Can they read?

I wonder whether politicians can read?
Kevin Rudd wrote a diatribe against the free market economy recently.
Now Malcolm Turnbull has responded in a slightly more erudite manner - and the parrots do not like it. The problem is that the parrot do not appear to have read the response, merely noted the names mentioned in it.
I have little time for Malcolm Turnbull but, in all fairness, he was congratulating the Rudds on their financial success - and rightly criticising Rudd for speaking out against the very policies that made them wealthy.
Of course Rudd, and others of his ilk, will ensure that their financial affairs are safeguarded while maintaining a pseudo-belief in pseudo-socialist policies.
Today is our ridiculous horse-racing holiday. It is not the sort of thing we need at any time, least of all in a recession. Rudd probably supports this as 'cake' for the mob. If he was here he would go to the races. Turnbull would go to the races too. There is not much difference between them.
I will not be going to the races.
