Rudd fails economic history lesson, Christian Kerr, July 28, 2009 ....PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has got his economic history in his latest exercise in essaying "exactly wrong". That's the view of RMIT University academic Sinclair Davidson, who says it doesn't augur well for our future......
Davidson wants to know how we can trust a bloke who has got the past wrong to lead us into the future.....
Davidson points to research by RMIT colleague Steven Kates which shows how unemployment in Australia after 1932 fell more swiftly than in the US and Britain. The essay shows how ignorant Kevin Rudd is of Australian economic history.....
All up, Davidson describes the background to Rudd's latest essay as extraordinary. "He's put us into debt to the tune of $300 billion having claimed to have learned lessons that he doesn't know."
