I wonder if he stamped his feet?

WTF? Wow. I didn't think he'd cave to them. Still.... QUOTE "I promise you this - there is no way, no way, that I will ever be part of a stealth attack on a sitting prime minister elected by the people," he said. "We all know that what happened then was wrong and it must never happen again." He makes her look even worse. She won't fare well from this - he is a good Foreign Minister.

See I think he got in before she could fire him. No co-incidence he is in Washington and it's the middle of the night there, and he timed it to make the 6.00pm news over here. My vote is still on a leadership challenge, within a week or so.

He was in a role that suited his skills, networks, and passion. Julia Gillard has really disappointed me with her leadership (or lack thereof). High hopes dashed.

QUOTE "I promise you this - there is no way, no way, that I will ever be part of a stealth attack on a sitting prime minister elected by the people," he said. Really?? What's he been doing for the last few months then?

Being childless doesn't make me less of a woman
Wonder if he jumped before he was pushed?

I don't think it was really jumping before he was pushed, now that I've read his statement. He's calling them on their Bullsh*t. I don't think there will be a challenge before the election now. But I'd put money that when Labor loses (this is such a freaking terrifying thought), Gillard will be out on her ass. He'll sit around for a year or so, nice and quiet then he'll be back with a vengeance.

I wonder if all those claiming the Rudd vs Gillard issues were only a News Ltd beat up will eat their hats?
