I can only guess at this point, but I reckon the party today is encouraging her to step down in favour of a third furniture-saving option.
More fizz than bang if it was to play out that way, but she would at least be no longer leading the party or the government.I think she's too proud to face a vote and that's what would happen.
Yet the former union officials and industrial lawyers who dominate the Gillard government are not prepared to confront these very real, very serious and very current matters of public interest very close to home. Instead, the factional warlords have turned the Labor Party's sights on to the print media; which has helped to expose these scandals.
One way or another, Labor can't kick the can down the road for ever.The whole "Gillard is going to resign in the next week" / "Labour will have a new leader by the end of the week" is starting to sound like the boy who cried wolf.
Of course, we all know if you keep saying it it might eventually come true.
Perhaps now I've commented she will make an idiot out of me?
Rudd doesn't have the numbers. I think she will survive again.It is highly likely that no-one wants to take the leadership from her at this point and have history record them as losing the election in September.

ALP has spread Europe's disease
BY:GREG SHERIDAN, FOREIGN EDITOR From: The Australian March 21, 2013 12:00AM
Six years of Labor government, by this year's election in September, will result in a new Australia. We have contracted the European disease. Labor has taken us towards the most spectacularly unsuccessful model of government in the developed world today. We will have almost all the European pathologies but none of the European security of a big local market and a benign security environment.
Europe's present distress is our future. Everyone knows that part of Europe's problem is excessive welfare. As Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has remarked, Europe has 7 per cent of the world's population, 25 per cent of global gross domestic product and 50 per cent of the world's welfare payments.
, but it's behind a paywall.
What a ruthless, savage and cunning woman we have as leader of this great country of ours.
It is highly likely that no-one wants to take the leadership from her at this point and have history record them as losing the election in September.
The differences within are really boiling to the surface now.
