rudd spill, page-24

Looks like Bob is ready to "deal with anyone" should a leadership spill ensue. It's good to know the Greens have someone prepared to do a deal with the Taliban if that's what it takes to keep him in power.

"BOB Brown has declared the Greens' minority government deal with Labor would survive a change of prime minister, saying the agreement was with the party, not Julia Gillard.

Amid fresh leadership rumblings in Labor, the Greens leader said the Labor leadership was "up to them".

"We are in an arrangement with the Labor government and we made that arrangement with Julia Gillard as leader of the Labor government," said Senator Brown.

"But who Labor appoints as their leader is up to them."
