Only 102 votes (one of the Labor MPs has just had a baby and won't be there on Monday)

I'll go 82 to 20 in Julia's favour.

It is a secret ballot and I reckon a few will change their minds at the last moment.

And then I think Rudd will resign and force a by-election.

She may be called from maternity leave if they're both locked on 51 each. Wouldn't that be a story and what pressure she would be under :help

Yes I found out this morning that to vote you had to be there but the MP who's just had the baby was excused and if it was a tie the winner would have drawn out of a hat  ;D

End of the day Kev's lost BADLY  :rollin

The result is another dent in labours future

They will be out of power for a very long time as long as that Witch is in power

Actually could be a bit of dent in Abbott's future daniel...he might actually have to debate policy now which he hasn't had to do for the last 6 months

Ooops I forgot he doesn't have a policy  ;D  :wallywink
