Current Labor leader Kim Beastley has called fo a leadership ballot next week… and just at the right time. If it had waited til after Xmas it would be too close to the election. This will give a new team the chance to bed in well before they have to front up to the electorate.
I have no doubt Kim is a really nice guy honest, hardworking and all the rest… but so was Simon Crean and Mark Latham… however he just isn’t the right man for the job… and the country has told him that twice at elections already. The result of another try may well be yet more years of a right wing Liberal party hacking at workers rights and personal liberty.
The only problem I have with the spill is that the ‘dream team’ is being spouted as Rudd for leader with Gillard as deputy. Personally I’d prefer it the other way around… but this would give Julia exposure until she feels she has the numbers to mount her own challenge.
So… let’s go guys. Say thanks to Kim and goodbye… and welcome in the new team. Time to lobby your MP and make sure their caucas votes count in the right direction!!

Let’s face it…Labor just have no intention of being in Govt..they keep finding new ways/old ways revisited – to shoot themselves in the foot – or is thatin the Ballot Box?
