some wonder whether or not Crean and others who were pushed onto their own swords would perhaps vote for the "No Confidence Vote" Abbott plans for May - day after Budget.
Bet that glimmer of wishful thinking is in vain. For who but the hugely principled would vote themselves out of a job and Super ++++ four months earlier than they have to?
For this huge act of bravery requires patriotic heroes - to rescue us all from four months more misery and dirge and further massive damage. Don't think there's any (heroism) there to be had - cross benches, OR Labor former heavyweights - sacked or not.
One can only live in hope that a few consciences are stirred. And doing the honorable thing may win out over sheer self-preservation. Is there a hero or two? Time will tell.
Windsor and Oakeshott can preen, smirk, and mumble sweet nothings about "we might" all they like - fact is - they will never, ever, cross Gillard! For there's the remote chance, if she wins, she may give them a Labor seat - the "prize" for their keeping her in power. I allege.
and that's before their huge hatred of all things National Party - some personal rows they each had with them - way back then! Spite a very powerful motivator - as we are seeing, at present.
