Thanks everybody - my friends [inaudible - not many left]

Today I stand before you with renewed hope for the Labor party. Hope because I'd thought we would win a seat and I was lucky to keep mine by a margin of 1% despite having a 70% cushion in 2010

We fought a great battle and have come up some 45 seats short to form government with another 5 likely to fall before my speech ends.

I am sadden to stand before you tonight. Sadden and relieved. Relieved to sit on the backbench like Ruddie did.

I was going to anoint my successor - but no one wanted the job not even Rudd

So in the days, months and years ahead as we start to bred and indoctrinate the next Labor leader - I say this to you.

Long live Stalin

Ahh - suck in - Swannie just lost his seat  ;D ;D ;D

Something in there about a 'party that had lost it's way' would be nice too maqqa. :)

The reality will be her rapidly rewriting history (like John Smith does)  of her glorious regime.

Could not care less, the quicker she is deported back to Wales the better.

I'm guessing you'll be calling for Abbott to be deported back to the UK when he ends up having to give his concession speech a few years in the future after he's gone on the nose with electorate (it happens to them all)?

I guess at least Mr Howard did the right thing and deported himself back to the USA after losing.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that Mr Abbott will be PM come the next election. How long he will be in for, I don't know... I'll guess now and say 3 terms unless he gets shafted from within, but they all end up being rejected by the electorate. They all get stale with time - some just quicker than others like the present bunch.

Hit the nail right on the head there

She's re-writing history to justify her mistakes
