Nicola Roxon is very much in the news for using the John Button Memorial Lecture to indulge in some rather nasty and shameless office politics, cat-calling ex-PM Kevin Rudd a "bastard"(?!).

The ex-Attorney-General, whose vendetta has no room for democracy has called upon Rudd to resign and leave the Parliament. So much for the electors put him there.

In the private sector such behaviour is taken as very poor form indeed. Particularly where the offender had previously received a generous golden handshake, and would guarantee that the s/he would never be considered seriously for a job anywhere ever again.

Nicola is good mates with Julia Whatshername, who had words recently too.

What will be ALP Leader Bill Shorten's reaction? What should his reaction be? Because the wounds are wide open still. Will Bill be firm or limp for the benefit of the Party? Or will it be another case of 'Whatever she says'?

Not the sort of surprise present the new ALP Leader Bill Shorten would have wanted.

There is bad blood. The hatreds run deep and long. Those are the facts.

Bill Shorten must do something, but what? Firm or limp?

Pontification by ex pollies is pretty much the norm.
Ex is what they are and should be treated as such. They have run their race no matter what brand they are.
Entertainment value is about it, that is of course if one finds the rantings of an ex pollie entertaining.
Who really cares ?

It was ex-PM Julia, then Maxine McKew, a minister in both Rudd and Gillard governmnents, and now the former Attorney-General, Nicola Roxon.

OTB,

The only thing worse than a current pollie is a past pollie.
They are all tarred with the same brush, past and present, with very few exceptions.
The saving grace is we can have a change every three years, pity they do not have a 3 month probation period. Most wouldn't get past that.
As regard your reference to the women pollies, maybe the old adage applies. 'Women can keep secrets it just takes more of them to do it.'
It's all good fun and not to be taken too seriously.
