Conventional wisdom has it that with the economy the way it is, the government should be polling brilliantly. Conventional wisdom also says “Don’t just stand there, do something”.

So we got Media Monitors to do a little compare and contrast of media mentions:

3-6
September

10-13 September

Kevin Rudd

2,697

1,533

Julia Gillard

659

1,464

Tony Abbott

578

2,246

Just standing there seems to work a treat for the incredible shrinking Kevin Rudd.
