Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

What we have had on display from the alternative Prime Minister in recent days is quite remarkable. He first of all said the global financial crisis is a ‘hype’. Despite the concerns of 10 million people with superannuation policies, the response of the Leader of the Opposition is that that is all hype. For people concerned about interest rate increases when there was an interest rate increase of 25 basis points, he said that was overdramatised. How out of touch can you get!
