Actually, I'm getting more and more suspicious about the whole thing...maybe it's been orchestrated to keep attention on the Labor party? and there's no division at all?? wouldn't surprise me!

Do we really care anymore?? I am disgusted with the whole lot of them.

I am also disgusted with the way Gillard has run a scythe through the most talented & left herself with the lemmings party who will follow her over the cliff.

It's man the lifeboats & bu**ar the rest, the rest being the populace of Australia.

In a way, this might be the best thing to happen to the ALP in decades ... Crean is no loss, nor is Carr, nor is Ferguson. All are part of the "old guard" who believe (ultimately) in the seniority of men within the party ... I don't think any of them have contributed a lot ... they followed in the footsteps of Kim Beazley ... none had the charisma or intelligence of Keating or Hawke.

Funny how we haven't heard from Keating ... Latham has been bleating away ...

I've just returned from an overseas trip and the folk there are shaking their collective heads at the way in which our government can so successfully manage our economy through what has been described in the past as the worst global financial crisis since the great depression approximately 80 years ago.

These people were in awe of our governments abilities and the way in which it navigated out nation through it. And now the good folk overseas witness the impolsion of this so much revered government into chaos and disunity.

I have been watching the events of the last few days on T.V. whilst overseas and stepped off the plane today to hear of mass resignations of Whips, Secretaries and Ministers.

I see this as a PURGE by Labor to finally stop the constant infighting. Getting rid of the Rudd supporters who were constantly undermining the Gillard led government. Even Rudd himself has stated that he will no longer seek leadership. Not under any cirumstance.

It was Rudd and his supporters who were leaking things to the press. Trying to undermine and cause instability to his own party because he was removed from his Prime Ministerial position caused by his own doing.

Now the new phase will be that the Labor party will huncker down and focus on the nation, it's policies and focus outward away from itself. The bloke opposite Ms Gillard ( Mr Abbott ) needs to be the main focus of the Labor party bacause he is found wanting in a plethora of areas.

The fund Abbott established that steered Ms Pauline Hanson to jail must be investigated fully.

The thuggery of punching walls in his youth needs to be addressed.

No need to ask for links or anything. These words are purely my opinion.

Watch out Mr Abbott, when this dust settles a stronger, much more unified government will emerge.

I shudder to think of Mr Abbott in the lodge. He will throw this nation backward 30 years.

Ok Rant over.......................... it's good to be home.:-)
