It is apt and fortuitous that the Senate is discussing the National Fuelwatch (Empowering Consumers) Bill 2008 and related legislation on the eve of the first year of Rudd Labor. It is apt because the Fuelwatch legislation typifies Rudd Labor’s first year in office, and it is fortuitous we are debating it because it allows us to summarise the ever-emerging flaws in Rudd Labor. When people think of Rudd Labor they think of overpromising and underdelivering. They think about spin over substance.
