Posted on December 20, 2012 by Sinclair Davidson

Sportsbet has a new market.

Notice that “Continue as Prime Minister after the election” isn’t on the list.

    2-6 in Bandyup would be nice.

    With a bit of a bet Gillard could make a lot of money as a hairdresser :-)

    They should have “media commentator” on the list. Her bogan accent would go down a treat on Q&A.

    If Mark Latham can get a gig in media, anyone can.

    “Die” of shame should be on there.

    Yes. I did go there.

    Or maybe promise another budget surplus…..

    Yeah, she’ll write her “memwoires” for sure.

    Really don’t care what does as long as we don’t have to see or hear from her ever again.

    What is more embarrassing?

    ‘Continuing as PM’ not being on the list or ‘Continuing as PM’ being on the list but at a price well in excess of ‘Becoming a hairdresser’.

    I’ve been waiting for the betting market to start a book on Ms Gillard. I’d put my money on a wedding. Timmy will spring it on her either Christmas Day or New Years’.

    By the way, in what sense and for what reason is Julia Gillard being described today as “on leave”?

    WTF?

    Since when do national leaders go “on leave”?

    Slater & Gordon (partner majority) probably rue the day she ever darkened their doorstep, despite naming a conference room after her. Their dislike of her may yet intensify in 2013, when we get back to the matter of trying to get some answers from her about the slush fund scandal.

    I think emigration is not so unlikely. She is looking well qualified to take on responsibility for media advice to the British Labour Party.

    She won’t be the only one writing memwarz. There will be a hefty gang of ex-Labor-MPs needing to distance themselves from the disastrous Gillard Years. (“Was it only years? Somehow it seemed quite longer!”) They will be needing to position themselves for post-governmental work requiring no actual skills.

    That book looks like taking candy from a baby (from Sportbets point of view). the most likely result is none of the above, because it has to happen in 2013, after the election. If the election is as late as october/november, then assuming she doesn’t win, she is unlikely to do very little in the rest of 2013. A clever way for sportsbet to fleece the punters.

    I was also curious about the lack of support for november as election month – I have always though they would go as late as possible, given the polling.

    Instead of Emigrate to another country, it should say, “Be Deported to another country”. More fair and reasonable.

    SteveC, a November election means campaigning through October. The voters will not be impressed with a PM who stuffs up the final season and Spring Carnival and would be unreceptive to her blandishments. Given a choice between watching the Grand Final or TLS, the match would win every time. Ditto studying the Melbourne Cup field.

    Cold-Hands, a differnt view is that she will want as many distractions as possible during an election campaign to hide behind. Coupled with the old adage of hanging on for as long as possible to see what turns up, suggests a November election is likely.

    It’s a horrible thought that we may have close to a year of misery and BS from her cheer squad before we can be rid of this pestilance.

    Good odds she’d head into Obama’s marriage for some upkeep of the kudos. It’s in her skillset. She could start as some sort of adviser as he throws her a kindly bone in the US to help her out. Sorta like an ‘intern’ only more prestigious; end result the same though.

    #678471, posted on December 20, 2012 at 11:33 pm

    Election campaigns from the issuing of the writs to the actual polls generally run just over a calendar month in duration, so depending on when the poll is actually called for, campaigning for a November poll should miss the final season. This year the finals were pushed into October because of the Olympics and this influenced my earlier answer.
