Rudd government's new round of offensive

There are two or more possible reasons for the record number of failures of the Senate to pass the Rudd government bills.

One is, as the government has been trying to portray - the non-government parties are “Senate obstructionists".

The second, surely, is that the government is incompetent one way or another to come up with good bills.

Of course, naturally, there is the possibility of a combination of the two.

As the case of Copenhagen, the government is blaming everyone else but itself.

Are the government or those ministers including the PM honest with the public in this round of offensive?

What is the government's role in those record failings?
