm talking about).
Yes the "fair shake of the sauce bottle" thing was incredibly try-hard.
But, wasn't he the head of a whole entire party? Didn't they & even the opposition have to reach some sort of accord to enact legislation? Didn't Australia manage to miss the worst of the Global Financial Crisis? Did he personally screw up the insulation? I'm pretty sure that one was a group effort.
I just don't get why people think changing the person at the top of the pile will change the entire party's policies or the whole country somehow.

In my opinion Kevin Rudd used the position of PM to better his own agenda. He is a very arrogant and self important man. His real objective is to sit on the UN Council. He has spent millions of taxpayers money in the pursute of this aim. Recently he invited members of African and other countries to Australia and lavished them with the very best in accommodation and entertainment so that he could " buy" their vote.(article in the Weekend Australian newspaper) Am I the only person who is concerned about this? Does Australia really need a seat on the UN Council? As Foreign Miinister he is in a very poweeful position to travel the world and spread this idea. Why is this going on without th backing of all Australians? The UN doesnt have the power or onfluence it used to in the world so I dont see why Australia should spend millions each each just to join - how much influence would we have? Seriously we are a tiny country and not in any real position to tell other countries what to do.
