Gillard rushing home... but why?

Well, it could be that our [soon to be Former] Prime Minister has just had enough of New Zealand, which is entirely understandable (I joke, of course; the countryside is just spectacular... the people, on the other hand...). Perhaps Gillard is heading home early to congratulate Swan on the economy (that would be a short discussion...) or maybe Tim found himself unable to open a particularly stubborn pickle jar. Fanciful scenarios, to be sure, as the likely truth is that the rumblings in the Labor Party are coming to a head... more precisely the Labor Party is coming after Julia's head...

Could it be that Gillard has cut short her NZ trip because her sycophant lapdog Swan has over heard that a leadership spill is imminent, and quickly jumped on the phone, pleading his Dear Leader to hurry back? "Come home Julia... the Faceless Men are getting restless!" With even the most devote ALP supporters and former power brokers beginning to lose the faith, it is only a matter of time. I suggested late last week that Gillard would be lucky to see the end of the month but maybe she won't see the end of this week?


Rushing back to stop Rudd the Revolutionary...?

For the most part I am an optimist; I always try and see the best, regardless of the situation. That is why I have my fingers crossed, and hope that the ALP sees sense and does the right thing: dump Gillard and give the Australian people their democratic right to vote. Our country is suffering needlessly and we need an election now!
