I don't put much credibility in polls, untill it really counts.
However, it will put the wind up an already shaky government.
The splash of cash will be coming to a letterbox near you.lol
 
If women voters continue to walk away, it all over.

A Rudd return must be in doubt now. He will read the tea leaves, it's a poisoned chalice.

It IS all over and Rudd, I think, will be content with watching Gillard crash and burn, he wont want the job, it's been trashed, but he is enjoying this immensely.
He really is a dag, we're well rid of the whole party frankly.
 
Two polls in the last two days have shown similar much increased support toward Tony Abbott, even for women, and I doubt Ms Gillard would ever have anticipated him coming out as preferred PM.
I don't quite know why such a marked change has occurred. Her involvement in the dud mining tax?
A gradually dawning realisation that the whole sport doping horror has turned out to be a government diversion from their own problems? An awareness that the world's greatest treasurer is looking very shaky on his feet?

Julia, I believe the majority of voters just don't trust Julia Gillard any more. It is quite simple to understand her modus operandi.

I can't see us having to wait until 14th September. I believe an election will be held before then because the Labor Party are about implode big time.

It's the surplus, it's the mining tax, all shreds of credibility have now gone.........Rudd is enjoying this no doubt.

Let's face it they are stupid, why would they promise a surplus without qualification for instance ???

Stupid...and no ne wants stupid Govt and thats what we have now.

Who for instance thinks for a minute that the recent $1B promise will be delivered...........no one.

+1

This tragedy has gone on long enough.

5 years of incompetence endured by Australia. We deserve an early election.
 
IMO now that the libs have got some good momentum going, its all down hill from here for labor.
Its basic psychology where by everyone is starting to favour abbott so those who were hesitant to vote for him will now be more inclined to vote for him; once one goes, others will follow

He then refuses their request.

The begging of him to return gives him the pleasure of rubbing Gillard's nose in the pooh for what she did to him. He might even be able to get some of the people who bad mouthed him when he challenged last year and who want to curry his favour to also bad mouth Gillard. When Gillard is sufficiently bloodied and humiliated and every one kept in suspense for a few days, he then refuses the request, knowing that it would only be a poisoned chalice. He has the fall back excuse of claiming he said he would not seek the leadership.

That would in my view be the most practical choice for Kevin Rudd.
 



Sock it to her Lady!

Every time I watch Question Time seeing him in the background reminds me of this video. What a hoot!

Sadly this video is still relevant.

Julia got fed! she beated around the bush big time there.

also one thing that really sh*ts me with Labor is the way they think everyone is stupid. Just look at how condescending they both are to that woman, who obviously knows what they are talking about. Julia is the worst at it

KEVIN Rudd would catapult Labor into an election-winning position if he was reinstalled as leader, according to a new Galaxy poll taken for The Courier-Mail.

A comeback by the former prime minister would deliver a massive 14 percent boost to Labor's primary vote, putting it in line to seize two thirds of the seats in Queensland.

The poll of 800 Queenslanders found federal Labor's support, with Prime Minister Julia Gillard at the helm, was stuck on 33 per cent support - close to its primary vote at the last election.

This would see Tony Abbott lead the Coalition to victory by 55 per cent to 45 per cent on a two party preferred basis in Queensland if preferences flowed as they did in 2010.

But Labor's primary vote would soar to 47 per cent in Queensland if Mr Rudd returned to the leadership and faced off against Mr Abbott, the poll found.

Under the Rudd scenario, Labor's Queensland preferred vote would be 53 per cent to 47 per cent for the Coalition giving the ALP a potentially winning edge.

Kevin Rudd sulks after losing the Labor leadership ballot.

If Mr Rudd somehow takes the top spot again, there will be no dearth of material for the Liberals. Steve Gibbons, the Federal Member for Bendigo, said "only a psychopath with a giant ego would line up again".

Ms Gillard said there were months of "paralysis and chaos" under his leadership.

Former leader, Regional Affairs Minister Simon Crean, said he was "disloyal" and never "accepted party discipline".

Environment Minister Tony Burke talked about his "stealth", his "undermining campaign", and said that he was impossible to work with.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said that he had "contempt for the Cabinet, contempt for Cabinet members, contempt for the caucus, contempt for the Parliament".

"For somebody to be engaged in destabilising and giving Tony Abbott a chance to win the last election is an absolute disgrace," he said.

Former Health Minister Nicola Roxon said he was not the "messiah".
