MEMORY MIRACLE
Bad news for the Brethren:
Federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd says he will not meet members of the Christian sect the Exclusive Brethren.
Maybe if they took off their clothes. Meanwhile, Kevin has regained his memory:
KEVIN RUDD: What I can absolutely recall is that there was nothing inappropriate as far as my behaviour was concerned.
KERRY O’BRIEN: You can recall that with certainty, yourself?
KEVIN RUDD: Yes.
[Rudd] said he could not recall what happened at the night spot because he had “had too much to drink”.
“If my behaviour caused any offence to anybody whatsoever that evening, I of course wholeheartedly apologise,” he said.
No need to apologise if you’re certain you did nothing wrong, mate.
I heard the nightclub’s owner say that Rudd and Co were in his establishment for only fifteen minutes on that fateful night. Rudd says he was too drunk to remember walking in and out of the place - begs the question, what does he think he did that night? What imagined exploit is he suppressing here?

I only know that to find out would involve endless hours dredging through all that is most degrading in human behaviour. How do I know this? Easy. Consider the following:
- he is a queenslander with a penchant for things medical (and possibly pineapples)
- Peter Beattie used to like him, but now does not (that has to be significant)
- he liked working in DFAT (and Indonesia is swarming withformercurrent Australiandiplomatskiddie-diddlersand most damning of all
- he has Julia Gillard AKA Beryl “The Pegger” Hacksaw as his deputy

You could have stopped at ‘he is a queenslander’.
It’s a long time since I was there, but they are a different species inside that border. Kind of like a passing UFO’s hatch popped open and half the crew spilled out.
Jeez, I think we’ll both need identity makeovers after this.Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 08 22 at 07:45 AM • permalinkkae, it hasn’t changed a bit. I thought of a new corporate slogan:
“What we sell is computers. What we manufacture is loose ends.”

How To Test A Total Stranger’s Sense Of Humour.Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 08 22 at 07:57 AM • permalinkIt’s curious how the media and politicians get exercised about a group who, according to Bob Brownout, control their people and don’t let their women work.
If our media and lunatic fringe pollies want to confront religious fundies, they don’t have to look too far to find them. Have they the guts to do so?
If, in the final analysis, they sell us out to the wrong group, I will be ... never mind.What gets curiouser is that the club owner knew exactly who Mr. Krudd was after 4 years. This is the same Kruddster who left after 40 minutes and didn’t spring for a lap dance, the cheap bastard. How did the guy know who Krudd was in the first place?
Lets see.
100 dudes a night 6 nights a week open 50 weeks of the year…. = 30,000 dudes through the door that year…. 120,000 since 2003.
And the club owner recalls Mr. krudd!! yea right!
Who the fuck are these people kidding? Who got to the club owner?
Oh yeah, Crossie, like that’s going to save me.
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 08 22 at 07:58 AM • permalinkThe Exclusive Brethren are w-e-i-r-d.
We’re not even talking Jehovah’s Witness type fanaticism here, they are another level beyond.
If you leave the Brethren or renounce the teachings, they have a funeral for you. That includes your immediate family. They will then never speak to you again, even if you’re right in front of them.
Not only that, somehow they seem to be swimming in cash, the lot of them. I have no idea why.Posted by daddy dave on 2007 08 22 at 08:12 AM • permalinkdaddy dave is right. The Brethren bear all the hallmarks - gnosticism, isolationism, brainwashing, probable abuse of women and children etc - of a cult tragedy waiting to happen. Perhaps having connections to the mainstream actually does them some good, I don’t know. But I won’t criticise Rudd on this one.

