Come the Kevolution

From DD McNichols Strewth in todays Australian WHILE Kevin Rudd is enjoying his summer hols on beautiful Sydney Harbour at Kirribilli House, his supporters (or perhaps detractors) are beavering away to boost his image. Following the now-collectable Kevin07 T-shirt comes the Viva la Kevolution T-shirt in three fetching shades – red, green and white. The brainchild of Sydney artist Graham Brown and his poet mate Adam Gibson, the shirts feature the PM’s unmistakable jowls and rimless spectacles under a communist-star embossed beret. The image is a shameless knock-off of the still popular Che Guevara image from the 1960s. Brown, who tells Strewth he is a sucker for a bad pun, reckons it is the ideal summerwear for everyone from yummy mummies to latte-sipping lefties. The T-shirts, which are a rather pricey $40 each, can be ordered from…find out yourself if you want one – I’m not going to tell you……oh, all right….www.plastikzen.com. And while we’re talking about Kevin Rudd enjoying his holidays what happened to “Taking only Christmas and Boxing Day off”

Many ministers appeared to have ignored his pre-Christmas edict – perhaps said tongue in cheek – that his team was only allowed Christmas Day and Boxing Day off.

In todays press some are listed as working but the man who said Christmas and Boxing day only is not. Under the “Howard Lied” rules Kevin has clearly told another porky. Get used to it.
