Australia - New PM?

[Old Croc]

Live on Australia Network now.

Caucus to vote for leader tonight. 20 mins from now.

Bill Shorten has just announced he is switching from Gillard to Rudd!

Rudd should return to lead party to election.

The PM makes no difference when you voted for the party.

Anyhow if they change leader, its just a different lemon, same tree.

While Labor still won't win with Rudd, polls indicate it will be a lot closer contest. Many high profile pollies will be saved from annilhation!

[Old Croc]

Caucus vote at 1600 Thailand time.

Listening now on 2gb .next after that state of origin .Go the blues

Rudd has a different vision than Gillard. She should have stepped down a couple of months back. Labor has zero chance of winning under her.

I forgot about that...

Bill Shorten, changing his allegiance has sealed her fate.

She's dust now.

Believe it or not, this is the shot from a day ago when she was knitting for the about to be born English Royal!

[Old Croc]

^ Thankyou.

I see the Libs have already released a toxic anti Rudd tv ad.

[Old Croc]

Reports are saying Rudd has been returned to the PM job.

May call an election in August.

[Old Croc]

57 - 45 to Rudd

Wonder what the $ cost to us tax payers is for this vote?

[greg71]

Well done the Kevin but i think he will have more of a uphill battle to win a national election

Labor ousts Australia PM Gillard

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard loses leadership of the Labor party to the man she ousted in 2010, Kevin Rudd /BBC

[Chao Lao Beach]

I think that ex- PM Gillard learnt about karma today.

Famously saying that: "Karma is a Bitch" J.Gillard 26-6-2013

To get rid of her and her cronies, I think the tax payers just had a relief

Good Luck to Mr Rudd. (That is not a supporting labor comment, it is just nicer to see the Witch and her bitches run and to see a better election)

The Donkey Vote is still leading the way though, if anything just to protest the requirement to vote. I believe it should be your decision to vote or not to vote, why encourage the bastards.

I wish it was Rudd vrs Turnball actually.

Both have brains. He should be leading the Libs instead of that Abbot complete utter nut case freak show hypercritical bible basher ^$#@%.

Labor still won't win the election and the down side is that Gillard will be smirking and say that she didn't lose it and she was the best man for the job. She will go down in Australian political History as the 1st woman P.M and the worst P.M

You'd have to rate Labor almost zero chance of winning.....perhaps with more time under Rudd they would have been a chance.

I heard Rudd trying using the Workchoices under Liberal line in an interview before the vote.

[BookMan]

One of Gillards most embarrassing public relations exercises was when she went out to the Western Suburbs of Sydney for a week to meet some real voters. Unfortunately she forgot to actually interact with the locals...

General election now confirmed for September.When in a parliamentary system the leadership changes without recourse to the people it's necessary to obtain a popular mandate quickly - something that some grappling with the parliamentary system in Thailand had difficulty grasping.

[Chao Lao Beach]

Rudd needs a sledge hammer now. (For internal Labour hammering)

I think one of his motivating bits, was Cambell in QLD and how much of a complete prick his team is acting, also Labor is likely to control the senate under Rudd.

I doubt he be PM after the election to be honest.

Rudd stands up to the Labor power brokers who control that group.

I 100% wish that Rudd & Turnball stated a new party 6 months ago !!!

Glad to see that Garret swan away........

This whole situation makes crazy Katter look normal

So will the oils be back? Love their music

Kevin Rudd recently changed his views on same-sex marriage.

I hope that he introduces in his short tenure as PM a conscience vote on same-sex marriage because Abbott will keep Australia in the dark ages and deny equality for gays and lesbians.

[Old Croc]

Swan gave a speech to state he will stay . Presumably on the back bench.

Rudd to give a speech shortly. Albanese is new deputy.