Suspect a micro veneer over a cesspool ... hence our fond reference to Herr Flick.During an interview with Kerry O’Brien on Lateline, witnessed the Kruddster, as Shadow Minister for Communications, remind Kezza of which Ministry he worked for - intimidation tactics that yours truly hasn’t witnessed before.
Presume this means Kevin 07 won’t be meeting with James Packer prior to election?
Interesting watching Wazza from Northern Territory,fondly called the Fourth Marx brother, and Kevin 07 trying to get their “gentleman’s nightclub” story in synch when all they had to do was get Kerry to rewrite the script.
Some Initial Results from the Exclusive Brethren’s <strike>bribes</strike> lobbying.
The right to a temporary passport in the target gender was granted after a number of unfortunate cases involving putting women in male immigration detention centres with the entirely foreseeable results.
The Exclusive Brethren believe that transsexuals, as minions of Satan, should be stoned to death. This makes sure that some will have a satisfactory fate.
So far, the worst thing that has been reported is Australian Citizens unable to get treatment in Australia being denied entry to their surgeon’s country on arrival. No rapes, murders, disappearances, not yet. That will happen though, as it used to in the past. Just last month a Transsexual on immigration detention in the US died in custody.
As to how they get the money? Well, some More Equal Pigs in the movement are allowed to use Computers. Purely for business purposes. One thing you can say for the Protestant Work Ethic, it Works. It especially works when you don’t have to pay tax, and can drive competitors out of business. Politicians are quite cheap, and they ensure your cosy tax situation isn’t disturbed.
The one bad thing I have to say about the Howard government is that they have allowed such Christian Taliban (and for once that’s no exaggeration) to infiltrate and influence the Liberal Party. I hope one day it returns to Liberal principles.
G’day from VN.
My dad used to work for the Brethren.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 08 22 at 10:32 AM • permalinkNews story today on Kev’s brother Greg Rudd -who says he is a part owner of a restaurant across the road from a strip club - a restaurant which provided the catering for “Universal GIRLS”. Rudd apparently met his wife Okhola (30) when she was working as an exotic dancer/stripper. Mr Rudd said “spending time in a strip club was a bit like going for a free therapy session.”
“There was probably more talk going on than any actual touching of the flesh”.
He said many university students found stripping beneficial.
“It helps economically of course, but it’s also an ENRICHING experience- because where else do young women at university in particular GET ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL GUYS WHO ARE C.E.O.s where they can talk openly and honestly to them.
Greg Rudd said his Botswanan born wife had stripped because she wanted a different life experience. “African women love dancing and are not afraid of flesh”.
The 53 year old (Rudd) said he and his wife had dated for about a month before SHE DECIDED THE WORK WAS NOT FOR HER (er 23 years age difference). All in the family then.Shock Jock grilled on Auntie’s Enough Rope
Following the meticulous interview technique that has made the veteran journalist king of the craft, Denton reportedly left an angry Sandilands “stuck for words” as he probed the FM host about the importance of taking responsibility for his actions.
He’ll be doing same to the Rudder?
Dudd says he won’t meet the Exclusive Brethren as they are an “extremist cult and sect,” and “they break up families”. The Brethren sound like the ACTU - I wonder if he is going to refuse to meet with them too?
Posted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 2007 08 22 at 03:44 PM • permalinkSo it took 3 days to pay off the girls to keep quiet.
Posted by Honkie Hammer on 2007 08 22 at 06:03 PM • permalinkThe Bretheren own quite a few farms in the wheatbelt area northeast of Perth up to Carnamah. A lot of it is fairly marginal, but it does get them a nicely isolated set of towns to flourish in. They are a weird mob and shouldnt be touched by ANY political party.
It might be a good time to consider the case of Mr Sin with regaurds to Krudds little dalliance at the strip club.
Mr Sin ran much of the Sydney underworld for many years largely due to pictures taken of pollies, judges, coppers, and lawyers in compromising positions at his establishments.
Ask yourself how much damage could be done by a mafia compromised PM?Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 08 22 at 07:22 PM • permalinkJanet Albrechtsen: Sisterhood silence?
Australian feminists too are political partisans first and defenders of women’s rights a distant second. That’s why, when it comes to Rudd’s girlie night out, I’m counting on them remaining silent for all the wrong reasons. Not because they believe politicians are entitled to a private life. But because Rudd is protected by his politics. Had Tony Abbott taken a detour to the Pink Pussycat one evening, I’m betting that the Labor Party sisterhood would be hissing for his resignation. Likewise if Alexander Downer or John Howard were caught on a pleasant UN tour of duty at Scores, we could expect howls of feminist derision. Sharan Burrow would, no doubt, be curbing her outrage only long enough to say that this sort of male exploitation of poor working girls was a natural manifestation of the WorkChoices mindset.
He’s got a decency and an honesty that I think we desperately need in politics.

Posted by curious george on 2007 08 22 at 08:00 PM • permalinkIf the Rudder is adamant, despite an apparently groggy memory, that there were no strippers to be seen in the hour or so of their stay, have his colleagues corroborated this?
Appears they’ve only said that he behaved like a gentleman, which, presumably, doesn’t rule out partaking of hookers in a ‘gentleman’s club’.She’s a good sort, 1.6.
I am a woman of many veils, it is true.

Oh yeah, what’s her view on her partner visiting strip clubs while on official business overseas?
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 08 22 at 10:16 PM • permalinkLabor politicians are nut jobs. And Howard associates with them too. How would you fell if you were a minority and the PM refused to talk to you. Under-represented.
At least they don’t wear explosive clothes
I am not a Labor party fan but atleast they are not some crazed relgious group. I don’t give a flying fuck that some religious group is a minortiy. Religion and Politics should not mix.

Personally, I don’t think Rudd has much to lose by not meeting the E. Brethren. They’re a high control group, if not an outright cult. The Open Brethren are much nicer, if you can stomach constant references to Dispensationalism. Id Rudd refused to meet with the Scientologists, I’d be equally unphased.
