One would hope at least that her performance in the Senate yesterday might earn her some media training so she can present herself to the public in such a way as to not diminish any valid point of seriousness that she's raising.If she can modify the over-the-top stuff, I think she's a pretty impressive performer.

Gillard.What about Conroy, any chance he will go? (I can't remember if he is in the Rudd or Gillard camp).
Gillard.
The ABC has an updating list of the fallen, the replacements and the Gillard supporters Kevin Rudd still needs in order to assemble some sort of front bench.

Of the eight fallen, five thus far are not recontesting and Stephen Smith while listed in the first group of eight will maintain his defence portfolio till the election.
Why should it be locked? It's a valid commentary on an important part of Australia's history. People might still wish to add their comments.390 pages in this thread for a leader that was 3 years in the job...with probably 90% of the content posted by 12 people or less.

Or perhaps some of us just have a strong interest in politics. Maybe not necessary to brand us in any derogatory way. There has never been any requirement for you to read or participate in the thread if you find it tedious.70% by the top 12 posters. Looking at the stats, some people have wayyy to much time on their hands.
Thanks. Oh happy days, no more Conroy as Communications minister!!!
There was a suggestion on Insiders that Rudd might offer him the job back.

Mr Rudd has undoubtedly convinced himself that he, and he alone, is the shining knight the nation has been hoping and waiting for. But he is wrong.
He has not resumed the leadership because the ALP suddenly realised it had made a terrible mistake in dumping him, certainly not because he has managed to unite the party, and not because he has outlined an irresistible package of policy visions to the public.
He is there simply because enough self-interested MPs, panicked by the prospect of losing their seats, finally came to the conclusion that he is the best of a very bad bunch.
According to this book "The Stalking of Julia Gillard" by Kerry-Anne Walsh, neither Rudd nor the Opposition nor the Press come out of this with clean hands.

That came out in a hurry, what a load of old rubbish, when will people finally realise no one "got" Gillard but herself and it's nothing to do with gender, why don't people make the same comments about Julie Bishop ? because she's smart not a nasty venom spitting reptile like Gillard was, Rudd couldn't "get" anyone he's useless, Gillard shot herself in the foot every time she opened her mouth.
