  1. He was in a bit to $3.75 earlier this morning. It wouldn’t surprise me if Gillards supporters dropped a bunch of cash to shift the odds.

  2. On other ALP survival issues, I heard that the NSW police strike force into HSU corruption raided a home this morning – apparently the printer who claims he made secret commissions to Thommo and others.

  3. A poll in the left leaning West Australian of preferred PM:

    Gillard 9%
    Rudd 38%
    Abbott 39%

    None of the above was giving Gillard a hiding also.

  4. And for those that think Oakeshott or Half Windsor would ever abandon the lying filth, have a butcher’s at these odds:

    Coalition $1.20
    Oakeshott $4.25

    Coalition $1.32
    Windsor $3.40

  11. So what happens on Monday, does Rudd get his nose thoroughly rubbed in it to the extent he decides to resign from Griffith forcing a by election? Will Peter Beattie then step in to save the day (and Anna while he is at it?)

  16. I don’t think he’ll withdraw. The perfect Rudd scenario is a Newspoll suggesting he’s as popular as cold beer on a hot day and then the ALP carcass rejecting him.

    Martyrdom will then be complete.

  31. actually in today’s AFR, it’s reported that Rudd is offering to retain subsidies to the car industry in his pitch to win leadership.

    it’s bad enough they engage in vote buying during elections, now they do it in leadership challenges too.

    worst governments ever.

  32. Hi Alan,

    I’m an old fashioned conservative lady who’s been utterly horrified by the recent monstrous, petulant behaviour of that egomaniacal marshmallow, kevni ruff.

    He obviously has no respect for women – I mean look at his poor daughter for example, reduced to swearing like a wharfie on that new fangled twatter jiggery pokery – and don’t get me started on that wife of his.

    But his attacks on the woman left to pick up the pieces of his disastrous tenure as Prime Minister are truly beyond the pale. juliar has moved heaven and earth forward in an attempt to put the hideous ruff disaster behind us. She’s implemented a far reaching social justice and pro-environment agenda based on honest communication with voters as well as policies and programs rooted in the most stringent, economically sound foundations. Her prudent spending of taxpayers’ dollars will become the stuff of legend, mark my words.

    As a leader she’s proven to be both a peerless communicator and a canny negosheeaytah. Her principled partnership with both the greens and the vastly underrated, selfless and much abused rural independents has demonstrated her pragmatic approach to gaining and remaining in power for the benefit of all Australians.

    As for Tonee Yabbott, he really can’t take a trick, can he? It’s interesting that the only person who’s been able to destabilise juliar’s sterling stewardship has been ruff. Yabbott’s been flailing around like the brain rattled pugilist he is, succeeding in little other than belting himself repeatedly in the face. Bring back squire turnbull, now there was an excitement machine!

    Yes Alan, juliar and malcolm, the only two politicians who truly have this great country’s interests at heart.

    But this is better. It does not get any better. Thank you, Kevni, from the bottom of my heart, the gift that keeps on giving.

    You will end up doing what the Liberal party could never do – make the ALP unelectable.
