My!  What an eloquent speaker: "This is the final in a wave of crescendo of attacks on my position by members of your government over many months."  Roll Eyes


And he's not a member of the Government when they criticize him.  Way to be a team player, Kev.

"In the past two days, at least one senior Cabinet Minister has called for you to remove from me from office."

Yeah, I love the whole "I wish to record what an honour it has been to serve as Minister for Foreign Affairs in a Labor Government." Not, "in your Government" but simply "in a Labor Government."

So much behind that. He takes no joy from Julia being his boss. Does he consider the government half 'his', considering he originally won the first mandate?

Laurie Oakes has an article summarising an ex-Cabinet Minister's appraisal of the Rudd Prime Ministership.

A Galaxy poll out today says that Labor would lose 54-46 under the current Prime Minister and would lose 51-49 with Rudd at the helm

Sounds awfully like the Hillary 2012ers. Once you put their idols back in the domestic arena everyone shortly remembers why said idols were exiled from it to begin with.

This is a caucus ballot, presumably held in the government caucus room on Parliament Hill. No cameras in there.

This is correct, although I watched a bit of Sky News last week, streaming from news.com.au, so if you want the results and analysis as it breaks...

No, I know. I just mean for news coverage.
