Well.
A true wild west shoot out. Loser quits.

I still see Shorten as a king maker here. Switch his block behind Rudd to get Julia out. Rudd loses badly and forced out. Shorten a shoe in for Opposition Leader allowing him to build his profile.

He was wearing a blue tie in parliament today.

Will the voice of first Female PM be silenced by a man wearing Blue Tie? Gillard must have predicted this day when she made her speech in "Women for Gillard" gathering.

Rudd is the best campaign manager and communication spin doctor that LNP ever could dream to employ, especially when 457 is not needed.

Kevin is (currently) just a backbencher, he should at least respect the position even if he doesn't respect the incumbent.

Agree. Goodness. There's a moment!

I think Rudd has behaved scurrilously.
 
And still the country drifts while the soap opera is played out....

What a train wreck this is all shaping up to be as they squabble over the coughy prize, specially if kruddy wins, the independents might have their last moment in the spot light while he tries to hurriedly cobble some cabinet together...

And they are both finished as can you see either of them being interested in marking their days in some rump of the ALP left in opposition for the next 2-3 terms??? They should do all of us a favour and both resign and make way for some new blood in their electorates and save us the costs of a by-election or two...

Tonights a contest between two dead people walking in the near to medium term and no one else with a brain on their side will come close to getting involved in a three way... Just let these two play out their antagonisms towards each other while the others get ready to face the inevitable and go at each other for the scraps post Sept 14th (or sooner)...

Didn't think you would.

Tony Windsor is also quitting, citing health and family concerns. But he also mentioned that the conservative hate campaign had taken its toll.

So congrats to you and all your mob ....

Have to say, history didn't start post election day 2010 or 2007 even in terms of 'hate campaigns' as you like to melo dramatically put it...

After listening to the hate and vitriol and smears the coalition went through for 11 years, i determined that once the new government came in i didn't think they needed (or deserved) to be given much of a benefit of the doubt or have the other cheek turned... And that was for kruddy's mediocre attempts at leadership and before the last 3 years when the wheels progressively fell of the administration and the toys started coming out of the cot with the two sparring wanna be's...
 
I think The Rudster is mad as
Why would you want to captain the Titanic?
Would it not be better for Julia to sink the ship and then he could make a come back greater than Lazarus?

Not in a position to follow thus but ... Really? That suggests Rudd has the numbers and Gillard is doomed.

Or shorten is doomed :D

(But I think Rudd has the numbers ... Bookies seem to agree, and they are usually a pretty reliable indicator! )
 
So to the future, if Julia doesn't win the leadership battle, I reckon Ged Kearney will be the next member for Lalor.
