Smart move.
Considering the backlash Gillard is going to get from the people in the next election in terms of her policies especially the carbon tax for the time being that Greens honeymoon is over. They will be lucky to have 1 seat after the next election in the Lower House.
We are going to see a QLD type backlash and the Libs only have to shut up and hold their fire to cash in. No Hewson type errors to give Labor any ammunition and they will romp in.
