Just weeks away from the opening of Parliament here are my thoughts on this year for Labor.
We must and will show the truth youthful people of great value we have in Parliament.
We will reform, it will be bruising but must happen.
Gillard can not come back, not totally not win an election.
Once mid count in an election night Dr Jim Cains congratulated Australian voters on their maturity.
Within an hour in to the count he was in fear as the vote swung .
Maturity is not universal, not all have any of it.
To think Gillard can bounce back is to insult the thoughts of Australian voters.
Never do that, it is not a thimble and pea game.
So she will/must go.
Unpopular as it makes me, I stand by the things I love most, my union and my party.
NSW if it did not warn us *NEVER AGAIN*, tolled boths death knell.
Factional heads are of worth only if the faction/party is served not themselves.
Both loved groups must return to the owners control not one.
We will until Abbott is replaced gain in the polls.
But he will go.
Our future? unless we take head on the greens is limited to life time lease maybe ownership off the opposition benches.
Yet I am full of hope and so is my party.
2012? bring it on!

NSW never again.

Well there is Queensland and WA.

Thanks Shadow Minister I needed that.
Thought we had lost you.
No one can match you, the quick needle,sharp jab.
Indy trys,but bowls his bouncers in the wrong direction.
WA? be a very long time before we get back in office, maybe you meant your team?
They may well go bad but not just yet.
SA got rid of the fool not sure about the new bloke.
Still good year ahead,still have my list of forecasts?

This link is the whole truth of Labors challenge this year last year any year.
While Shorten is my pick for PM I understand Rudd would more instantly restart Labor.
I will never understand
Neither will most in my party.
Why we never received an answer, why did they unseat Rudd? Why? is Gillard leading us, even with the lowest polling in my memory.
Is the Party, my party, the private property of faction leaders?
No Charlie Olivers here,none so brilliant they need not answer such questions.
Return Rudd now, give Shorten time to grow but give my party's rank and file answers and hope.

Belly,

This is another perspective on the year ahead.

Did you read my link SM? have you read just this thread, noted my taking the slicing knife to my party?
Must be at least ten such threads I started doing that do you agree.
Lets see about 35? maybe another zero on that, threads that saw me finding fault with my party.
My challenges, you know the ones,to you and some lessor supporters of conservatives.
No offense, the lessor is only in skill, you are better by far, than any others.
Sydney toilet paper press?
It is only a flea trying to tip an Elephant over.
But recently, 3 months ago? stopped forever buying or reading the Murdock/tea Party press.
No thoughtful person, interested in other than control by self interested press Barons, scripting news as Gobbles like propaganda, should ever support them, readers numbers fuel advertisers even online.
You can do better than quote the comic book media.
OH see the ex union head, in his actions getting the headlines has shown not only is his honesty questionable, to some not me he is a thief, but he has no brains as well.
See did not hurt me at all, try it truth is refreshing and after all the only way to go.
