I thought that Bob Brown had called the election outcome criminal, and the ALP has virtually imploded over the results.
No party ever has 7-8 of their "likely" cabinet members suddenly retiring to the backbench in the wake of an election loss, without that translating as a virtual vote of no confidence in the Leader. And, what of the Peter Garrett experiment? That type of "talent" is now wasted on the backbench.
So, a party in denial. A party in disarray. A party in search of relevance. A party looking more and more like the Democrats (fractious, faction ridddled, and contradictory).
Trouble is - who would lead Labor? Same issues. Same Dilemma.
Then, there was the overall complaint concerning the Family First preferencing deals, the election of First in Victoria, the loss of Cox in Kingston (and a failure of the SA State Secretary to forewarn the Party of this), and the list goes on.
