Meanwhile, let's not forget that Tony Abbott is a horrible prospect for a prime minster. Sure, Malcolm could usurpe him soon after an election, but that would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth once more... But in the Libs (conservative Party) they don't do things by half... Tony's past indiscretions would be brought to the public fore and voila...

Though Malcolm made a funny entertaining speech about the Labor Party rigmarole today, he's got to deal with the reality of the massive incompetence of the Liberal (conservative) troops... Tony is a mad loose cannon... It is well-known in the bean counting business that Joe and Andrew Robb have no clue on how to run a lemonade stand...

Then the Libs (conservatives) have that dippy woman with the glance that can explode gnomes ay twenty paces... and they (the Libs - conservatives) have also a wall paper full of useless retrogrades... Few in the Libs can presently cut the mustard... But they are laughing...

One has to remember as well, if my memory is correct, that in the late seventies, Tony was prepared to eat in any through and would have joined the Labor Party should he had been "given" a seat... I met Malcolm himself in the 1980s when we was toying with the idea of joining the Labor Party or the Libs (Conservatives) so he could become Prime Minister...

Meanwhile a Rudd defeated may not let go of the bone... He may have to have his bottom smacked harder...

Meanwhile in a popular populist move, Rudd stood on a carboard box to announce that he would reduce the price of carbon in the carbon tax, till the whole lot would not make any sense at all... In the same sentence, Rudd grandiosed on the value of a negative mining tax in which the miners would pay nothing more than a nominal dollar to get some assistance dosh so they can dig the dirt faster.

Thus the maddening crowd was very excited to see their emperor — Kev Soufflé II — cuddling up to all of them in this Orstralyatopia (kissing people's arse more likely) — an emperor, of course, with brand new white-washed clothes...

Sorry to say this but, your majesty, some of us can see through the ethereal cheese cloth... You are not wearing budgie smugglers, unfortunately or fortunately depending on our Liberal (conservative) or Labor point of view...

Still, as always relentless, Kev Soufflé II will do anything to get his mug in the Murdoch press or any press for that matter (including TeeVee) to sabotage his "beloved" ship, the Laborruddom, which he used to sail single-handedly brilliantly — as the legend has it in his own mind — through shark-abbott infested duckponds.

I know I could be wrong and I have been wrong many times before. So I consult the man in the street...

He's a wise old cookie... He knows these things. He suggests that K.Rudd or Krudd, the savior of humanity, shall be soon seen as K. Rapp or crap. Which is a good things, he added. He sees this moment as a step up for Julia, though the crappy journalists are going to pour as much on her (as they would on Krudd anyway, once they'd get their ways) so they can promote their chosen little shit, Abbott. That's the wise man in the street advice. hang in there, be patient... Wait in the darkness....

And please, he begs Julia, Stop repeating yourself or using the same vernacular in two consecutive sentences.... He knows you do it for the dumb people out there, but he sez you should aim your speeches to the average elite, with aplomb... He knows you're a far better manager than all of them before you, but shit, you're a woman!... He can cope with that, but the commentariat imbeciles feel threatened by your ability to crack nuts between your legs. Verbatim...

Julia Gillard's decision to oust Kevin Rudd in 2010 came back to haunt her today as Labor heavyweight Anthony Albanese cited it as the key reason for his decision to back Mr Rudd in Monday's leadership spill.

An emotional Mr Albanese choked back tears as he ended days of speculation about who he would support in the Labor leadership war.

"Over recent days I have had a difficult decision to make... I've consulted friends, colleagues, family members... last night, on talking to family I came to a decision," he said.

"I rang the Prime Minister this morning and had a lengthy conversation with her. I informed the Prime Minister that I would be voting for Kevin Rudd in Monday's ballot."

-----------------------

Anthony, I though you were a cleverer bloke than this... From now on the Greens are going to take over your electorate and that of your good lady Carmel... How on earth have you come to this? You idiot! You did not consult me, you mongrel...

Amid a great deal of dishonourable behaviour from many senior Labor figures who should know better, Anthony Albanese has emerged as a man of integrity.

His decision to opt for Kevin Rudd was hard. He is the most senior minister not to endorse Julia Gillard and is only the fifth minister to support Rudd; he is joining what he knows will be the losing side; his choice won't make his subsequent relations with his colleagues particularly easy.

Albanese is using this ballot to register a retrospective protest over the 2010 coup: he believes it was wrong that it happened, and the manner in which it was conducted was equally reprehensible.

Well. Michelle, I disagree.

There is nothing dishonourable for some of the senior figures to tell it like it is and was, when someone has pooped... Rudd IS a divisive and useless figure amongst people who worked with him. He talks well though... In Queensland, when he worked in the public service, people were more than happy to see the back of him.... Krudd has leaked things to the press that should never had been said because in the long run they weren't true in their outcomes, but the press massaged Rudd's ego who inflated for being "listened to, secretly". Wink wink nudge nudge...

Rudd has been foul-mouthed and rude far too many times to people in private. Just his outburst about a chinese interpreter should have had him sacked from dealing with issues of international significance which at best he does not understand well enough (but understands better than that ghastly Julie Bishop, nonetheless). Rudd spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e... The present moment is a simple example of what Rudd did and does.

The media of which you are now clearly spilling which side you're on, Michelle, has been disgraceful in heaping shit on Julia while giving a free run to that little runt Abbott, all because he's the media favourite son... Not Rudd... Rudd is only a distraction to have more hits at Julia, who annoys the shit out of Murdoch because she gets runs on the board. Then afterward, should Rudd get the job, the media would pour shit down his pants. He'd have a panic moment and the media would promote Tony within a few weeks, after all the tenuous good work done by Julia would have been unravelled by Rudd... Job done.

