...climate change, producing the best skilled workforce in the Western world and catching up to the government's failure to date on establishing a national broadband network." Doing a Kevin is a singular work in progress. Rudd and Labor are joined in a movable project whose chief author is clever and vulnerable, sincere and artificial, traditional and modern, controlled and controlling, meticulous and reckless...
...sure to strike chords with longtime friends everywhere. Musically, the album is more in-your-face than the band’s previous efforts. Especially worthy of note is the title track.

Fans first knew him as half of an audacious double act with his look-alike brother Matthew-two innocents who went nowhere without a football to muck about with. Matthew was a fine player, but Andrew was better. From his first-grade debut for Newcastle in 1994, opposing coaches knew that success depended on stopping "Joey." Some ordered that he be bashed and heckled. Others aimed their Goliaths at him in the hope that forcing him to tackle would blunt his attack...
