Gillard’s grab bag of hope for survival

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Whether the latest round of speculation is based on anything at all, the divide in caucus between the two camps is firmly established.

Rudd has told confidants that after being knifed so suddenly, he is not prepared to come back just to clean up the mess.

But does anyone realistically think he wouldn’t take the keys to The Lodge, if the chance was there?

Take a close look at his language. He avoids mentioning Gillard by name, does not directly reject talk of a challenge and shifts the topic to the Coalition.

”As I’ve said one thousand times before, I’m very, very happy being the Foreign Minister, that hasn’t changed and won’t change,” he says, beaming at the attention.

”Every time you raise this stuff I’m going to tell you what Mr Abbott would do to Australia and to Australian working families under financial pressure, were he to become prime minister.”

Caucus members insist there is no active canvassing of numbers. The speculation will continue because Gillard has had a disappointing year so far. However, she may be on the cusp of a (minor) political revival.

Abbott made this task easier by committing the ad hominem offence of attacking the messenger rather than the message.

His constant claim is that Gillard is responsible for everything that goes awry, and nothing that succeeds.

So a rise in interest rates would have been an indictment of the Government’s handling of the economy, but the cut in interest rates delivered this week was because the Reserve Bank was worried about falling consumer confidence.

Ditto Qantas. Joyce insists he will be the winner in the long term despite his unprecedented grounding of the entire fleet. Trashing the brand is never bright. Previous management was very clever to merge the national airline with the national identity.

Who hasn’t had goose bumps from the youth choir’s rendition of Still Call Australia Home on a Qantas flight returning to this great country?
