I would allow them cue cards you know about 10cm by 15cm with pullet points....... Rudd is holding a lot of paper for an event that was about an hr or so long.

I have run 3 day work shops off bullet points on a single sheet of A4 paper.

Its all about knowing your subject matter, Costello was the best MP at this I can recall on this, it appears Rudd's mind is very dull or disorganised (or both) for him to need that many notes for a short session.

Fred,
Yes, but the Rules stated no NOTES and Tony Abbott adhered to the Rules. Krudd did not and should have been pulled up by the Moderator. He had notes and so cheated and gave himself an unfair advantage.

Not that Tony needed notes, he did an excellent job without even dot-points.

Krudd is losing it, I think. He will throw a wobbly any day now. Grin

Yes many speakers use notes ....... but the goods ones don't. You missed what I said, just because you speak publicly does not mean you are good at it ...... look at Gillard, she barks at people in a condescending manner.

The better speakers need very little, Rudd is claimed to be such a good speaker and Abbott they claim is not........ yet this debate showed Rudd has very little credibility.

FYI out of all the public events I have attended of many different styles ....... many of them are boring and very unprofessional, at a guess I think most people are uncomfortable at public speaking. This does not bother me much as these people often are not professional speakers but are highly credible people asked to have a say. A politician is a professional mouth piece and should have highly developed public speaking skills.

maybe because

HE SIGNED NOT TO USE NOTES THATS WHY

NO
He DIDN'T

This "dispute" is just about point scoring and "playing politics" - from right-wing advocates

Speech pointer notes are NEITHER "a document" or an "other prop" when delivering an address

( ... obviously Tony is confused by definition, as WELL)

It's probably about ratings, Wigley. Notes make people turn the channel.

Besides, a candidate for PM should have his arguments down pat by now. If Gillard was on the stand, she certainly would - as would Turnbull.

Rudd's a details man. Abbott's a big picture man. Rudd needs notes much more than Abbott,

I'd like to see the situation reversed. If Abbott had notes and Rudd talked off the cuff - that's the debate I'd like to see.

Whenever I go to any presentations I tend to get turned off people continuously referring to their notes, I even get the odd presenter reading out a script which suggests me they really don't agree or understand what they are saying.

If you truly believe something or are intimate with a subject matter you can speak without notes.

Rudd just bunches a bunch of lies together and is heavily scripted, telling the truth has a nice natural flow, when you start lying you need to keep thinking up new lies to fill in the gaps that lies create....... it like running on a treadmill with no controls.

I remember a few years ago, doing my HSC, we did a speech for English. It was supposed to be 7 minutes. One kid got up there with an essay written completely by his older brother. He stood there talking for 19 minutes without looking up from his transcript even once. Whenever you give a presentation of any kind, you mustn't refer to palm cards, except sporadically. It shows that you don't have confidence in what you are saying, and that you aren't even fully aware of the topic/s.

In Rudd's case, however, it was even worse, because the rules stated that notes were not allowed in the room. So why didn't David Speers or anyone else stop him. If you ask me, Speers has questions to answer.

Fred,

Exactly. I believe that John Howard did not use notes Normally I avoid political speeches but watched this time as I really, truly want Tony Abbott to win and Krudd to be dispatched to the dustbin of Life!

I disagree. we want our pollies to be good LEADERS not good speakers. We want good policy-makers, not after-dinner entertainment. A pollie should be able to acquit himself well in public speaking but by no means should he ben expected to be brilliant or even particularly good. Whiltam was a brilliant speaker and a poxy PM. Howard was an average public speaker but a great PM. The correlation simply isn't there.

If so, when Rudd arrived at the lectern with notes in hand, why didn't anyone say something? Whoever was in charge must have thought it OK as, evidently, did Rudd.

Are you alleging a conspiracy to embarrass Rudd?

The one thing that's missing from this shouting match: http://images.theage.com.au/file/2013/08/12/4653668/debaterules.pdf?rand=1376255....
12. The Leaders may have a pen and paper on the lecturn and no other documentation or props.

I can see how Rudd might have missed the second-last bit, but why didn't anyone else notice?
