The NSW Labor party, currently depleted almost entirely of parliamentary talent, is making overtures to members of Gillard's front bench with  Western Sydney electorates.
The numbers people in Sydney believe that Chris Bowen, Jason Clare, David Bradbury and Tony Burke could all lose their seats and are urging them to switch to NSW politics.
It is even being suggested that Chris Bowen could become Opposition Leader.
They will have around 2 years to wait for an election however.
I wonder is the threat of this transfer another cunning ploy by Gillard to encourage NSW to vote Labor just to keep them away from here.

how desperate are they?? well we know I guess BUT THAT DESPERATE...

a bunch of "F" for FAILS.


no one can think of one person that could run the Fed Labor ship.. not one of them....

god help us if this is all the talent we have in this country.

Reeks of a little bit of Murdoch scuttlebut.

He was hardly going to put the poll results on the front page of the tele.

What talent was that in the first place ?

Robbo needs to go, he is the worse state opposition leader I can recall.

If the NSW election was held now the ALP would be cut in half again, unless Abbott really screws up in the next year I can't see any of these soon to be out of a job federal MP's helping much...... the NSW ALP stench of corruption will hang around for a decade or so.
