Considering that its been shown that Julia Gillard lied about plotting to overthrow him as PM, I would say its more than fair enough that he has as many goes at taking the job back as he likes until he succeeds. He was the democratically elected Prime Minister of our country and was deposed not by the people by by the factions of his government. The people should decide who gets to be the PM, not a political party.

Still, Eddie Obeid in NSW is likely going to do Julia Gillard a lot more damage than Kevin Rudd ever could, how many Federal ALP politicians have now been brought into it and Sports bet keep blowing the odds out even further for the ALP accordingly.

Except that technically, we never have. It's always been the party's decision.

Ted Baillieu has resigned as premier of Victoria and as the head of that state's party in parliament.

Denis Napthine is reported to be taking over as premier.

The resignation came during a crisis meeting in the Liberal Party at 7pm tonight after controversial MP Geoff Shaw left the party earlier today.

Applause was heard coming from the party room during the crisis meeting.

Mr Shaw's withdrawal denies the Liberals their absolutely majority in the lower house of parliament, with the Frankston MP now heading to the crossbench.

Mr Shaw said he quit the party because he had lost confidence in Mr Baillieu, The Age reports.

Best thing they could do is have an election, having the current federal situation repeated in Victoria serves no one any good at all.

Not a good look when Pauline Hanson agrees with the dog-whistling of Gillard.

Shameful.

Agreed, that is just bizarre behaviour, not unlike Julia's opposition to same sex marriage which consdering some of her other statements on the issue and her membership in the Fabian Society seems unrealistic.

Now in the NT the Lib government have dumped Chief Minister Terry Mills :lol:

THE Northern Territoy's Chief Minister Terry Mills has been replaced by Transport Minister Adam Giles.

Party insiders have told the NT News there has been a ''substantial swing'' in the numbers.

Dave Tollner will be his deputy.

Rumblings started last night and it was confirmed today.

The leadership drama comes just days after Mr Giles refused the deputy role.

Not just that but about to be the 4th cabinet they've had in their 6 months in power. Mills was in Japan and informed of the news by phone :roll:

Adam Giles becomes the first Indigenous person to become a state or territory leader.

Did you know that Barack Obama has killed more men, women and children via the use of Drone Strikes, than all the other Nobel Peace Prize winners put together?
