What a choice for Labor.No point, if he took over the Libs would rightly point out that they (Labor) hate his guts and will roll him after the election anyway,
What a choice for Labor.
One between the devil they know and the devil they know.
Rudd has the numbers.
Julia will be retiring from politics tonight.
Yes and Rudd has the backing of Bill Shorten.
Kevin 07 is back with 57 to 45 votes. Gillard will resign.
I really do feel for the ALP true believers. The grassroot Labor supporters are a good lot, badly served by the Unions, Factions and Rich Leftoids in power.
Having to chose between Gillard and Rudd is akin to being left with two pieces of bait at the end of a hot days fishing, both limp, wet and coming apart, an eskie empty of grog and catch, and an ominous storm brewing between your anchorage and harbour.
Let us hope for the sake of a good opposition during the inevitable Coalition government to come, that the ALP chose a good compromise candidate.

Yes, for the good people in Labor and their supporters it looks like the party can get back to some stability for awhile and focus on policy, rather than the voting public focusing on the party and it's internal troubles.
As a good fisherman knows, often the smelliest old bait is the best for a big catch.
Oh lord, Whiskers, you must be dreaming. The Labor Party is a divided debacle. Any superficial papering over the deep fissures by Rudd's egocentric presentation will be short lived imo.Yes, for the good people in Labor and their supporters it looks like the party can get back to some stability for awhile and focus on policy, rather than the voting public focusing on the party and it's internal troubles.
The 2 party preferred from the poll released today has the Noalition and Labor 50/50 with Rudd as leader...i would say that the case for change is now compelling considering the time left before the election.
Kevin 13 has a kind of ring to it? :dunno:
That will be the day! Rather, a Rudd who has been extraordinarily successful in his quest for revenge.We have half a chance now, a reinvented Rudd that's humble
We have half a chance now, a reinvented Rudd that's humble and has learnt from his mistakes has some appeal, certainly more than Julia.

Doubt it. Once a wanker always a wanker.
Yeah it will be great can't waitThe change of leadership may save a few seats and even hold off a Senate majority for the libs but the die has been cast. We are still destined for at least one term of Howard's protege and darling of the far right. Say goodbye to the moderates of the Liberal party as we usher in economic rationalism and the policies of the far right.
The champagne corks will still be popping in the boardrooms of the business elite who can count on policies that will entrench their power, influence and wealth at the expense of the 99%. The pending election of Abbott will be a journey back in time, we've been there before with Howard and the results will be the same except with a harder edge.

I've got to admit Abbot's not the best the Libs could do, I'd prefer Turnbull...even though he's an ex banker.

Yeh, everyone prefers Turnbull, untill they get him.
A bit like Rudd had to go and everyone would love Gillard, what a joke.
Laborites, would love Turnbull.
Please gg, anything but sorry for the b.To be fair to Labor, something had to give, and it gave tonight.
Rudd is a challenging little control meister.
Interesting times ahead, they have lost many good frontbenchers and recalled a man described by their own as a psychopath.
As in all these situations I feel sorry for Julia Gillard.
