Speaking, I repeat.. speaking is not necessarily saying anything

Hot on the heels of a more trivial example in our PC-obsessed culture of not saying anything (or often doing anything either) we have this: Australian PM please explain? In Mandarin ..

There is also not being pinned down on anything, not matter what. Hence we get this on climate from Australian PM Rudd:

"There has to be a greater synergy between, let's call it our policy leadership in this, which has been focused so much, legitimately, on targets and global architecture, almost reverse-engineered back to the means by which you can quickly deliver outcomes,"

Leadership on the big issues at the best. I await our Dear Leader following suit as it works so well. or maybe we just insist it all happens in Mandarin so we can get an idea of what they actually believe and are up to.