In regard to Anthony Albanese, His position is typical of men who cannot admit they were wrong once... That's the view of the "woman in the street"... Should the media do their job properly, Julia would be up there, way ahead of Rudd in popularity... But the media is twisted, cynical and NASTY... The catholics, the anglicans, the media and the freemasons, all have aligned to destroy "the atheist..." I know.

QUEENSLAND Senator Jan McLucas is still smarting from the way Kevin Rudd sacked her as parliamentary secretary for Health and Ageing in mid-2009.

The then-prime minister didn't have the courtesy, she says, to deliver the bad news himself to his fellow Queenslander. Instead he had his chief of staff Alistair Jordan call Ms McLucas. Senator McLucas won't be voting for Mr Rudd in the leadership ballot tomorrow.

There is a vast disconnect between Mr Rudd's public persona as Queensland's favourite son and the opprobrium with which most of his caucus colleagues from his home state regard him. Although Labor insiders privately concede they would have a far better chance of boosting the party's vote in Queensland under Mr Rudd than Julia Gillard, few can bear the thought of working for him again.

The populous popularity of KRudd was media created through KRudd feeding dishonest titbits to the media about Julia. Most of those who have worked with him can't stand his rude anticts and erratic ways as seen on that video where he lambasts a Chinese interpreter... He leaks and is untrustworthy... Relatively looking at it, the Media of course has used Kevin's ego to froth up an illusion of populous popularity so the media can promote little shit Abbott by not even touching his imbecilic contradictory policies. 

Human Services Minister Brendan O'Connor says the ballot for the Labor leadership is not a celebrity poll and if it were, pop star Kylie Minogue could end up running the country.

In a thinly-veiled swipe at Kevin Rudd's "people power" campaign to return to the top job, Mr O'Connor said tomorrow's ballot was all about who could get the tough reforms through.

He said that was why Prime Minister Julia Gillard would win "overwhelmingly".

And "tough" does not mean one has to be rude, abnoxious, duplicitous, idiotic or willy nilly to colleagues.... while smiling at the public... 

''The vilification of the Prime Minister [has] reached unprecedented levels,'' Geoff Kitney wrote in the Australian Financial Review this month, while the Sydney Daily Telegraph's Simon Benson reported on February 5: ''People … believe they can say things about the PM which, if she were a bloke, would never have been said … Underlying this is obviously a belief that the harder and more personal the attack, the more likely she is to break - because she is a woman … John Howard copped it from the left, but never as bad as the language that is often used against Gillard.''

''Tomorrow will not sort out the government's problems because Kevin was not the government's problem,'' said one MP who will vote for Mr Rudd.

Kevin has been one of the government's problems. He has leaked and has made sure Julia was watching her back within her own party... It has to be said that when Rudd was ditched, had it gone to a spill, the result would have been 105 for Gillard to 3 for Rudd... He was not liked at all. He was more disfunctional than a clapped out steam engine in a repair shop. Still boiling, fuming with effing steam but burning the employees, and no traction. 

The MAJOR problem of the government is the media is hell-bent on pushing little shit Abbott to the fore. The media will NEVER report the true story about the "insulation" fiasco for example: 1-million homes successfully insulated, 400 homes with potential and some with real troubles, 5 or so death. Of course the media is blaming the "government" while letting the shonky operators get out of jail. And the government can say bugger all because there would be court cases, in which the government is not involved but shonks are pointing the finger at it. Far more people died building the harbour bridge or the snowy scheme...

Murdoch HATES the NBN... He sees it rightly as a challenge to his monopolistic empire. But the Telcos sees the NBN as an opportunity... The cost is high BUT THE MONEY IS NOT ALL SPENT AT ONCE...  And of course everyone is saying, where is my connection? I want my fast connection NOW... These things take time. There was a timetable for the deployment and it's "on track"... ABBOTT WANTS TO DETROY THE NBN. That is the story.

Same with the carbon Tax that Julia said she'd never have in a government she leads... SO WHAT!! There was no way she could get an ETS through parliament... The only way left for her was to bite the bullet and DO IT... In twenty years time, we'll say what took them so effing long...

So Julia stabbed Kevin07 in the back but did she? They (the "faceless men" — we know who they are and they are proud of it) told Kevin he had to go and HE KNEW HE DID NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS. 3 for him 105 for Julia... He wept, but many people HE HAD STABBED before had also wept when it had happened to them. SO WHAT? Julia got things moving once again, but the media and Kev07 did not want to let this one go and lately Kevin has been rattling his toy sword with the help of the media till the time senior ministers told him to shut up... He took this as a loss of confidence from the PM... and challenged her to a fight... 

Better she wins and carry on government. With Kev out of cabinet, things should move on better... One thing for sure, politics in cabinet is like a kitchen. It's better not to know how the sausages are made...

10:48am: Phillip Coorey of the SMH has tweeted that Julia Gillard won the vote 73 votes to 29.

It looks hopeless, because it is. Despite an apparent popular clamour for him to be restored to The Lodge, Kevin Rudd today seems certain to be banished by his colleagues to backbench obscurity, or to the backbench at least.

The whiff of singed martyr is already perceptibly in the air. Mr Rudd and his family have called upon his people to rise up, speak out - lobby their local MP, tweet, sing, design a T-Shirt - to urge his return to office. And the imminent smashing of these humble dreams by the ALP's "faceless men" serves to make his public case all the more strongly: "In destroying me, they thwart you."
