Runner,

What will Julia do if she loses? Brace yourself! I believe the saying 'Hell hath no fury greater than a woman scorned' will apply in this instance.

This is a person who will not go gracefully, nor forgive anyone in politics who she feels has contributed to her demise, or even we the people, for voting her out.

I don't know worldwatcher, I think she has well & truly proved herself incompetent enough to offered a senior post at the UN, & bugger off quick time.

God wouldn't that upset old Ruddy, if she got what he was angling for.

I reckon they will have to use plastic knives at any Labor leaders old boys, [& girls] meetings for many years to come.

worldwatcher - the man has some admirable old fashioned principles and values

Huh ?? You mean like torpedoing One Nation in order to avoid accountability, siding with the red-headed witch to get a criminally exorbitant salary increase & doing a deal with the female reincarnation of Lucifer on the electoral funding issue without having the decency to mention it to his party ?? Values & principles like that I can do without.

We should watch this weekend and the next two weeks in Parliament.
The odds are right now she will remain.
And in doing so inherit a name more sullied than Latham,s in the party.
No one can tell how bad the wreckage will be just that it will be.
My rantings [in the eyes of a few fellow travelers] will be in common use after we smash on the rocks at Gillard point.
How much braver it would be, if only those plaintive voices to come spoke out now not post tragic near death of my party.
In the right hand my party can go very close still.

Belly - The odds are right now she will remain.

The witch is clearly far too arrogant to step down, regardless of the damage it causes the party. As someone else noted 'hell hath no fury'. Furthermore, she'll be wanting to ensure the higher PM retirement perks apply, similarly to GoAnna the Blight who subjected Queensland to the cost of a by-election simply so she could maximize her rip-off.

<< Nah, you're going to have to bite the bullet old mate, & vote for at least some improvement. Abbott for ever! >>

Wow Hazza, what an extraordinary contradiction!

‘Some improvement’, ‘Abbott’!?!? ( :>/
