I saw this comment on the news..
Rudds philosophy is "we'll do it my way. End of discussion!". He is so short sighted and literally blinded by power he cant see that the people he is tramping all over are the same Labor Kingmakers that anointed him in 2007.
All this and I haven't even gone into the many failed policies and the billions of taxpayer money that has been wasted under his rule. Julia will ascend to the leadership but the problem Labor face is "Same Script, Different Cast". Labor will have a new leader yet their dangerous policies remain.

Re: australias first female pm..
That's actually the problem with today's decision Mark...nobody voted for Gillard.
As he wasn't aligned to any party faction, he was always going to be an easy target when the news polls fell. However, the bit that I find uncomfortable is that we now have a Prime Minister who was not democratically elected to her role by the people, but has been placed there by the political machine of the unions. You can say that the people voted for her in her electorate, so democracy has taken place, however she did not go into the election as leader...we did not have the chance to vote for her to lead the country.

Now to the polls , Hopefully good bye Labour party and good riddance. Labour are good for making promises they can't keep and spending money and lining Bludging Unionists pockets can't wait to see there demise .

I think he has been stabbed in the back by his closest team mambers - Gillard and Swan. Yes he was suported by them to become the leader. But he was put up there because of his "personality" to get votes and win the election, which he did........but also in great part due to the stubborness of Howard.
Once he is in.......he runs it as "my house my rules".......but he always did things through his "kitchen cabinet" of Rudd Gillard Swan Tanner.
If things turned sour, which it did, it was not just Rudd's fault. It was the fault of those 4 making the decisions without consultation. If Gillard and Swan were looking out for him, they would have insisted things go to the caucus and party rather than make the decisions within the 4 of them.
Does everyone remember Mark Latham....very popular until his true colours turned up. Lucky he did not become PM before everyting was all found out. Unfortuantely for us, Rudd's true face came out after he got the top job. No one knew of his mean streak before he was elected.
