5. If one is to hearken to history, fable and mythology, "evil" for want of a better term (and that includes child abusers in my book *Pork Belly*) invariably ends up turning upon itself, so it is no surprise to me to see your pathetic, dysfunctional ALP tearing itself apart. I actually find it extremely amusing, and would counsel the others to stand at a distance from it, so to speak, so as not to distract them, and perhaps consider offering quality policy ideas as an alternative. HaHaHa

6. I am pleased (though somewhat still shocked & saddened) to report that the Indo police believe that they have caught one of the murderers of our friends and obtained a partial confession. They are a very capable people when they can be bothered and it has been my pleasure to be enriched by them. That is not to say they as a nation like all others do not have their share of foul, loathsome, little trolls, but on balance, I am very fond of them.

7. Incidentally, the gossip on the street in Bali was that the price of securing "Weed Boys" release was a payment of some $AU300,000. Now whilst I admit that I do not know the truth of this, it was further alleged that at least one other certified Australian journalist is also aware of this. If true of course, that certainly has the appearance of the *Geelar Guvment* playing fast and loose with Australia's extra territorial anti corruption laws.

8. As amply shown by 4 Corners recently, *Geelar* is certainly capable of lieing her box off when it suits her, treacherous and power hungry in the extreme, and contemptuos of the law as evidenced by her performance post the High Court ruling in relation to the Malaysian Asylum Seeker swap debarcle.

No, she has to go, and if the ALP do not do it, then no doubt judging by the polls the public will.

Arjay, look at your post we all must know?
I have no idea why you try to think for us.
And do not wish to try to understand.

Rudd resigns: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-22/kevin-rudd-makes-press-conference/3845758?WT.svl=news0

Now the decks are clear. Gillard Vs Abbott. This will test Gillard, instead of standing on Rudd's political assination she will be scrutinized with greater clarity

Hardly think so, Rainier. Rudd is now free to roam around the edges, causing all sorts of havoc, and as the one wronged, mistreated, mistrusted, misunderstood. Can you imagine the pressure Bligh will be trying to put on Gillard now, to settle this before the Qld election ?

If Monty Python had made a cowboys and Indians movie, with one Indian circling the wagons and knocking a couple of coconut-halves together, this would be it.

This does not seem to have cleared the decks in my view either.

So far Labor does not seem to have produced any hard evidence of Rudd doing the wrong thing (although most believe that he has done so). There is also a strong perception that Gillard ran a campaign undermining him prior to taking over so the talk of loyalty seems very hollow.

There only real chance for them would seem to be for Gillard to step down and someone to get the PM's role who's not been closely involved in any of that history and who is a contrast to Abbott. A genuine changing of the guard.

I doubt that Gillard or the vested interests would be willing for that to happen so Tony is a shoe in if he does not make any major stuff up's.

Rainer seems a typical rusted on Labour party supporter who just does not get it. He writes

'Now the decks are clear. Gillard Vs Abbott'

No its rotten policy like illegal arrivals and a deceitful carbon tax that has swung the public. Bob Hawke could not win for Labour with such idiotic Government policy. It is not Abbott the people will vote for but the demise of tremendous Government wastage and the destruction of industry through deceitful taxes. Even Turnbull found that out with him swallowing the idiotic gw scam. Hopefully he is not a slow learner like Gillard.
