@ Peter I'm sure Rudd will say all sorts of things. But I am equally sure that in years and decades to come he will be remembered as a media-whore and a termite. They (the ALP) really ought to cut him loose imo. Worst of all, it seems the termite's appetite remains insatiable ("Rudd...

With the ink now mostly dry on Kev's current commission as PM, the odds (as I type this, STC) are: Coalition -> $1.25 ALP -> $3.85

I don't care how much money he has in the bank or in mining tenements (or wherever he chooses to keep it), I could never vote for someone and ask them to look after Australia (if only at a small level) if they so obviously cannot look after themselves. (Yes, that is a reference to Mr Palmer's...

If they were there on merit, yes. But a fair percentage of these people get doors opened for them because of who they know and the bums they've licked and babies they've kissed [hopefully before the bums] along the way (Keating, for one, was manifestly unqualified to be CFO of Australia, let...

Australia's politicians set for $4500 pay rise AUSTRALIA'S federal politicians are set to enjoy a 2.4% pay rise within a month, meaning their annual salaries will have jumped by almost $55,000 in less than 18 months. And believe it or not, there is a chance there could be more to come...

None of the above. Just an observation I of mine with regards to the odds in the first post I made in this thread (I was right in this case btw - don't worry, I readily concede that I am typically and frequently wrong) - and that I have followed up on.

57 votes to 45 45 members of the ALP caucus who would rather have been totally destroyed in the forthcoming election, than have to serve again in government - if only for a matter of weeks - under Kevin Rudd. hahahaha

$1.15 Coalition (firmer) $5.00 ALP (drifted a bit)

With the ink on the result still not even dry, the odds have changed yet again: Coalition $1.18 ALP $4.35 11 days ago they were at $1.10 and $7.50.

Kevin Rudd. At least Julia gets to retire as a PM who didn't lose an election. Rudd, on the other hand....

Labor powerbroker Bill Shorten has all but guaranteed victory for Kevin Rudd in the leadership spill (7pm AEST) by backing the former PM. Read more: http://www.news.com.au/#ixzz2XJLFJBf4

Rudd is now $1.02 (yes, one dollar and two cents) Julia is now $11.00 All others are $51.00 Someone has dropped a bundle on Kev to win.

For real? He votes with the Coalition, but he has indicated that he would side with the ALP on this matter? The guy's even madder than I thought!

Yes.... instead of an utter shellacking, they will simply lose very badly. Which I imagine is important to MPs who are desperate to keep their six figure jobs. Ultimately I believe that is what will be Julia's undoing (as it was for Kevin when she took over) -> poor polls. It's the one...

Any other candidate - $26.00 Sorry Peter.....

$1.18 termite $4.50 the other one

K -> $1.20 J -> $4.25 Does the money know it's game over for Julia? And Coalition - now $1.16 (which was my breakeven for bets on the Coalition a week or so ago) ALP now $4.75 (they were $7.50, remember?)

re: TC's last post Yeah, and there are several MPs who have been very adamant that they will NOT work under Rudd again.... How good to their word will they be? I have mixed feelings about the spill tonight. I prefer Julia over Kevin. But at least if Kevin wins tonight, Julia will avoid...

I think she is controlling the time of the spill. She's done this before.... gets word of a spill and then she makes it happen asap.... gives Rudd's team less time to work the numbers. Like that time he mouthed off in the US, was sacked as Foreign Minister, she called a spill for...

K -> $1.50 J -> $2.45 Must be annoying being a bookie... from the perspective of constantly having to update odds so you don't end up with a lopsided position.
