EXCLUSIVE: JULIA GILLARD WAS BEHIND KNIFING OF KEVIN RUDD!
Happier times; Julia Gillard and Maxine McKew in 2010
- Startling new revelations confirm Gillard behind Rudd coup
- Gillard slammed as an ambitious disloyal deputy
- A disgusting tale of an unrelenting lust for power and betrayal!!
It’s the latest chapter in the disgusting saga that simply refuses to abandon Julia Gillard, the way in which she plotted against her former boss to bring about his untimely downfall in a brutal night of a thousand knives.
Up until now, Julia Gillard has maintained her position that she knew nothing of the leadership coup plot hatched by faceless union officials including Bill Shorten, Mark Arbib and Paul Howes, however a new tell-all book by respected former ABC journalist Maxine McKew reveals that the leadership assassination had been “planned for months” and its very protagonist was the deputy leader herself Julia Gillard.
In her new book “Tales from The Political Trenches,” McKew reveals details of the sordid background campaign orchestrated by the then deputy leader to de-stabilise Kevin Rudd’s leadership and to ultimately over-throw him in what Labor Party figurehead John Faulkner calls “an act of political bastardry.”
“Gillard consistently represented herself as a last-minute conscript to the party leadership, as someone who was on the periphery of events right up until the final hours of the showdown against Rudd” writes McKew.
“The voting public never bought this. The manner of Rudd’s removal in June 2010 either bewildered or infuriated Australians. In turn, it fed a sense of illegitimacy about Gillard’s tenure and tainted much of what she has attempted since the election of 2010. “
“In the time since the June 2010 coup, a different and more complex story has emerged, one told by ministers and caucus members who feel they were manipulated into a rush of judgment against Rudd. They now see Rudd as the victim of an ambush carried out by a group of political mercenaries.”
According to McKew, John Faulkner said:
”For a party official to use party research to undermine a serving Labor prime minister – or any party leader for that matter – is quite improper and should never, never be tolerated. Unfortunately, this is just what happened in 2010. I am aware of caucus colleagues who were shown or handed research. I consider this was just sheer bastardry.”
The Prime Minister has refused to be drawn of these explosive new allegations.
“These issues have been well traversed in the past and I’m just not focused on them,” she said.
“I’ve actually dealt with all of these issues before on the public record and I just refer you to that. I haven’t got anything further to add. Have a look at everything that’s on the record and you’ll get the answer.”
In other words, “I’ve given you the answer I’m going to give you.”

This is dynamite.
McKew is reinforcing what we already suspected, joolya tells fibs. The rusted ons will tell us that Tony does too, but that’s of no importance in the electorate’s mind.
According to my script the PM should fall on her sword about now, head down and remorseful….yet she’s a fighter and may decide to carry on regardless of public humiliation.
Now you might think the next polls will produce the catalyst for a leadership spill, but no the politically skilful lady is bringing out a white paper tomorrow …which should see her out of the woods.
You will enjoy this then egg ..

Never under estimate the ability of the duopoly to implode.
I feel a coup coming on.
‘The Labor Party has exploded into open warfare at the highest levels following the defeat of the senior cabinet minister Penny Wong to the number one Senate ticket in favour of one of the lesser known faceless men who helped install Julia Gillard to the Prime Ministership in 2010.
‘Right-faction powerbroker Don Farrell defeated Senator Wong in a ballot today by 112 votes to 83 with the Finance Minister to be listed second on the South Australian Senate ballot paper at the next federal election.
‘Senior Labor frontbencher and left-faction figure Anthony Albanese let fly today at ‘‘union powerbrokers’’ saying Labor’s ongoing factional wars were evidence of a broken internal system.’

