Implications?
Care to share your thoughts with us?
Conroy is having his Roxon moment, truly repressive draft legislation to muzzle the "hate media" prior to the election. This is the same Conroy who favoured an internet filter. He is dangerous.
Labor on the one hand postures as the friend of the asylum seeker, while on the other hand now sinks the boot into 457 visa workers.
Is a doctor in a country town, or a systems engineer in the Pilbarra, taking a job off an Australian. I'd say..rarely. It's confected nonsense from Labor, and utterly hypocritical, just to please Bill Ludwig and the union power base in an election year.
No wonder Caucus has had enough. If the Rudd government had "lost it's way", then what about this lot, they're completely bushwacked.
FETED like a prime minister-in-waiting during his tour through Geelong, Kevin Rudd is shaping as Labor's only chance at the September election, according to a Geelong Advertiser online poll.
The survey of more than 400 people found the Coalition would easily win the election with a 56.7 per cent primary vote.
But more than 17 per cent of voters would change their vote from Liberal to Labor if Mr Rudd were Labor leader.
Mr Rudd's popularity was on display for all to see during a walk through Corio Village yesterday.
The Rudddozer in action,
She won't stop him this time.
With the party in total despair, he has struck. He has waited for this moment. This is a full scale assault on her leadership in all but name only.
Julia Gillard is very quickly becoming party leader in name only.
It's all relative now.They couldn't possibly change from Gillard to Rudd at this stage, it would be a joke.
The polling is just voters winding them up, the would be an absolute laughing stock.
They couldn't be that dumb, could they? OMG they do take Swan seriously, anything could happen.
I wonder if they could parachute Ronald McDonald in, he smiles a lot for the camera.
It's all relative now.
How it could happen,

Indeed they are.They are toast, voters are over it.
The extraordinary part of the above was Joel Fitzgibbon's mocking performance:I think it's clear after the past few days that the battle for the Labor leadership is on again.

For Rudd and Gillard, this is their battle of Waterloo.
I can't think of any remotely similar complete breakdown of discipline within a party.Joel Fitzgibbon - chief whip before his efforts to urge Rudd to test his popularity in a leadership ballot with Gillard a couple of months ago came to a screamingly diverting halt when said Kevin baulked at the fence - opened the comedy festival with a TV appearance.
By lampooning the supposed ''talking points'' issued by the Prime Minister's office to blunt the effect of polls predicting Armageddon for the government (''polls come and go'' etc), he was aiming a lance directly at Gillard's own office.
I agree. The electorate would regard them with ridicule imo.They couldn't possibly change from Gillard to Rudd at this stage, it would be a joke.
The polling is just voters winding them up, the would be an absolute laughing stock.
