This is how you bullsht!!
Political Spin - The way
it's done in Australia ..... No matter what side of the political fence
you're on, THIS is very telling. It just all depends on how you look at
the same things.
Judy Rudd, an amateur genealogy researcher in south
east Queensland, was doing some personal work on her own family tree.
She discovered that ex-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd?s great-great uncle,
Remus Rudd, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in
Melbourne in 1889. Both Judy and Kevin Rudd share this common
ancestor.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on
the gallows at the Melbourne Jail.
On the back of the picture
Judy obtained during her research is this inscription:
'Remus Rudd
horse thief, sent to Melbourne Jail 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the
Melbourne-Geelong train six times. Caught by Victoria Police Force,
convicted and hanged in 1889.'
So Judy e-mailed ex-Prime Minister
Rudd for information about their joint great-great uncle, Remus Rudd.
Believe it or not, Kevin Rudd's staff sent back the following
biographical sketch for her genealogy research:
"Remus Rudd was
famous in Victoria during the mid to late 1800s. His business empire
grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate
dealings with the Melbourne-Geelong Railroad.
Beginning in 1883, he
devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking
leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.
In 1887, he was a key
player in a vital investigation run by the Victoria Police Force. In
1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his
honour, when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
Now
that?s how it's done. That's REAL political spin.
