A PS watch the polls in the next two months
And unfortunate truth will emerge.
One Gillards ALP PTY LTD team, owners for a time of my party, have ignored.
Voters do not want the tough lady.
In fact if Abbott went under a bus, driven by Turnbull?
Climate change, two party,s, same reduction target.
One telling us its childlike policy funded by taxing us to pay offenders?
This interesting thought.
Abbott,s policy,s may just wound him enough by election to remove him.
Leaving ALP PTY LTD standing at the starting blocks.
Question, will she put Rudd in a ministerial roll?, it may keep him from resigning pre poll.

Dear Belly,

Don't you get it? Of course Rudd didn't want to challenge Gillard. Why would he want to lead Labor to its obvious defeat at the September election?

When Labor is left in ashes after the election Gillard will be sent to the backbenches forever and Rudd will emerge as the Phoenix from those ashes to ressurect Labor. He did it in 07 and he'll do it again in 16/17!

Abbott as PM will put his foot in his mouth on an almost daily basis and will make Rudd look like Jesus Christ! Yes and the book shall read: And on the 16/17 he arose from the dead and walked among us.

Perhaps you're right, Mr opinion, but I don't think there is room in the Labor Party for two show-ponies, or even one.

So the problem is: how to convice both Gilalrd and Rudd to resign from the Labor Party and allow a fresh generation of leadership to build a new Party.

While either of these turkeys is in Parliament, Labor is doomed.

My two-bob's worth :)

Dear Loudmouth,

Problem with your argument is that Rudd is no turkey!

Plus, with Gillard's career shot down in flames after September, who is there in Labor who can compete against him?

If you know of any bookies giving '1000 to 1 on' against Rudd returning to the leadership of Labor after September please let me know. Easy money!

Mr O I'm not quite sure just what Rudd would have to do to qualify as a turkey, & I sure don't think anyone should maligne turkeys in that way.

No definitely not a turkey, but most definitely one of the dirtiest bits of slime ever to appear in Oz public life.

How anyone could see that hand on heart "I'm keeping my promise" bit of tripe from the pathetic gutless slob, & not be disgusted I really don't know. I guess some Ozzies are just so thick nothing can get through.

Anyone with a promise from Rudd to back them, should be damn careful, just ask Beasley. They need not fear a knife in the back, or front, he doesn't have the guts of a Gillard. No it will be a slow drip of poison, administered in the dark, similar to what he is doing to the party that once elected him.

An on line poll on MSN asks the question “Do you think the ALP leadership crisis is over?” Responses say “NO” by about 6:1.

The ABC thinks it’s over, as do the ALP, Caucus, the Trade Unions and much of the progressive media. Given that these all got it wrong after the last time Rudd had a tilt at the windmill, I guess we can be certain the Rudd will find a way to continue to torment the entire Gillard government.

The majority of Australians don’t care either way as they will put an end to it in September, that will be a very definite end to it. Just like NSW, QLD and WA.

Gillard is doing precisely what Christine and Anna did, reducing the ALP and its parasites to a token rump.
