It's even more surprising to me that people can't see how Turnbull's behaviour in this case is anything but political.
Â
Turnbull is being all ars
e and no class with this issue.
Â
It's so easy for us to gloss over someone because of their personality but the job isn't about whether Turnbull likes Rudd or not.
Â
It's about international diplomacy and a previous PM and Foreign Minister is about as close as you can get to qualify.
Â
Clearly the UN are quite capable of determining those attributes.
Â
If Rudd isn't suitable to them, fine. But for Turnbull to be blocking even the application for candidacy is just vindictive and point scoring.
Â
Govt shouldn't even be allowed to interfere in such matters. It has no effect on the running of the country and that's what makes the whole thing so petty.
Â
We didn't see that from Kevin Rudd when Brendon Nelson and Peter Costello were allowed to run for their post Govt jobs so that rather contradicts the megalomania claims.
