Crikey Calling: Labor in turmoil
Starting with the leadership spill that wasn’t and ending with a batch of Rudd supporters deserting the front bench, it’s been a tumultuous two days for Labor. Crikey’s Cathy Alexander joins Canberra correspondant Bernard Keane to talk about what happens next.

At present the triumvirate MSM/ABC/LNP, driven by profit, ineptitude and power, in that order, are pursuing and/or aiding and abetting the process of “regime change”!
One thing the public, the honest media and the progressive side of politics has to understand: the MSM/ABC/LNP alliance is your ENEMY. DO NOT FEED THEM!
SB, there is no such thing in the world as stopping boats. We don’t own the waters of the world, nor the borders or the boats.
Give it a rest.

Suzanne Blake and Marilyn Sheppard. Shining examples of deep ignorance and myopic viewpoint overreach respectively. Both of them unfortunately are doing themselves and the wider community a disservice.
Awaiting for Crikey to begin serious policy research and analysis befitting an alternative enlightened publisher.
Time to distance themselves from the personality cult and the tabloid fluff stuff of the deadwood media. Please focus on substance and on issues that are in the public and national interest. Good to see that the honest online media is expanding and are starting to counteract the “regime change” misinformation campaign by the MSM/ABC/LNP alliance.
Go, you contribute precisely nothing to anything.
I’m with Gocomsys - we need to see analysis and have discussion about Abbotts policies. Read the Liberal manifesto “Real Solutions for all Australians”
A look at the Bolt interview with Abbott - even Bolt was frustrated with his responses
Shep, I get consolation from the fact that I deeply care about the health of our democracy. At least I am not doing any harm, that is something isn’t it?
Why do you allow your constant, often outrageous over zealousness to impair the important and worthwhile refugee advocacy? You are turning people off. That is not a good look! Give it a rest!
Sheppy. Just read an article at Independentaustralia.net.
Sheesh, you are getting around, annoying everyone left right and centre. What are you trying to achieve? Some even might say it borders on “trolling”.
Prolific little Bugger aren’t you?
