Let us hope the Anthony Albanese is a more balanced person to handle the of so important portfolio of Communications.

The one good thing, the only good thing to come out of the latest Labor debacle is that Stephen Conroy that stinking weasel and enemy of free Speech has fallen on his own sword.

This scumbag represented the biggest threat to Freedom of Speech along with Julia Gillard that this Country has ever seen.

Right, we know the enemy now. All we have to do is find the weak links and attack.
Shouldn't be too hard . . .just sticking a pin anywhere should do it.

A great team - I can the polls climbing again for Rudd.

He's making all the right moves.

What a great team. Joel Fitzgibbon, the MP who couldn't afford to buy his own suits. Tanya the perpetual undergraduate and sisterhood member who didn't back another member of the sisterhood.
Anthony Albanese, the Maltese pigeon. Tony Burke, the man who talks funny. Bill Shorten, don't turn your back on him.

What a team.

Certainly will be, Rudd is a  great campaigner.  Imagine (though I doubt it would happen)  if he took Labor over the line.  He would be elevated to Labor hero and Gillard as a wrecker. 

never heard of half of them... good old rudd making sure no one remembers his first coming as PM...the second coming will be a new experience for one and all.hehehehe.

C'mon, feigned indignation doesn't suit you. Ever since we made fun of the redhead from Queensland because of the way she spoke personal attacks are OK. Are we supposed to forget about that? Sorry, my memory works just fine. How's yours?

I wonder if they will replicate his pathetic first disastrous period in office if by any chance the Australian voter is as retarded as they have proved to be in the past when they were deceived into electing KRUDD and his minions last time?
