It could be preparation for when Stephen Smith takes over as PM and he will most likely call an election fairly soon before his new gloss wears off.
Sussex Street know that Miss Gillard is the most hated, loathed, and despised pollie in Australia today. They also are painfully aware that Miss Gillard has an established reputation for being a pathological liar, has an unbearable speech impediment, and is a very poor speaker.
So they can't let Miss Gillard loose at the next election because Miss Gillard trying to campaign at the next election would be absolutely pathetically hysterical and ludicrous and Miss Gillard would be howled down and hunted out at any public appearances that it was silly enough to appear at.
No Australian would listen to Miss Gillard's lying rubbish shrieked out in its shrill unbearable speech impediment.
