A good point.
It will be interesting to see how the internal ALP politicking takes this step out of the darkness in to murky waters.
Trish Crossin, and all the Rudd camp must be gobsmacked.

You sound like you were living in a cave during the GFC, you know the greatest financial calamity in 70 years..that GFC....and the mining tax hasn't actually raised any money yet, cost = 0
It will be impossible to change leaders now without sealing their doom even more than now if thats possible.
Gillard is acting alone for her own benefit, Labor insiders must be furioius but there's nothing they can do, she is much more cunning than even they thought possible.
I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to provide the substance behind Julia's press conference today, beyond the election date announcement.I'm guessing the advantage is that now the pressure is on 1 vote Tony to release policy's, i think its a smart move by Julia, 8 months is an extraordinary amount of time to be in election mode...Tony will be exposed to expectations that may find him wanting.
She is more tha cunning, she is a crafty, coniving liar of the first degree.
Whoever put the poll on this thread can't spell.
A typical product of the education revolution
What's the earliest someone can do a postal vote?
I just want this done, out of the way, ASAP. Then I can put my earplugs in.
I have just had a mental vision of you kissing babies, prawn.I think i could do it if i was given the job, i am just not phoney enough to go and do all the bullsh1t meet and greets and pretending to care stuff to get votes. Once i was in the job i think i would be able to be fairly honest, its getting the job that corrupts and makes people want their 'favours' in return
I think you have it exactly, Burnsie.It will be impossible to change leaders now without sealing their doom even more than now if thats possible.

Abbott 5 to 1.LOL...that would be me
Abbott? Abot? Abbbott? Abbott?
I was watching Sky News while doing a 45 minute workout during Graham Richardson's segment today. Tony Abbott's new ad ran 4 times during that period. I am sick of it already. Another 8 months of that and I am ready for the lunatic asylum.
That's good.lol
Best you do a postal vote before you go, Julia will need it.
And a big cash splash. The words '..drunken sailor..' come to mind. And by Sept 2013, the net national debt will be... $200Bill?....$250Bill?...more? Now that they've quietly shelved the promise of a surplus, not important anymore apparently.Polish the baseball bats folks. She's announced the date.
This will be a very, very long campaign.
Yes the Treasury will be mobilized for sure, and there's the me-too policy factor. But perhaps this is as much about internal politics, i.e. heading off Rudd.I think she is trying to force the coalition to roll out policy early, then get treasury to try and fault it. She knows Abbott would have held off as long as possible, to stop the government just ripping off policy...
Good move I reckon.
Abbotts continual whining and whinging will reach brain numbing
status by then.
If he keeps to topic and leaves the slanging match out of it
we wont all be dead from boredom and capable of casting a vote.
