You'll get my vote, says Ron North.

    THE controversy about Kevin Rudd attending an exotic dance club has me infuriated.
    If we live in a democratic society Mr Rudd has just as much right as anyone to attend one of these establishments.
    This type of entertainment is not for everyone, but people have no right to judge patrons and exotic dancers if they don't really know what they're about.
    Young women in this industry cop a lot of criticism, but it actually takes a lot of talent to become a good exotic dancer.

    It requires a lot of money, time and effort. I understand that some people have a negative opinion about exotic dancers. But for the majority of the venues where dancers operate there is a uni-sex audience.
    I always get positive feedback about my dancers.
    I was recently approached by a hotel in Newcastle and asked if my girls would be able to provide entertainment on a regular basis. Yes, there are guidelines and limitations on what we can provide and yes some agencies do not comply to these rules.
    But why should everyone be condemned just because the minority do not apply these rules?

Kevin Rudd should not be punished for going out and having a good night of fun and entertainment.
    People need to stop and think of just what type of person they want running their country- whether It is a real person living an everyday life, or someone just showing and telling you what you want to hear.
    Anyway Kevin, you have my vote and I bet you will have that of everyone in the adult industry as well.
