bowen is certain labor to win under rudd, page-12

Despite the poll, I would still say so.

Bowen is one of the few MPs not in a safe seat who the ALP will need to form a front bench in Opposition.

If they are going to try to 'save some of the furniture' this will very close to the top of the list.
