There are tweets saying Roxon is resigning. Supposedly from Sky. Not sure if genuine.
Peter van Onselen is tweeting that Roxon will not contest next election. Others, without naming sources, are saying she will resign tomorrow.

Attorney-General Nicola Roxon and Senate leader Chris Evans are reportedly set to stand down from Prime Minister Julia Gillard's Cabinet.
The shock revelations come just two days after the Prime Minister announced the federal election would take place on September 14.
Sky News is reporting that Mark Dreyfus, who is currently the Parliamentary Secretary for Industry and Innovation, will assume the position of Attorney-General.
ALP vice-president Tony Sheldon has launched a ferocious attack on the political and moral crisis inside Labor and the toxicity of its most powerful faction, saying only a ground-up change of culture can restore its fortunes.
Speaking just days after Julia Gillard set September 14 as the election date and as Labor battles twin scandals in NSW, Mr Sheldon said the party faced a "catastrophic situation", with its brand damaged by a failure to focus on what matters to members and supporters.
Roxon's resignation confirmed.

I'm not at all happy that our system allows people of such low character into high office
Yes you have got to wonder how Abbott gets elected don't you?
"Small Business is tipped to stay in Cabinet and some believe Treasurer Wayne Swan should add that portfolio to his job to elevate the importance of the sector ahead of the election."
Emerson says Roxon is leaving politics to concentrate on her eight year-old daughter...poor little kid.

I can't see Roxon resigning, not even just from cabinet, this has to be scuttlebut surely
I was wrong. This is worse than I thought
I see they've trotted out 'family reasons' for both resignations. Except in rare circumstances this is just an excuse for something else, like rats deserting a sinking ship