Le Gordo .. your Link quality is improving, Well Done!
Screwing over Wong does seem to indicate ..
Up-Coming Implosion.
• The media is just out of control when they publish articles that are disrespectful to Our Prime Minister
• Book publishers are just out of control when they can publish this information by a journalist
• Blogs are just out of control when they can publish stuff that reb writes.
There should be a law against it.
In some people’s minds McKew is a party rat.
Just sayin’
The media is just out of control when they publish articles that are disrespectful to Our Prime Minister
I agree …
In some people’s minds McKew is a party rat.
Or just a one hit wonder trying to make a quid … at other peeple’s expense … that’d make her a Robber Baron … gone to the Dark Side …
<Winter is coming!
TB .. From the snippets of McKew`s book the embedded media have been using, McKew seems to be confirming what some of us suspected.
rL, I agree … BTW … it just pisses me off that these DH just don’t get that they represent US (that’s Aussies not the USAofA)…
The nonsense with Penny Wong just highlights that … I don’t particularly like her slow (I speak slowly so you can understand what I’m saying, moron) drawl … but I respect her achievements … obviously the NSW ALP don’t! I know who the morons are …
And as an ALP supporter of 44 years (I couldn’t vote till I was 21 … and by that time I was drafted!) … I get really pissed off with the disgusting standards of the modern ALP – highjacked by arseholes of the kind you would once only find in the Liberal Party or National Party … these days, politically, I have NOWHERE to fkn TURN!
And I refuse to defend Fuckwits™ … of any kind!
ToM’s, repititions are just obvious Liberal regurgitations …
Wally’s, rant’s are just that …
James, the wannabe radio announcer from Bolt City … and …
… egg, every “team” needs followers …
BUT … the defecating on the ALP … doesn’t make the LibNits smell like roses … my own state is being desecrated by the Noddy Newman Storm Troopers … I wait with some trepidation their midnight book burning … that will be the night I hit the streets not the keys … as I did during JBP’s dictatorship … believe me … ALP spending aside … Noddy wants to bend us to his will … and …
… no-one controls me, or my family!!!!
Winter is coming!
As, Ser Tee, will tell …

Fully with you on that TB.
This seems to getting more common for more of us as far as I can tell. The duopoly fckwits are not impressing any of my family, friends and neighbors either, even rusted`s have become wd40`s.
Albanese got the last bit dead right!
Senator Wong previously ran in the Number 2 spot in 2007 but the outcome is regarded as embarrassing because Ms Wong is now one of the government’s most senior ministers.
The decision sparked a furious response from federal Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese. “This is an act of self indulgence which highlights the need for ongoing reform of the Australian Labor Party, Mr Albanese told The Sunday Telegraph.
“Penny Wong is obviously our most talented Senator from South Australia. Full stop. End of Story. Full Stop.
“ALP operatives need to understand that the end audience is always the voting public, not ourselves,” he said.
http://www.news.com.au/national/kevin-rudds-description-of-leadership-coup/story-fndo4bst-1226504567073
Yes TB, Albanese was right-
• The most senior woman in the Senate
• The first female Finance Minister
• One of the ALP’s best performers
• A recent mother
• An articulate spokesperson for homosexual rights.
…gets dumped for a time serving, irreverent union hack!
Welcome to misogyny ALP style.
“This is an act of self indulgence”
tru dat
The whole bloody bunch of them tell fibs! That’s why Macquarie dictionary is changing the word Liar to Politician!
LOL! to the stamp!

