She'll be glad to get out.
Then the Libs can start on the demolition of Rudd, like shooting fish in a barrel.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Rudd ain't Gillard, he's still popular for some reason. He will certainly bring into relief how unpopular Abbott really is and with the election so close he could benefit from a honeymoon bounce as everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
I still think the election will be tighter than many think.

The only way she's going out is with her political corpse in a body bag.
Team Rudd must have got the 35 sigs for Julia Gillard to move.
Libs have already started

I think Gillard is up to something.
She has caught him of guard, he was probably expecting it to be tomorrow. She could win
If she loses, a vote of no confidence will go through and she will vote in favour and others will, Rudd will go to the early election and get smashed making him look like a fool.

It's too far from the election to benefit from a honeymoon period, the Libs have plenty of time to remind everyone what a useless tosser he is.
I don't usually drink on Wednesdays but this may be an exception.

Bob Katter will support Kevin Rudd. That means only one of either Tony Windsor or Rob Oakeshott needs to support Labor for the no-confidence to fail, assuming the others are unchanged.
Kevin Rudd is about to make an announcement (ABC24).

It's a two way street Burnsie, Abbott doesn't exactly win popularity contests. I'm amazed that Abbott has lasted as long as he has. Given the deep unpopularity of Gillard, he should be light years ahead in the preferred PM polls.
It'll be an interesting couple of months.

Certainty will be but Rudd has too much against him all the recorded criticism of him by his own party and so on...

Warm the set and cool the tinnies
I must say his voice is a welcome relief to Gillard's, she was a lousy communicator.

That's what he'll hoping his Caucus colleagues will think. I hope it's not what the electorate thinks because now more than ever I believe the Gillard leadership is in it's final two hours.Warm the set and cool the tinnies

Both have conceded the loser will step down from parliament, so surely this time it's the final fight to the political death for one of them.

Oh I agree soooo much.
However I hope Gillard wins so she can face the public at the election.
BUT if it is a draw will both resign?
Lindsay Tanner out of retirement?
Ferguson stands up?

A cameraman at the Rudd press conference noticed that Rudd had his fingers crossed behind his back when he agreed to leave politics if he lost.
If Rudd wins the ballot tonight he may have a problem on his hands to convince the Governor General that he (Rudd) has the comfidence of parliament to form a government.
Windsor and Oakshot will not support Rudd and if Gillard reisgns he (Rudd) will also have three less to make up the numbers and who knows it may also encourage some of Gillard's supporters to follow her and resign, in which case Abbott could be Prime Minister by the weeks end.
A general election may take place in the first week of August.

I agree Medico. How do these people get to slink away and avoid accountability. Let's ask Slater & Gordon about that.
Everyone, remember this moment when Prime Minister Abbott proposes a double dissolution. As he should, if the "unrepresentative swill" (P.Keating about the Senate) stand in the way of progress for our country.

Rudd is only popular compared to Gillard. Once she's out of the way everyone will remember how terrible he was/is too.
