It is all misogyny, glass ceilings and that [*BLEEP*] Rudd. Can't be anything else.

Now we will see the Real Julia, 'hyper-boles' and all. Hmmm, maybe another make-over might help.

I'm standing by the "Presumption of Innocence" for Ruddy. He's not been convicted in a court of plotting against the PM so any suggestion that he may have done so is just smear.

I told you so
I told you so
I told you so...

NOBODY WANTS THE JOB.

Now, just how long and how many more acts of incompetence do we have to endure before these so called independents say, enough, is enough.

What a joke.

"NOBODY WANTS THE JOB"

Butch, Rudd wants it but hasn't got the numbers. Personally, I'm looking forward to hearing nothing from the indiscrete and egotistical Joel Fitzgibbon, who promises now to shut his fat gob. Actions speak louder than words and all Labor MPs better get to campaigning rather than whinging.

We've witnessed the first step towards Labor winning the unwinnable election, as Keating and Lyons have done before.

What a great day. Rudd didn’t become PM!

That is just fantastic!

I was feeling gravely depressed this morning as it seemed that he was indeed going to rise from the ashes.

<< If he doesn't challenge he's a pathetic little woos. He'll have to resign from parliament, to preserve his ego. If he challenges & looses, he is a pathetic little man, no one wants. If he challenges & wins he's a pathetic lame duck PM, about to get his butt kicked by a bloke who can't string 10 words together. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. >>

Heheheeee!

Yes indeed Hazza.

Kevin Rudd kept his promise?.
He did not stand because his number crunchers told him, minutes before he spoke, he did not have the numbers.
He did have many more than last time, had he the numbers I think he would have been a candidate.
Rudd will never again lead the party.
He in my view will leave the party, this could be at the election, or soon after, QLD will vote solidly against Labor, as the polls show.
Gillard, backed by ALP PTY LTD, Shortens ex AWU team, AND Bill Ludwigs team inside and out of the Parliament, will as Crean [ back on track now] did in the Latham /Crean/Gillard trio, will pass her wounded leadership to her field Marshall, Bill Shorten.
Labor, now headed for an assured defeat, has two things that may lessen the loss, Abbott, and the unlikely as it seems,Labor may find the ability to sell its message, highlighting the carbon tax and in detail, Abbott,s planned reduction, same targeted reduction, and the quite silly way he proposes to get it done.
Poor fella my party.
