Swan obviously received some sort of advice or coaching for his Parliamentary presentation after his nervous start. So I wonder why they have neglected to coach these guys on the right type of words to use with the public?

Rudd tends to use the same words and fillers over and over some of which are getting a little annoying and sometimes says things in a way the ought not to be said for public consumption. These are minor things for those paying close attention but they make a difference in getting your message across clearly to the general public in a few second grab.

Maybe it is too hard to change old habits, I notice John Howard sounded fairly much the same at the end of his career as he did at the beginning.

Which WA thread? There is no post 176 on the current WA thread…

Adam,

It’s this one

Asia-Pacific, Latin American and African countries , not sure there ar many good citizens there Anyway trying to get even NATO Countries to agree would be I think near impossible , however HAD he suggested that option ie. start with NATO then at least infrastucture is there , and some semblance since 1945 (variable) of ‘democracy and humanitarian principals’ history in some of those countries

But getting NATO Countrys agreement would still be a big probelm , and further some ‘troubled’ areas ar under ‘control’ or ‘orbit’ of Russia and others , making interventon unlikely
