Coup in Australia - We have a new Prime Minister - our first female
Previous Title: Coup in Australia - in 10 hours we'll have a new leader

Out of nowhere, tonights TV viewing was interrupted with news of Julia Gillard challenging Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for the Prime Ministership of Australia.

He's just called a press conference and will put the leadership to a vote tomorrow morning.

Where the hell did this come from? He's always made decision that people saw as unpopular, but it's only now the Mining Millionaires have died in an plane explosion in Africa that he's being ousted.

That's not a coup. And they've been building up to this for months, since Labor Party realised that people found out that Kev is a dud.

Is that 40% tax on commodities the reason?

Neither, it'll be a Labor Party "caucus" vote. So that would be the Labor Party Members of Parliament and Senators I assume.

That's it, the factions battling it out.

Unconfirmable on another thread has it (from a backbencher) that Gillard has 75% of the vote at this stage.

He killed them for what though?
Because they were opposing it?
Ok makes sense, but Gillard is behind it as well.

Re: Coup in Australia - We have a new Prime Minister - our first female
10 minutes before the caucus meeting. ABC media all predicting a Gillard Win.

Of 4 MPs asked, 2 fo Gillard, 2 for Rudd.

Now speculation Rudd might step down, but probably not.

That's what they're talking about now.

Sure, Gillard followed the party line on everything, and stood behind her leader, but no one really knows where she stands on anything at this stage.

Rudd just arrived, flanked by minders, looking confident, with a flick of his hair.

Of 112 members voting this morning, it is understood by ABC that Gillard has at least 70.

Oh yeah, but seriously, WTF??? He seemed just as entrenched to all of us this time yesterday.

Gillard will be our first Female PM. They've always been a little more ugly than the men, wherever they've come to power.
