I find it bizarre how the ASF right is in lock step with party policy and media 'message' control almost instantly, how is it so? not 5 minutes after the spin for the day is used...we have the usual chorus of the ASF right repeating same on these forums.
Calliope, noco, GG, Tranny..its time to come out of the closet and reveal that you guys are all young liberal stooges, posting on 100's of Aussie forums under 100's of names, trying to push poll your evil right wing agenda.
Com on guys...enough is enough!
Rudd has no power base within the party that's why he was removed so easily and didn't contest the spill ballot.
Rudd will cause problems but not be leader again soon.
Any talk about Shorten being a leader is naive IMHO.
For any party leader to get up they must have the numbers just ask Costello
Fall out for Gillard if she loses I don't think will be huge she will be the best leader in opposition to attack Abbott and attack with spite she will.
With a hung parliament its much better to be in opposition IMHO.

GG,
What about these lasses from the far right?
Who do you suggest constitutes the "extreme right"?Great so we will probably end up with a minority Liberal Government that has to pander to the extreme right to get anything done or a minority Labor Government that has to pander to the extreme left to get anything done.
Rudd will never be ALP leader. Far too much baggage and far too many ALP MPs hate his guts.
Kroger was talking up Shorten as a potential ALP leader because Shorten married into Liberal Party royalty (his ex-wife was related to the Pratts).
If we end up with a hung Parliament and a minority government, we'll be back in the polling booths inside two years tops.

Agree on all the above. The other factor I've been thinking about is Shorten's relationship via his partner being the Governor-General's daughter.
When the Tasmanian election resulted in a hung parliament (I'm pretty sure)
didn't the Tassie governor eventually make the decision as to who would form government?
It would be hard to avoid at least an impression of bias should the same happen federally.
I dislike Shorten. He has that baby faced innocence which totally belies his machiavellian nature.

She became the GG on the recommendation of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, maybe this might influence her decision making process as well?
The baby face became quite annoyed when Tony Jones mentioned the mother-in-law factor on election night. Chloe Bryce is actually his wife now.
TS ..
Quentin and Therese were great mates in QLD. Rudd made Quentin GG so that Therese wouldn't be lonely in Canberra.

She would - media are reporting a senior state govenor would step in if a decision had to be made.Quentin Bryce would have a conflict of interest and should stay out of any decisions that have to be made.
It all just gets messier and messier.She would - media are reporting a senior state govenor would step in if a decision had to be made.
More good reason why Abbott is the man who should take the reins of the out of control horse. Wooh there Dobbin. Slow down.
