Title: Will Gillard be dumped?
Post by skippy. on Feb 19th, 2013 at 6:45pm
Will they do it? If so who will be the next PM? I'm not so sure it will be Rudd, he'll run but I reckon the Rudd haters will support a third candidate. The question is who?
Carr
Crean
Smith
Combet
Shorton
These are the only real contenders. And Shorton and Combet probably dont want to cruel their futures, so its a night watchmen, Crean Carr or Smith.The rest are very long odds, like Peter Garret is 250 to 1 .

help help someone has hacked skippys acc and posted a logical balanced post, gthank god for small miracles.

But no Gillard will not be dumped.

Rudd is hated and noone else wants to be the captain of the ship when it goes down at election time. More career opportunities after the election when most of the competition has been voted out??

I am hoping they keep gillard. Oh the gratification of watching her get booted from here to sunday.

But if they dont keep her, then I dont care who they pick, because it will be a short term option.

Anyone who puts their personal career above consigning Abbott to the dustbin of history has no right to lead us. That includes Julia Gillard.

Gillard will go after the election and Rudd won't replace her, both are proven failures.

Labor has plenty to choose from, unlike the Liberals. Who would replace Abbott? Not Turnbull, most Libs hate him.

Joe Hockey? Surely not.

in a few months he wil be PM so you might as well get used to the idea of polices that are implemented correctly, polices that make sense and a reduction in debt and deficit.

What sucks are the taxes Abbott will have to charge to pay for all his promises, if you claim he is paying back debt as well while the rest of the world see us as a great economy were all truly buggered.

I say let her be elected as PM on her own back or please apologise for the failed experiment for a first woman PM.

The only woman in parliament that is PM material is Julie Bishop, she go real well me thinks, even better than Abbott.

I wouldn't do Wong the disservice of throwing her in as a token mention. I'd love to live in a society where Wong would be seriously considered as a leader. I'm pushing for Rudd to reclaim the leadership for political reasons, but I'd much rather Combet or Wong.

Skippy wasnt nominating his preferred leaders, he was nominating the most likely suspects.

My wife thinks she is brilliant and my wife is like most Australians, far removed from what we talk about in this forum.

I didn't name Wong because she wasn't suitable or for that matter a great choice. I just watch the xenophobic chauvinist pigs on here and see this country is a long way from electing a gay Asian female as PM.

If you think no woman is suitable just because you believe one Woman was a poor PM, you have just defined yourself as a sexist. You really are obtuse, progs.

I think that a new leader is Labor's only possible chance. Sad that Australians would vote for Tony Abbott, and sad to see them fall for the media's propaganda and misrepresentation of Labor as a bad government, when they haven't been. I think that when it comes down to it, people couldn't accept a female Prime Minister. To answer the question, I think that Carr or Shorten should take it. Both are natural leaders and would win a lot of votes.

The 1 last hope is that Tony trips and his so tightly wrapped up he'll suffocate first.

If another female PM brings in the sexist card, then that will make it without a doubt, not worthwhile voting for a woamn.

Maybe Gillard is that pathetic after all and it is only her and the likes of her that would do such a thing.

Why the empty talk about Abbott's replacement?

He is doing fine so who, in the coalition, would be stupid enough to give him the shove?

Turnbull had his run and failed which was a pity because oratorially and his looks was impressive.

However, he lost credibility when he began to back Labor's fraud - global warming and carbon tax.

I guess you just ignored the last neilsen poll that has Abbott in front.

Here is another poll that has far more friends than you and they arent all political hacks like the little group you have, so you will get more diversity.
Yahoo 7 poll

Who would you prefer as PM - Gillard, Rudd, Abbott or Turnbull?

18772 votes

Julia Gillard            16% (3037)
Kevin Rudd            28% (5217)
Tony Abbott        33% (6252)
Malcolm Turnbull      23% (4266)

If Gillard goes all that Labor can do is roll in an old war horse like Crean, the upside for him is he can augment his pension, he'll have no misconception he'll ever be PM and just ride out the storm until the Union thugs can come up with another leader/PM hopeful in 10 years time.

