Maxine McKew knows that the best TV and radio interviewers are those with the greatest ability to listen to their guest. Listening was her winning strategy against the former prime minister in Bennelong.
Both the Bali Kyoto meeting and the Iran war risk scenario require immediate foreign policy attention. The new Rudd administration cannot afford to let itself be positioned in a similar public frame as its predecessor.
The leaders' election promises of more child care and tax breaks for private school fees were simply icing on a non-existent cake.
