Quite simple really.

Only two persons to choose from :
1. Kelvin Thompson ( Federal Victorian backbencher )
2. Bob Carr

The rest are population boosters, which will result in further distress for habitats, best farmland , social equity and sustainable economics .

Cheers,

Bazz,

You're right - I did say leader not p.m. What amazes me is that so few suggestions have been put forward for a strong labour leader!

Especially from those who have been very quick to suggest who in their opinion should lead the liberal party.

Have just noticed Ralph has come up with a couple of names. Thank you for listening to the question Ralph.

I believe Greg Combet or Penny Wong would do a better job than Julia Gillard.

Penny Wong would be my choice, but I doubt the other Labour politicians would elect another woman so soon, especially a gay woman. They aren't modern, forward thinkers.

Wong is very bright and intelligent though, a good public speaker, and is calm in the face of journalist questions...something that can't always be said for both GIllard and Abbott.

The bookies say it is Crean or Rudd, with the walking haircut Smith a distant third.

JG is abysmal. No-one would take her home if they won her in a chook raffle. But would anyone take Crean as second prize or Rudd as third? You would tip them in the Council bin before you'd waste a round trip with the box trailer on any of them.

Julia's work is nearly done, RIP Labor.

'They aren't modern, forward thinkers.'

Thank God for that Susie. In actual fact I would call it backward and regressive in choosing Wong. May be if we keep being 'forward thinkers ' we could have a polygamist or some other destructive family role model.

Pity you put the word 'good' in your header. It prohibits me from making any suggestion as i simply cannot think of anyone of the current lot that would be passable let alone be good.

In any case they may have little to chose from after the election.

I am looking forward to seeing most of the current Labor members gone for good, and for the good of the country.
