ALBO TIPPED TO REPLACE SHORTEN

nero_bolt — Sat, 20 Sep 2014 02:52:28 GMT

As media scrambles to catch up on Kathy’s explosive allegations of rape against Bill Shorten, first exposed this week in the Pickering Post, the ALP is casting a line into an almost empty talent pool for a more reputable fish.

Newspapers and TV programs are now vying for “exclusives” in a race to get the story legalled and pumping ratings. It’s a story they had previously refused to confront during eight months of swirling imputations.

Shorten is copping a daily hammering in the Royal Commission into Unions and his recent unhinged attack on the Japanese has left Labor reeling.

The choice of Shorten as leader over the rank-and-file’s preference for Albanese appears to be an extension of Labor’s leadership woes.

Rudd, Gillard, Rudd and now Shorten will not make good reading in ALP archives and the whole seven years will likely go missing from the file.

Separating the Siamese twins of Labor and unions will be a surgical operation made more difficult while Shorten remains. His fingerprints are all over the dirty dealings of Victoria’s Centre Right faction and his close association with Bill Ludwig’s AWU and the NSW Right’s long line of crooks augers poorly for Bill’s future.

His failed attempts to have the Gillard/Wilson fraud and jailed ALP President, Michael Williamson’s $20 million HSU East branch scam shut down have left him exposed as just another union thug and the stench of union corruption will follow him into history.

And his record of ruthlessly knifing two sitting Labor Prime Ministers in a bloody battle for his own future does not compare well with his hero Bob Hawke’s drinking record.

We saw the real Bill Shorten for the first time in a long time, in his element, on the back of that truck in Adelaide screaming anti Japanese slogans to a handful of adoring unionists. It was as un-prime ministerial as any hopeful could get.

Now the man with the wandering appendage has made the mistake of calling Kathy a liar (“it didn’t happen”) after police decided there was insufficient evidence to charge him with raping her.

Shorten has tried to paper over his murky past by planting a foot in the pretentious vice-regal establishment, but it hasn’t worked... and Kathy’s compelling story is just one of many, far too many.

Kevin Rudd has made it nigh impossible for a repeat of his ignominious dumping as leader but Labor cannot go to the next election with Shorten and they have started to realise that.

Albanese is their only hope in a shortlist of longshots and the sooner he is installed the better Labor’s chances of re-election.

Poor bill, he’s certainly racked up a bill of less than savoury antics over the years.

I would prefer him to stay put, he‘s an ineffectual lightweight, has no political lineage, jusy a grubby climb to the top.

Why on earth would you want an "ineffectual lightweight" who has made a "grubby climb to the top" to remain in parliament?

One can only presume that you believe an ineffective opposition is better than an effective one. In fact, one could even infer that you might prefer no opposition at all - a one party system.

So you consider BS to be an "ineffectual lightweight" is that correct from your statement she el?

Yep..

Just wait for the main stream media to get the rights to Kathys story and air it, should be very interesting

I would post the links to the full 2 part story she told the writer of the OP but alas it wont pass left test on here as whats been said in the story in Kathys own words is very interesting and very gritty but not suitable for this forum....

She is a very brave woman.

surely the important thing is whether it passes the" prosecution in a court of law" test and if the allegations are true, then why would ANYONE prefer that he stay in parliament.

Kath and Kim

“Bill was there but I ignored him. He had spoken to so many people about how he ‘had sex’ with me and I felt so uncomfortable with what I thought were so many eyes inspecting me. So I told my sister Kim

Abbott's love child turns into shaggy dog story

(March 22, 2005)

Mr Abbott had started a relationship with Ms Donnelly in 1975 while completing year 12 at St Ignatius College, Riverview. When the pair went to university, Ms Donnelly gave birth to a baby boy at Mater Hospital, Crows Nest, on July 26, 1977. Mr Abbott was under the impression that the baby was his son and he saw him briefly before Ms Donnelly relinquished the boy for adoption five days after the birth.

Walked away and pretended that nothing happened. Very noble.

Hi Icy. Maybe he will be short term. I personally would rather have Albo.

The topic is Bill Shorten, not The PM of Australia, so it is not on topic.

What about Plibbbersek? isn't she next in line? or are they too frightened to put in another woman? after all what a great success Gillard was for the party and the future of women in politics.
