The Gillard Government

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.

If Rudd wins, it will be awkward for, Swan and Conroy.
 
Reason for Rudd's challenge:

1. Many MP's pestered me to challenge - Kevin, you saying to yourself to challenge does not equal many MP's.
2. Many of the general public pestered me to challenge - Kevin, Therese telling you to challenge does not equal the general public.
3. A sh#thouse government lost its way - Kevin, there was no way, it was floundering even more than yours from day 1.
4. Someone with good policies and economic credentials needs to step in - Kevin, good point - who do you suggest?
5. The bogeyman Abbott will do bad things if he is not stopped - Kevin, yeah we need another 4 years of this crap!

Lets hope that it's a dead heat - they both lose - they both resign from politics - yipeee!
(Oh, thats right Kevin had his fingers crossed)

That would be the best outcome for Labor the longer Rudd is there the more comprehensive will be his demolition by the Libs, get him in then straight to the ballot box is their best bet.............wait and see.
 
Bill Shorten has deserted Julia Gillard and is now backing Kevin Rudd after saying for the past two weeks that he supported Gillard.

What a turn coat Shorten tuirned out to be.

Shortened the odds for Rudd to odds on...

Tarred with the same cowardly brush, you might say.....someone should tip a sack of white feathers over him while the tar's still hot and sticky...
 
With that spineless rat Bill Shorten jumping the sinking Gillard ship, her leadership is finished.

Sportsbet now has Rudd at $1.05 and Gillard at $8.00.

All that's left to wait for now is the Hitler parody.

He's just another bloody misogynist, woman hating, backstabber :D

She should have called the election last October, another dumb call by team Gillard.:xyxthumbs

I don't think Labor will be rushing off to England for campaign managers, in future.:D
 
Shorten turned rat and backstabbed Gillard for his own personal future advancement. Nothing to do with Rudd being the best person to lead them to defeat.
 
The fun in the Labor Party now begins. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.
The concession speech should make for interesting viewing.

This is the only loss for her that would be bigger than losing to Tony Abbott.

I didn't think Jools was all that fat?

Apparently, some feminista commentators (ABC seems to have lots of them tonight) seem shocked and bewildered that their Great Leader is no more. I expect to see hordes of placard waving, tear-streaked, blue tie slashing bra-burners marching on Parliament next week.

Ah, the fun times are back! ;)

Kevin has promised to keep Tim and the dog Reuben on in the Lodge if they want to stay.:cautious:

The unions still need an 'inside man', who cares if he's a turncoat, it's not about Bill.
 
It didn't take long: A New Dawn
