Desperation is setting in as it gets nearer to voting time. Kevin Rudd isn't going to be your saviour, and the fella with the long head Wee Willie Shorten has difficulty stringing two words together, so his support for KRudd isn't going to help.

You're stuck with Dillard.....

If it's all the same, I think I'm going to take the word of Matty, a highly regarded Politician and the next prime minister of this country, over you. Who are you, and what authority do you hold? Typical leftard.

I have heard two theories on all this.

The obvious one that Rudd gets put back in as the leader then off to an election in August.

The other one is that it may not be Rudd but for sure the ALP are like a bunch of nervous sheep.
This one comes from one of the noisier ALP Sheep.

Something is going to happen in about 2 weeks.

My view is the ALP have to try to reaffirm Gillard's leadership, I think there will be a challenge either way, too many ALP MP's are clearly off the reservation and no one is respecting the Office of the PM, not even many senior ALP MP's.

veteran ABC reporter Barry Cassidy, who has contacts on both sides of parliament, said he believes Labor will change leader before the election. But he didn't say if he thought Rudd would be the one taking over.

My question is, if Rudd stands and loses the election, will he remain opposition leader after the election?

gandalf

Cassidy is completely left wing geez have you been to the ALP school of political judgement ?

He must of heard the same rumours I have heard may not be Rudd, I would not trust anything ALP sources say right now, this is the most dysfunctional I have seen any party federal or state. A chocolate wheel would be more strategic than the ALP right now.

Reply #35 - Jun 9^th, 2013 at 9:38pm labor is so low now under Gillardhead that such a late change of leader is quite feasible. I am keeping my Kelpie, Border Collie cross out of sight. Although she is way too smart to accept an offer to lead Labor. And so much better looking than Gillardhead as well.

The ALP are providing work for the media/cartoonists is about the kindest thing I can say

I like the one they had on Insiders where they drew Custer's last stand, Abbott is the Chief indian ..... looking down at the ALP butchering each other with a very confused look.

I agree, Fred. It's going to be a very interesting few weeks, that's for sure. I just can't see that many MPs being prepared to walk off the cliff with her.

This said my hope is that she isn't deposed. The Coalition will win by a greater margin than if Rudd is, but either way, we will win.

I can't see why Rudd can't challenge at the very last possible moment and call an election

The AEC have been at the ready for an election due to a hung parliament so we're all set

If the leftards had listened to you, Matty, they could have made a fortune on Sportsbet.

Typical. They’d rather lose their shirts than take sound advice.

Matty, were you posting from Dunedin? How did you get onto the internet?

PLEASE EXPLAIN.

Why? Does it matter if he stays opposition leader? Would Abbott stay opposition leader if he loses?

now , the scene is this

the titanic is 1/2 way under.

gillard is standing in the captains room, with "not a clue"

all the snivelling little members from western sydney and qld are wailing to bill shorten, the safety officer from the maritime union "save us, save us"

old slowcoach bill is wandering up and down the deck trying to find kevvie.

kevvie is off in a lifeboat, rowing like F*ck to get the hell out of there Wink

when kevvie gets rescued (and this could be as late as sept 14) he will tell stories to the media of the heroism he dislayed in rowing off to get help.

the owners of the titanic will give him a nice little job in some embassy in china where they are setting up a cruise terminal and hopefully we never hear from that weasal again .

fair dinkum, the man knows NOTHING of mateship and is less in tune with the average aussie battler than malcolm turnbull. why would you want him Wink

The rumours I am hearing is that it may not be Rudd.

Personally I doubt they will put Rudd back in, if it was a 100% guarantee of victory it would have already happened.

Even the polling suggests they will be short by 3-4 % from victory which is a typical election loss.

In reality I would not trust the ALP Chinese whispers right now, they are so far from united right now its pure guess work even for many of the ALP MP's.

Maybe they should use the following as the ALP campaign song:

Harry would roll in his grave.

I am sure the Libs could come up with some name insertions and other Lyric changes.
