Key Posts of the Gillard Takeover
Let’s cut the crap, the move against Rudd isn’t being driven by the fears of an electoral loss. - Gillard: stooge for the party bosses The factions hated Rudd even while he was polling sky-high. - The dead hand of the party rises Gillard’s problem in justifying her takeover on policy grounds is that not only did the bankruptcy of the factions that backed her give her nothing, but there wasn’t that much there to begin with. - The making of Ming the Merciless The main problem with the Rudd dumping is that it makes Labor look like a bunch of rootless flakes who change their Prime Ministers like someone changes their season’s wardrobe. - Self absorbed and deluded – cross party edition Given that Rudd’s Big Australia implied a slashing of immigration levels as well, it would be fair to say that this is not about the environment, nor infrastructure, nor even immigration levels, as such. Rather it is about Rudd touching a raw nerve of how Labor, especially in NSW, understands its decline. - Asylum seekers: a panic of the political classTags
