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.

 :lol
Yeah we're already going to vote for him mate, you don't need to keep selling it.....

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

Gillard - 71
Rudd 32

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
