I would love to know what Simon Crean thinks about Julia and Ruddy

Funny you should say that. Simon has gone in to print on that very subject a few minutes ago; He said;

Mr Crean said Mr Rudd and his supporters must accept that he would not be prime minister again.
"He can't be prime minister again," Mr Crean told Fairfax Radio in Melbourne on Tuesday.
"He's got to accept that. Has he? That's a question that should be put to him and I think every time it's been put to him he does accept it."

Mr Crean stressed the party had to be united, was best served by running a full term, and should not contribute to leadership speculation.
"The leadership will not be vacant," he said.
"There is no capacity for challenge. There is no contender that has the numbers. And the sooner the party wakes up to that ... the better off we will be."
