The man is ruthless and vindictive as Cameron will find having got into bed with the monster.

Kevin Rudd has called a leadership ballot for tomorrow morning which could see him lose with a general election due by November.

The Australian Labor Party has become spooked by a relentless campaign for 2 months now by all the Murdoch newspapers..which dominate in every city..yet they still lead in the polls as does Rudd.

Cross Murdoch as Rudd did and you are finished. The only upside could be Welsh born Julia Gillard, the only other candidate is extremely popular and this may backfire if she wins the ballot. The idea of the first female PM is highly appealing.

The Sun King giveth and taketh away.

Julia Gillard becomes the first female PM in Oz. Extemely sad for the Labor hero Kevin Rudd who routed conservatives just over 2 years ago.

I hope Murdoch rues the day he gave a directive to his editors to 'get Rudd'.

Gillard is from the left wing..benefits : troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq asap. ( and a victory for natural redheads)

Increased welfare spending...and she will be able to implement the new mining tax that has seen a ghastly conspiracy between Murdoch an foreign based tax avoiding companies looting natural assets.

All it takes is a shift of 200,000 votes out of 18 million to change government. Murdoch has now ensured every woman under 35 will vote Labor. Serves the old creep right.