Noddy Newman Storm Troopers
Unfknblvble…
I listened to Gillard on AM this morning. Yet again she refused to address anything contained in McKew’s book.
When questioned she just launched into her prepared recitation of talking points for a couple of minute – “Oim looken tatha fewcha” was the favourite.
When she talks about foreign affairs, I cringe. It reminds me that friends overseas will probably hear a few grabs and judge this country on the basis of her leadership.
What is it with the leftards and abuse?
You will be happy to hear that Treeman at the cafe has the warminista on the run and they have now created a special thread for heretical views on climate change.
Unfknblvble…
Insightful as always … 😛
I put my faith in Essential….nooze sucks.
http://essentialvision.com.au/category/essentialreport
‘Those most likely to think the economy was good/very good were aged 18-34 (46%).
‘Those most likely to think the economy was poor/very poor were aged 65+ (33%) and respondents from Queensland (44%).’
Blame Noddy Newman…
Newspoll is being manipulated no question.
Newspoll is being manipulated no question.
Unfknblvble…
If it’s not, TB, and it’s thought reasonably accurate, Labor would call an election today.
Who would “manipulate” fkn Rupert’s rag … except Rupert … he’s tried to do that since he took control … but you woule be too young to know his history …
Here’s a news.com.au headline …
Woods loses it as McIlroy claims win
Woods didn’t “lose it” as we know the phrase … he graciously lost .. as we know him … FFS!
There was a question in news.com.au … that a busy father and student such as yourself missed … it was to do with the Government’s latest white paper on Australia’s closer integration with OUR part of the world … the government has proposed that Australian children learn some of the local languages … Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese or a Chinese Mandarin or Cantonese (I’d want Mandarin) … as I learnt French and German at primary school in England … a decade after WWII …
Do you know what the question was from NEWS.com.au … ?
Should Australian children be forced to learn an Asian language? FORCED! FMD … we live in Asia not fkn Europe …
What about …
Is it a good idea that Australian children should learn and Asian language?
if you don’t “get” the subtleties of the ENGLISH language then study enigineering … “yesterday I couldn’t spell engineer … today I are one” …
If Newspoll is “manipulated” … its NOT in the Government’s favour …
Labor would call an election today.
Why? It’s all downhill from here ….
Unfknblvble…
Hey?
‘If Newspoll is “manipulated” … its NOT in the Government’s favour …’
Rupert might be manipulating, can’t say for sure, but the strategy would be to lull the government into thinking joolya can win the election.
The main aim is to stop the Ruddster becoming PM before the election.
If Labor thought for a second they could win an election called now they would call it… Now.
1. Because that surplus isn’t going to happen and
2. Because Tony Abbott might get replaced as leader.
Getup or some such organization has worked out how to influence poll results. It’s a way of trying to influence public opinion.
Politics inevitably gets dragged to the centre, when political parties take a harsh philosophical position, such as workchoices, there is an electoral backlash. Workchoices was a political lesson and that’s why it is unlikely to be repeated.
Since there is limited differentiation on policy grounds-
• Marriage equality
• Asylum seekers
• General economic policy
• Overall foreign policy & defence
…the most rational basis for choice is on the basis on integrity. Therefore neither party is worthy of a vote.
Oh and I don’t think it’s News Ltd doing the manipulation.
and it’s thought reasonably accurate By whom … LOL!
Rupert might be manipulating, can’t say for sure … But your prodigy IS … LOL!
AND WHY IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO YOU that a news OWNER manipulates ANY fkn POLITICAL STRATEGY … Rupert Murdoch’s organisation is “LICENSED” to REPORT not MANIPULATE … that’s what people are up in arms about … and you find it acceptable? As it seems, does, James …
… in normal society it’s called CONFLICT OF INTEREST!
Oh and I don’t think it’s News Ltd doing the manipulation.
Oh … so who is it (in your opinion – Alan Jones)? They generally do …
“Newspoll is being manipulated no question.”
You are joking, right? No? Oh my.
I suppose there is no other rational explanation. It couldn’t be that people appreciate the government’s balance of fiscal prudence and visionary nation-building measures. It couldn’t be that people are fed up with Abbott’s neanderthal negativity. No, clearly none of these.
It is actually personally devastating to see someone who has earned respect as a fair-minded commenter morph into a cretinous caricature of Pauline Hanson’s most sycophantic devotees.
* Why is Julia foisting compulsory Asian languages at great cost upon our children. Some kids hate learning a different language. What’s the use of a kid coming out of school being able to do little more with his/her schoolyard Mandarin other than order deep fried rather than steamed dim sims ?
* Most business people in Asia speak English anyway
* Most Asian countries already have compulsory English classes.
* Hindi ? Most younger Indians already speak English
and it’s thought reasonably accurate “By whom … LOL!”
What are you “LOL”ing at here? The idea that some people might find the Newspoll results accurate? Because that’s the hypothetical I was putting.
It’s interesting that apparently (union hack/factional warlord) Don Farrell will step aside from the number 1 Senate spot in SA.
It’s a great political party that has a faceless man volunteer to make way for the high performing woman. The ALP itself can’t deliver this outcome, only hack can provide the patronage to Wong.
It’s remarkable how many (Albanese is the latest) are now agreeing that the structure of the ALP is fundamentally f**ked, I seem to recall making this point about 5 years ago, only to be shouted down by some ignorant barrackers.
Getup or some such organization has worked out how to influence poll results. It’s a way of trying to influence public opinion.
Is there any logic to your posts?
When the Newspoll results are in the LibNits favour, the right whingers (who keep reincarnating themselves 🙄 ), are all over them … when they are moving in the government’s favour then they are “manipulated” … LOL!

