Will Julia Gillard Lead the Labor Party to the Election?

The question is

Will Julia Gillard Lead the Labor Party to the Election

If she leads it will be a total wipe out, if she is replaced at least they may save a few seats but they (the labor party) are headed for political oblivion and a wipe out no matter what they do.

Ibis, the NDIS has recently been passed .It is much needed as so many people with disabilities  

 and caring for people/children with disabilities should understand and appreciate .... perhaps even those who run Julia Gillard down ?

And the winner is … Abbott

Julia Gillard called a party room meeting to settle the Labor leadership matter, and the winner was Tony Abbott.

Labor managed to inflict serious new damage on its present leader, fatally wound its only real alternative, expose itself as deeply riven, and subject itself to ridicule

And it was all self-inflicted.

It was the first time that an Australian prime minister had called a party-room meeting to settle the leadership, only to discover that there was no challenger.

''This has never happened,'' said ANU political scientist John Wanna. ''The closest thing would be when John Curtin died and Frank Forde was put in for a week while they sorted themselves out.''

And Crean confirmed publicly what others have realised - that Gillard cannot win an election, and that she is basing her strategy on divisive ''class war''. Labor's Prime Minister, its alternative leader, and the government itself have been damaged.

It looks ridiculously dysfunctional, and it is exactly as it appears.

It reminds me of that song "Suicide is painless" but even Labor can't manage to kill itself off without damaging all & sundry who support it.

What a debacle, what a total mess, what a degrading spectacle JG made of herself yesterday in the house taking her spite out on the Opposition.

She is damaged goods, poison to the electorate, going down with the ship & taking all with her.

Nobody will trust her now, we have been witness to her dark side, her venom, her killing spree of all who opposed her.

After todays big "NON event "JG went home to the dog, I bet Tim was very happy to be away if her nasty rant in parliament is any indication as to the way she would vent at home.

Good judgement Tim, well done, you knew when to bail out for a night or two.

did you hear Tony Abbott and Julie Bishop yesterday NS ?

Yes I did and I don't necessary agree with everything they said but I was commenting on the fact that Tim was away and would probably be thankful not to have to face JG in the mood she was in so please don't make my comment anything more than it is.
