Kevin Rudd’s just had a huge whacking week.

“You’ll have times when you’re going to get whacked and they’ll come and they’ll go.

“Obviously in any given week, we’re going to take a huge whacking, and guess what, it’ll happen again as well.

Fair enough, I suppose, because I know the need arises for all of us now and again. I even had a huge whacking decade once. Between the ages of 13 and 23.

Just saying.