And FMD! The Bullet Point Kids ride again …

Is Miss Gillard’s white paper 1 or 2 ply and absorbent ?
“Should Australian children be forced to learn an Asian language? FORCED! FMD … we live in Asia not fkn Europe …”
Yeah, I saw that survey question the other day and just groaned. If ever there was evidence that News Limited is anti-Labor, that was a prime example…
TB, is there any logic to the Newspoll’s wildly erratic poll results? It seems to be a trend that every second Newspoll has the parties at 50/50, which is at odds with every other polling outfit, bar Morgan’s face to face, which is known to be favourable to Labor due to its method.
I suspect there is a form of “poll seeding” going on. It is designed to “make mainstream” the view that we have a competent government, which is what “blog seeding” is all about. Remember when a few of us were laughed at for suggesting that lefties flooded blogs and online news comments then the Democrats actually advertised the role?
Remember when a few of us suggested that the HSU fraud was likely to be more widespread than just a rogue buying a couple of hookers?
Remember when a few of us suggested that there might be some overstatement of the extent and causes of climate change?
“Morgan’s face to face, which is known to be favourable to Labor due to its method.”
Would you care to elaborate on this fanciful claim?
Obviously the weather is being manipulated in the North Eastern states of the US. Hurricane Sandy is clearly something cooked up in Area 54 to give Obama the opportunity to display Presidential leadership in a crisis. It is one of the biggest storms ever and just a week out from the election – coincidence? I don’t think so!
Well, Reb, this paper talks a bit about it in detail, but it’s pretty boring.

It’s more a vibe I get from the “poll people” on Twitter etc that it’s a “given” that Morgan face to face has a biased result for Labor. I think you follow the same people, maybe not, so you must surely have heard the same analyses.
To save you complete tedium, the conclusion contains this paragraph….
The estimates of daily vote shares suggest that there was a 2 percentage point shift
towards the government over the course of the campaign, almost all of it coming in
the opening weeks of the campaign. Substantial biases specific to polling companies
are also apparent: Morgan and the ANU/ninemsn Internet polls systematically
underestimate Coalition support by large magnitudes. On the other hand, the
average bias of the telephone-based polls is small, and on the threshold of statistical
significance at conventional levels.
‘It is one of the biggest storms ever’
That’s not true.
You are correct Gordo – it is a hurricane, not a storm. And it is clearly a classic example of weather manipulated for political purposes. We should call it the Hurricane Newspoll.
I can’t see any basis for a conspiracy theory here. If you do enough polls (and we have a surfeit of them) you will get outlier results.
It is quite possible that Gillard has gained some recent traction and people are tiring of Abbott’s scare campaigns and that these factors are reflected in this poll. Anyway there will be more and yet more polls. Let’s wait and see if there is a trend
By the time it reaches land it will not be a hurricane, only a storm, but the flood surge will cost a lot of money to clean up.
And neither side of politics will talk about global warming.
“It’s more a vibe I get from the “poll people” on Twitter etc that it’s a “given” that Morgan face to face has a biased result for Labor”
I see. It’s “the vibe…”. 😯
Wow, Reb, way to excise half of what I’ve written!!
I did actually link to and quote an academic paper as well in case you hadn’t noticed.
Oh come now James, you expect me to read some 20 page disertation on polling…? You concluded yourself that ultimately it was just “the vibe”.
(not that there’s anything wrong with that)…
I quoted the conclusion!!!!
But yes, I follow on Twitter the various so called experts on the subject and there seems to be broad agreement that the Morgan face to face poll is skewed towards Labor.
Morgan has always been biased towards Labor…..trust only Essential.
It’s more a vibe I get from the “poll people” on Twitter
Glad I diddn’t answer the previous question on the HSU and climate change* (wishful thinking and gussing sometimes wins the Lottery too)
* You may recall that I have often claimed (as many of my generation do) to be agnostic on the weather front (pun intended) …
… as for HSU, you may recall that I have always maintained that the law take it’s course (whatever that may be) … something that you have tended to bypass on more than one occasion and go with gut feeling (or “I believe” or now “the vibe”)…
… my approach as been unchanged for over 30 decades … identify the facts, not the fiction … and never rely on speculation, mights, coulds, or maybes, especially when dealing with people’s lives …
… but then I only studied business law, contract law, H&S and the law of torts … what would I know … 🙄
Well you don’t seem to have learned a helluva a lot, TB, you keep mistaking this blog for the Supreme Court, when it suits you of course.
‘You may recall that I have often claimed (as many of my generation do) to be agnostic on the weather front (pun intended) …’
Its generally believed old white guys are sceptical on CC, clearly you don’t take weather seriously.
blog/blôg/
Noun:
A Web site on which an individual or group of users record opinions, information, etc. on a regular basis.
“I believe” and “the vibe” are expressions I use to place context around my contributions. Are you suggesting that I should only ever post what I know to be fact?
… my approach as been unchanged for over 30 decades … identify the facts, not the fiction … and never rely on speculation, mights, coulds, or maybes, especially when dealing with people’s lives …
Bullshit.
Bullshit
Except probably the 30 decades bit
“identify the facts, not the fiction … and never rely on speculation, mights, coulds, or maybes, especially when dealing with people’s lives …”
Now where’s the fun in that…?
“… my approach as been unchanged for over 30 decades …”
“Its generally believed old white guys are sceptical on CC, clearly you don’t take weather seriously.”
He must really be a sceptic seeing that he is 30 Decades old
My we are fired up today …
Are you suggesting that I should only ever post what I know to be fact?
Far be it from me to suggest anything to you, James …
I blame the polls TB. The rightards always get a bit tetchy when Labor edges up on the Libs….

