Just reading the Age - dont know if Ill finish the article if its all like this: Then Kevin asked me the question: Are you with me? His direct manner was mildly surprising. I replied I am and let my answer hang in the air as I gave him a reassuring nod. I deliberately resisted being any more effusive than that. I wanted Kevin to know that he had to make real changes to the way he was operating. Personally, I believed the way he worked - in particular, the way he managed the cabinet and his relations with the caucus - meant his prime ministership was not built to last. Its shelf life, being built on celebrity, was likely to be quite short unless he changed. I wanted Kevin to be under no illusions that the ship of government was listing and needed to be righted. He had to lead that process. And thats what I tried to convey on that flight to Brisbane. I wanted him to know that while I wasnt against him at the moment, there were problems with the way he was operating. - Wayne Swan Heres a tip, Wayne. Next time you want someone to know that they have to make real changes to the way they are operating...............................and........ have to lead that process TRY TELLING THEM BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
