This leadership thing is quite funny. If Rudd takes it, there's no question he will win the next election running rings around the incompetent libs.
That's not to say I support him or anyone, but it is pretty funny.
He didn't really fail so much as he was removed by the mining industry in a coup d'état
of the Australian government.
He was removed partly because he was an A-hole to almost every member of the labor party.
And total disregard when it came to spending
not to mention jumping from one grand scheme policy to another and leaving nothing but a mess. The mining excuse was a small part in a much larger picture and sounds a little tin hat as the only reason.
Yes and the real takeover was by the unions, who have installed their preferred leader, with the Kim Sattlers of the movement running around propping her up. The Gillard Govt has dutifully wound back industrial relations to the 1970's, driving manufacturers offshore through surging costs of doing business, destroying Australian jobs, and vastly increasing the power of the unions.He was removed partly because he was an A-hole to almost every member of the labor party.

Remind me, what did the government under Gillard do to increase union powers?
Then why did they make him the leader in the first place? Why is there talk of him coming back now?

+1 on both the above posts. Labor are simply desperate and are therefore considering reinstalling Rudd which would be a disaster of the same epic proportions it was the first time round.Yes and the real takeover was by the unions, who have installed their preferred leader, with the Kim Sattlers of the movement running around propping her up.

It’s well documented he isolated himself from the rest of the MPs even those who put him in power.
Imo their only hope is the third option of someone bland and safe like Stephen Smith.
He, at least, doesn't seem to stir up the sort of fear and loathing that flows toward Gillard and Rudd.
Then who wants to put him in power now? Your claims are inconsistent.
Lol those in the marginal seats who want to save their ass at any cost by the look of it. Star the only inconsistency is labors words matching their actions.
Kevin Rudd didnt say he was a "changed man" and had "learnt from his mistakes" because he was trusted by the party.
If KR's support is as small as you make it out to be, I wonder how we have a leadership struggle at all?
Are you saying it's impossible he will become the new PM?

On a brighter note Tanya Plibersek was interviewed on a program on Sunday.
To listen to this woman speak and handle the political questions was something to behold.
To me she stands for everything that Gillard does not.
Its a crying shame she is not a member of the LNP.
How Tanya presented her self and spoke is what could be expected of a female PM.
One can be confident that her duties are being carried out with dignity and integrity.
Hopefully she can avoid being embroiled in the "mud slinging " of the PM saga.

The Fair Work Act 2009 and Regulations. And as reported in the media in recent days - unions may not now be prosecuted for industrial action if they subsequently reach a compromise with the employers - correctly summed up by Sen Eric Abetz as a 'licence to extort'.Remind me, what did the government under Gillard do to increase union powers?
The deadwood in the Coalition camp is nothing in comparison to the vast smoke plume, the deafening sound of war drums and the stench of burning Prime Minister that's coming from the other camp.BTW the Liberals have some excellent talent on the back bench but they will not see the light of day due the Howard dead wood brigade.
