If I was a betting man I would place $50 with a bookie that one K.Rudd will not be the Foreign minister by Friday Week. He's become such a large boil on the arse of Labor that they've got no choice but to lance it quickly.

Come in spinner. Goneski already. He must have read my post and decided to quit

PS - My prescience scares me.

Hey sausage ! Tatts numbers please !

Gives up on leadership aspirations? Pity he didn't give up on political aspirations 20yrs ago

Damn Labor - weren't elected properly with a clear majority, and instead of the re-vote that should have happened they sided with the greens so they could get in. Since then we have had a leadership change (person we never voted for) and maybe now another leadership change. Democracy? Hardly

Well it seems likely that we'll eventually end up with the mad monk, Dr NO

any which way you look at it we're screwed

The Leftards will push Joolia through, KRudd is gone. ALP are in a mess

Who are we betting on come Monday by the way?

I suspect Rudd is the people's choice, he was very popular (the most popular ever at one stage), but it seems he busts too many asses in the workplace. not toeing the public servant line.

I would like to see Turnbull v Rudd.

I doubt if Rudd will even stand......(again)

LOGGY!!!!

I think you are right!

How's life at work mate, must be fun with all this going on. Need to re-apply after Bill Shorten slips in from the side and takes the PMship easily from vile Gillard

Live life without honesty, integrity and respect, and you become wretched. Consumed by your own demons and the guilt of your deceptive behaviour.

I would go with that. They would be opponents worthy of each other and whichever won would hopefully not have to rely on Greens or Independents to stack the numbers.

It is the minor parties that need to be kept honest these days.

Only half agree with you there Panda - Turnbull is one of a very few decent politicians running around out there at the moment. It was such a shame his personal belief (supporting an ETS) did not correlate with the party line and when push came to shove he wouldn't compromise his ideals. I believe there is an altruistic motive at the core of Turnball's political ambitions, whereas in Rudd's case it's purely driven by an ego larger than we've ever seen the likes of before. He has cut off Labor's nose to spite its face and I can't fathom that the general public think he has been hard done by irrespective of Joolia's deficiencies (perceived or actual).

Megalomaniac is the only way to accurately describe Rudd.

2nd that Malcom should be our next PM(after election) Abbott is a simply irritating Dr No, Rudd is a typical Queenslander in love with his ego( queensland has the highest sales of mirrors)

Put them all in a U.F.C ring.see who comes out.
They are the next P.m could not be any worse than the crap that's going on now.

I do not have enough red thumbs for this thread haha

Personally, this is the best situation....out of all the worst situations(if ya know what I mean) that the party could have hoped for. The worst would have been an undeclared war between the forces that went on all the way to the election. I'm sure the conservatives would have hoped for a guerilla war until they won the election. This way the air will be cleared as Rudd will go to the back bench weather he stands or not. So hopefully Gillard will be able to assert her superiority over Abbott in the year before we go to the Polls. A year is a long time and sure Gillard is coming from a long way back but she'll have the momentum and a good policy and economic record to show the electorate. The coalition will have to lift their game and my feeling is Abbott may be found wanting.

But it is the worst situation for the country.

With real problems needing to be fixed, and complicated matters to attend to, they can't even decide on a leader.
Like somebody said above, if it was a private company it would be on the rocks.

Is 2 leadership changes in one term unprecedented? (I dunno if it is, but it is poor)

The election was only the second time in history that there was no clear majority (like I said before, we should have gone back to the polls rather than score a Govt based on backroom deals we are not privvy to) - so they are lucky to be there but still can't get their sh!t squared away.

So true.

The Labs are so self-absorbed; they see nothing other than the best situation as being what is best for them.

To paraphrase Malcolm Turnbull - The Liberals work to help you do what you think is best for you. Labor works to help you do what they think is best for you.

if i was K rud i'd have a crack,

if i won, i'd sack all of the loud mouths to the back benches
if i lost, i'd resign from labor, become an indipendant and cross the floor.
