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.

We missed the Global Financial Crisis not because of Kev Rudd's management or his party. Have you forgotten how much was in the budget surplus left by the Coilition?( They had to fix up the mess left by the previous Labor Gov.) The Rudd government wiped out that surlus in less the 12 months and then Julia put us into massive debt by her terrible decisions in the short time she has been PM. Once again Australia has a big spending Labor Gov. that will never stop wasting money and making decisions that are just plain stupid.
