Kev is toxic

Looks like the Labor party is figuring out what was plain to see 3 years ago

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's leadership is under siege tonight from some of the Labor Party's most influential factional warlords.

The ABC has learned that powerful party figures have been secretly canvassing numbers for a move to dump the Prime Minister and replace him with his deputy, Julia Gillard.

It appears she has rebuffed the advances, but it is a measure of the disquiet which has been building in the party since Mr Rudd's approval ratings began their precipitous slide in April.

Ministers and party members have been lining up all week to voice their support for Mr Rudd but behind the scenes, party leaders have been contemplating a leadership change.

Although Mr Rudd looks likely to survive the challenge, news of the attempted coup will undoubtedly weaken him.

It is understood that the only thing holding the Prime Minister up is that his deputy refuses to join in a bid to bring him down.

I hope Kev doesn't go.

Gillard would get them over the line and then Australia would REALLY be fucked

How will the Labor lovers spin this as a good message without backflipping like Kev?


Looks like we will have to put up with more ineptness as Liebor won't be calling the election till next year then...

After weeks of tension around the leadership, Labor frontbenchers were yesterday out rallying for Mr Rudd's leadership.

Climate Change Minister Penny Wong said the caucus was solidly behind the Prime Minister.

"Kevin Rudd has the 100 per cent support of the government, of the caucus," she told ABC radio.

100% eh Penny?
