Dear Belly,

I would be very surprised if the former Prime Minister was re-instated
by the Party. For one thing - I think he's thoroughly enjoying his
current portfolio - and why on earth would he want to come back to a much higher-pressured, thankless job? Now he gets to mix on the world stage, is treated with respect, it's a prestigious posting, and he gets recognition and accolades for his achievements. If I was him - I'd stay with what I've got. Of course I suppose he could be pressured into - "The Party needs you," but I'd discuss it with my family before I got pushed into anything, if I were him.

I believe that that ALP had received some suggestions from Faulkner, Crean, and Brachs as to how to move forward - and what to correct. Hopefully the Party will take that advice on board and do just that.
I wouldn't write things off just yet. There's still enough time to make changes - though I don't think Kevin Rudd is the answer.

How about John Faulkner Belly.He seems to have some integity? This is what is largely missing in all of our political parties.They wouldn't know the truth if it slapped them in the face.

Come on Arjay, Faulkner was the one who wanted to allow secret women's business evidence to be submitted to a court in a sealed envelope.

Everyone, including him must have known it was absolute BS, hence the desire for it to avoid inspection. If that's what passes for integrity, we are in real trouble.

Turnbull hasbeen did try to join the ALP first as did both Abbott and Costello, love those two names together,expressive!
I can not defend Gillard, from a close position I saw her pre 2007 for what she has become.
Much like Abbott, a changeling.
Would, both of them, dance naked in the street to be seen.
Rudd was much better at his worst.
My intention?
To get the man who is what Kevin Rudd promised to be, Bill Shorten, in the lodge, while we are not dead.
Do not hasbeen/Australia overlook the real dangers lack of policy and dangerous policy's Abbott's Rabbits hold.
And never ever forget Turnbull is your savior ,he wants LIBERALISM to again live in your party.
Abbott, and you MUST face it, it is the truth.
Wants tax payers to pay big polluters.
He wants tax payers to pay for women on incomes twice some, to have six months maternity leave.
Wants to take from pensioners money to be paid to help rising costs of living.
Abbott has no current known plans, to help them with rising power costs.
The same gentle man, more interested in share holders than our country, says he will not take the new agreed to mining tax, the only way I see this country, via infrastructure growtrh gets a fair share of the windfalls over seas interests are getting.
Who will pay to develop Australia.
11 billion black hole in his last budget so he avoids telling us ANY THING about his plans to fund his big spending.
My poor country!
Poor average Aussie.
We all know, those who will look ,we are badly served by both sides, have become victims of rag like Medea intent on story's not responsibility they have.
We will just see ,soon ,how badly Abbott and Gillard serve this country/the parity's they both lay claim to owning.
In a horse race I study form look at the coats walking the lot here we compare a three legged donkey with a camel that can only run back wards.

Dear Belly,

Bill Shorten would be my choice as well.

Bill Shorten and Malcolm Turnbull - now that would
be a great choice at the next election.

Lexi,Malcom Turnbull? He is a Globalist and acolyte of the central banks.Turnbull wants the carbon tax that Juliar has pledged 10% already for the UN World Govt.Turnbull is an arrogrant elitist who is the conduit for the big end of town.
