OMG your reputation is accurate.

The fake caucus vote wont reassure voters.

I don't mind Pro-wrestling, but Labors choreography is getting predictable and tired.

Similarly,  their controversial new media reform package they knew would never pass both upper and lower houses in it's entirety was merely a diversion, a decoy, a way of subjugating our media who are ignoring  the elephant in the room.

Whilst Gillard insists her position as Labor leader has been emphatically confirmed after Kevin Rudd failed to nominate against her in a leadership spill this afternoon, there was never a doubt.
Rudd wont be returning as Labors leader.

So long as we take an interest, Fairfax & News Ltd will keep giving theses circus clowns oxygen, they will keep performing.

Labor will spill when Bill Shorten is good and ready to assume the leadership, even if this means dragging out a tired ineffective support act such as Crean in between.

For me, September cant come quick enough, for only when we the audience appear disinterested, and start focusing more on the elephant in the room will they spill and bring forward the election date.

Google---Unanswered Questions in Writing – Parliament of Australia.

Take your time, read the list carefully.

Our media need to be focusing more on unanswered questions, scrutinizing Bills before parliament and policy failures

According to The Australian,  The Victorian Police fraud squad investigation into the AWU "slush fund" scandal was drawing to a close.

This was three weeks ago, and we haven't heard so much as a whisper about it since.

Are they delaying the public release of the reports findings?



So many elephants in the room, so little time.....

i

Grey...  there is much more to it than that... 

she isn't anything but an exceptional woman, of unwavering determination... to get things DONE.  Bit scary is it?? 
That women ARE that strong.!!??

Go Julia  ... in this .. I am with you.

Bring on the election.. in September...  a week is a long time in politics...

Rudd was never viable .. he's a  nutso... 
Gillard is the only leader in the ALP worth shite..

Indeed she is, which explains why she goes from blunder to blunder and faces electoral wipe out.

  But don't get me wrong. I'm an Anarchist not a Tony Abbott supporter. It's just got to the stage with her attack on 457 visa holders that I couldn't pass a cigarette paper between them.

I don't think that's chance. I think they're both the product of a system that's fallen into complete corruption.  What I mean by corruption has more to do with the third law of thermodynamics than the passing of brown paper bags. Any system will fail. It doesn't make any difference whether it's a painting, a house, a hard drive, a universe or you and me. Over time little weaknesses grow into big weaknesses. The more complex a system is, the greater the rate of entropy, (think that's the word  ) .

Now you can carry out restoration work on an 'old master' or an important building. You can carry out repairs on people. But you can't put off the inevitable forever. We've extended the life expectancy of people by a decade or two, but it seems likely that's as far as it will go. Of course people are an organic self replicating system which is both as good and as complex as you can imagine.

So for a political system I think it silly to think you don't have to rebuild regularly. Especially given that it's in symbiotic relationship with so many other systems like the financial system; which has been allowed to decay into abstraction.

Obviously you have nothing to say on topic . . . .

SOB

They all got 100% behind the leader to foil a media driven spill - looks like the opposite of a shambles to me.