LOL! Yeah, well got
Waer 2DT … my bad! LOL! I see Serious Stan missed it though!There was a few 400 year begets in the bible … that’s probably bullshit though … I just have a vibe about that …

I quite like baguettes, particularly with a nice blue cheese and a glass (or two) of cab sav….

How could you fit two of everything on a boat?
Who and how would you feed them?
How would you stop them from eating each other…?
Who would clean out the shit….?
It’s all bollocks! Like everything else in the so-called “bible”…..
The barrackers must be so proud of Our Prime Minister!
Having developed a range of innovative policies on asylum seekers*, all with the objective of punishing innocent people (for their own good), she has gone to a point that Howard could only dream about!
Excising Australian from its obligations to protect innocent people fleeing persecution!
Stand proud Australia!!
OI!OI!OI!
*innovative policies include-
• Off shore =
BOO!!Hooray!• East Timor =
Hooray!I never said East Timor• Malaysia =
Hooray!!Blame Abbott, because it’s a wonderful policy• Nauru =
BOO!!HOORAY!!‘It’s all bollocks!’
You have a healthy scepticism on religion, that’s a start.
They didn’t fit EVERYTHING on the Ark. The unicorn missed out. Although a fair few Lefties see them from time to time.
The government has done a complete backflip on asylum seekers, but the rusted ons are comfortable because its been handed down by a higher authority….the Houston Committee.
Those of us with a sceptical bent recognise joolya is trying to save face.
Ahhh … Sanctimonious Sam has found a sense of humour …
I’ve decided to watch the original Gunfight at OK Corral … rather than … X Factor … frighteningly, The MInister is a fan!!!!!

Will post later tomorrow … FYI he was in my first “band ” a bunch of fifteen yo with guitars and me on drums … scary shit! 😦
Missy Gillard is excising the entire mainland from the refugee zone.
I think the refugees will now “need a bigger boat” since the only places left they can head to now are Norfolk Island or Tasmania
I think the radio surveys are being manipulated.
Alan Jones’ ratings went up by half a percent according to Herald Sun website.
That means he increased his audience by about three percent. And apparently most of his advertisers have come back and will be paying higher rates entering a new ratings period.
It pays to be nasty.
I suspect a Lot of noise-polls are taken in Toorack, the North Shore and Holt Street, Surry Hills where Rupert`s and Mr-Rabbit`s minions dwell.
“I’ve decided to watch the original Gunfight at OK Corral … rather than ”
The gunfight never happened in a Corral and Mr Earp was originally a brothel owner who was also happy to pimp his wife out believe it or not.
Why did Noah rescue cockroaches ?
‘Why did Noah rescue cockroaches ?’
He didn’t want to but they came onboard anyway, along with rats and every type of conceivable vermin. He would have needed a bigger boat, not that puny ark.
” every type of conceivable vermin. ”
No, the Climate Deniers didn`t make it onto Noah`s Ark.
They relied on their magic garmies.
Meanwhile the media continue to excuse Gillard from her volte face/back flip/u-turn on asylum seekers. The silence is deafening.
It’s beyond me how ALP barrackers can continue to “blame the media” when their incompetent and dishonest leader has occupied every conceivable position on this issue.
I heard Bowen on AM this morning, someone I used to highly regard. He’s proved to be just as underhanded and sleazy as any of them.
It is bizarre that anyone can still vociferously support this government, they deserve a showering of phlegm.
“a showering of phlegm”
LOL!
I spit in your phace … LOL!
