“I think the sitting member at the moment’s been doing a good job, even though he’s the Liberal Party (sic) and I’m Labor,” Mr Cunningham said.

The electorate nearly got it right; labor was voted out but Rudd should have gone as well. He was the cause of the disaster but he is in denial about it. Labor will be far better off with a new broom and Rudd being Rudd will only be a distraction.
Barry speaks, very well, and in the transcript sic is inserted.
