Contrary to Tony Abbott painting the Liberals
as pure as the driven snow on back-stabbing
leaders when compared with grubby Labor:
With help from Minchin's Mutineers, Tony Abbott
back-stabbed Liberal leader, Malcolm Turnbull
who'd back-stabbed Brendon 'Horatio' Nelson.
Labor is no better or no worse at backstabbing
leaders while professing undying love for them.
With help from Labor MPs who were scared that
Kevin Rudd's plunge in popularity could cost
them their seats Julia Gillard overthrew Rudd.
Now the boot is on the other foot as Labor MPs
are scared that Gillard's plunge in popularity
may cost them their seats and Rudd's star
is rising. Fairfax did some polling and it
revealed that Labor (under Rudd) would
attract almost 7% more votes than Labor
with Julia Gillard at the helm of the party.
And guess who is smiling like a Cheshire Cat
while pledging undying loyalty to Julia Gillard.
Last minute Switcheroos work. Labor swapped
Bill Haydon for Bob Hawke and the Liberals
led by Malcolm Fraser lost the election.
As the saying goes in Canberra: A week in politics
is a long time. So the 14 weeks to the election
on 14 September is an eternity on steroids.
As Bill Haydon said when he was deposed:
"A drover's dog could win this election."