No one with ambition for PM is gonna take up the poison chalice with Dullards lipstick all over it.

you are so funny...if rudd takes over he loses the whole front bench.....they are all gillard supporters...and hate him..then there are those with a foot in both camps.. crean for one..LOL>.

apart from labor doing its utmost to make Abbott out to be the worst choice....I havent heard one complaint about Abbott froma righty

god that must make you guys sick...every day someone from the labor party is saying something ominous about gillard..

if you really think us aussies are going to put up with anymore ex union bosses... you sure havent been reading the papers have you????

If Gillard goes all that Labor can do is roll in an old war horse like Crean, the upside for him is he can augment his pension, he'll have no misconception he'll ever be PM and just ride out the storm until the Union thugs can come up with another leader/PM hopeful in 10 years time.

No one with ambition for PM is gonna take up the poison chalice with Dullards lipstick all over it.




exactly everyone they have except rudd is tainted by the unions.. and look what the POWER of the union mob did to rudd... and we can see the hold they have over gillard..

has she said one word about corruption in the unions.. and at the moment they are riddled with it???

But no Gillard will not be dumped.

Rudd is hated and noone else wants to be the captain of the ship when it goes down at election time. More career opportunities after the election when most of the competition has been voted out??


Anyone who puts their personal career above consigning Abbott to the dustbin of history has no right to lead us. That includes Julia Gillard.


in a few months he wil be PM so you might as well get used to the idea of polices that are implemented correctly, polices that make sense and a reduction in debt and deficit.

that must suck for you.


How could what you say suck for me. Unfortunately, what you say is highly unlikely.


why unlikely? if history is any guide it is more than likely. it wont be as easy or quick this time, but it is certainly possible if only because at least Abbott is going to TRY to rein in debt and deficit spending. Labor dont seem remotely interested in it.

Labor will be dumped, not Gillard or Swan, Rudd, Short, Carr, Crean, Garrett, Combet, Thommo. They are the symptoms of why Labor will lose the next election.
And if Abbott stuffs up, he will be dumped after on term. The long reign of Howard will not be repeated for some time.

Paying off the $96B Labor debt got him 12 years

This time around the Labor debt is $250B - it should take abit longer.

It took Labor 12 months to change Workchoices - and they still use it 6 years on as a political weapon

So about should have plenty of ammo

Carr's part of the NSW disease, and he's a Senator, so rule him out.

Shorten is the natural leader, but I would think it highly probable that he doesn't want to take the poisoned chalice.

Combet is no leader.

Rudd is too damaged to come back.

Out of the list, Crean seems the most likely to me.

No need to rule him out just because he's a Senator though: there's nothing stopping a PM coming from the Senate.

These are the only real contenders. And Shorton and Combet probably dont want to cruel their futures, so its a night watchmen, Crean Carr or Smith.The rest are very long odds, like Peter Garret is 250 to 1 .

Kevin Rudd is the only man Abbott fears and the only one with any chance of winning an election.   And in my opinion, he is probably the only one in the ALP that we have an outside chance that he will consider his obligation before God in his decision making... 8-)

Abbott isn't afraid of Rudd, he's relishing the opportunity to thrash him at the polls as is every other Australian who was denied the opportunity because Dullard knifed him.

I also love all the lefty ravings about Abbott and religion, when Rudd is there front and centre of every church he can find (particularly ones with journo's posted outside) - now that is smacking funny.

Tony Abbott should learn to fear Gods judgment because the harshest punishment is reserved for leaders whose profession of faith is false..

Gillard would only be dumped for Rudd and I can't see this happening.

Rudd is a bit like Abbott - a better chance of winning but not a good PM.

It is a strategy where you lose when you win, something the Lib fans may have to come to terms with soon.

It's creepy.

He accuses a lot of conservative posters of being matty, and now, a non-conservative like me.

I guess I must be wrong for being disgusted that Abbott would be compared to someone who was responsible for the killing of 6 million people, and attempted murder of a whole religion of people.
