Dear spindoc,

I have only one thing to say:

Go Gillard! You definitely are the feisty bitch you keep telling us that you are!

I heard some gits saying something like Gillard is a tough Lady. That's no tough Lady, she's a sheilah with egoistic stubbornness.

I really do not like Julia Gillard for a myriad of reasons but what about we just drop all the abuse? Here at least we should pick up shortcomings of people rather than just throw insults.

No not buying the thought Rudd did not want the job.
He begged for it.
After numbers men found he probably would not win he caved in, he should have stood.
The Conservatives here will not let light in, on their anti Labor thoughts.
The polls said he was wanted.
A faction Lord won.
He will be Labors next leader, look good doing it, to most, not all.
He like Gillard, is uninterested in party reforms.
Rudd let me down yesterday,along with himself and his followers inside and out.
Gillard, is not bright enough to be that shrewed rodent living in the out door dunny.
Look only at the failed policy,s with her name on them, however Shorten, her successor, will look at keeping Rudd from leaving, give him a ministry.
He has a part to play in our country,s future, it is not in federal politics, he finished that yesterday, hiding from opportunity to rebuild the party.
Shorten stands just out side the spotlight , but has the power to see Rudd is offered a role.
After all his power breaker partner can bring men to his office wearing red undys on their head, and to produce failed policy,s that bought us to yesterday.

Dear JB,

Thank You for your reasoned appeal although I
suspect it will fall on deaf ears.
Intolerance is the most socially acceptable
form of egotism. It permits certain people to
assume superiority without personal boasting.

<< I never seriously considered Bob Carr, for various reasons:

1 He is a senator, which makes it difficult to lead the lower house. >>

Shadow Minister, he COULD be PM and remain in the Senate:

Now this is something that might just work strongly in Labor’s favour – having a PM who is a senator. Just simply this difference could present an interesting new aspect to Australian politics that people would be willing to support… not least because we are all heartily sick of the current setup and are really hanging out for something a bit different.

This in combination with Carr’s eminent credentials for the position could be a Labor winner!

Well, old KRudd did the best thing he’s ever done and not challenge Gillard. But I reckon the leadership wrangle is not yet over, because Gillard really does have stuff-all chance of winning the next election. Labor’s got to do something really different, and that’s the bottom line.

A sustainability-based policy platform, led by Carr, from the Senate. What a wonderful idea!
