Dastyari told NSW Right to unite against Gillard? Lights out, right?

Gillard's firewall is the VIC membership, Crean's move has cracked it.

The Right faction installed her... and they might bring her down.

I just drove past the Lodge, the protective services car is outside - which means she's there. Somewhat unusual.

AWU still saying that they expect Gillard to hold on. She's meeting with Swan right now. And didn't at least one Indy say that without Gillard the pact was over? Which means dissolution.

Not surprised this is happening, but still it's pretty huge.

Oh Australia.

Wasn't it earlier in the day when they got rid of Rudd? I think I remember it being before midnight UK time...

So Gillard is gone, for sure, but is Rudd really going to be the replacement?

Has Rudd aged as much in 2 years as the shadowy media splashes make it look like?

Gillard not even answering the question, just taunting the Coalition.
