The two country independents on whose support the Gillard government has depended - Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott – both announced this morning that they will quit politics at the election. As the Labor…
If any move is made against Julia Gillard in the next 36 hours, it won’t be like the one that installed her. That came almost out of the blue. We seem to have been waiting an eternity for this lunge that…
Anyone who cares about the referendum to recognise local government in the constitution must be appalled at the way it is being botched. Millions of dollars are being spent on this vote, to be held with…
As the caucus counts down to what many Labor MPs anticipate could be a high noon later this week, it seemed perfectly appropriate that Alastair Campbell, former spin doctor to Tony Blair, should turn up…
Julia Gillard has been hit by another bad poll at the start of the crucial final week of parliament, with Newspoll showing the ALP primary vote at 29%, down one point, and Tony Abbott widening the gap…
Labor’s paralysis over the prime ministership has become a disgrace. To have this bitter infighting drag on through the final fortnight of parliament is extraordinary self-indulgence. It reflects the stubbornness…
Julia Gillard likes to ham it up when she addresses the annual Parliamentary Press Gallery ball. She’s good at it too. So much so that Tony Abbott doesn’t even try to compete. At Wednesday night’s function…
Tony Abbott will release the Coalition’s “vision” for northern Australia today but avoid immediate big dollar promises by saying he would commission a White Paper on policy option. The White Paper, to…
The Senate has defeated a move to recognise same-sex marriages performed abroad, after a personal attack on Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young over the bill. The Coalition opposed the bill, which was defeated…
In early 1998, Mal Washer was asked to seek Liberal preselection for the West Australian seat of Moore, where he’d been in general practice for more than a quarter of a century. Washer was chosen unopposed…
Any troubles Tony Abbott has are tiddlers compared with Julia Gillard’s but, despite his repeated pleas for discipline, the opposition leader can’t stop a few cracks and breakouts. Today there were three…
Caucus has left it to next term’s Labor MPs to decide whether they want to reclaim the right to choose the frontbench. A move by retiring backbencher Steve Gibbons was deferred until after the election…
Economist Ross Garnaut has warned against over-playing the dangers of economic growth damaging the ecosystems that are important to life. Current patterns of economic growth had those effects, he said…
As Labor caucus members return to Canberra uncertain who will be PM at the end of this final fortnight parliamentary sitting, voters in the bellwether seat of Eden-Monaro are saying to them: just sort…
Julia Gillard’s pitch last week to female voters has backfired dramatically, with Labor’s primary vote in today’s Nielsen poll falling 3 points to 29% while support among men has plunged 7 points. With…
The timing couldn’t have been more apt. As the political debate this week was consumed by issues of gender and sexism, the Australian Defence Force announced it had uncovered yet another scandal involving…
Kevin Rudd will hit western Sydney today to do some high profile campaigning. For Labor, he would say. For the leadership, others would note. Rudd will be mobbed. He’ll visit schools in the electorates…
The Australian Defence Force is engulfed in a fresh sex scandal, with three members already suspended and under police investigation for allegedly circulating material demeaning women, and the conduct…
This started as a tale of how Julia Gillard overplayed the gender card, suffered a backlash, and then was saved by the appearance of a sexist menu from a Liberal fundraiser, that referred to her body parts…
