More Julia Gillard on Wikipedia.We of course remember the days when the leader of the house was the bovver boy, stand over man of Australian politics, now he's just pathetic and this is just a pathetic resolution moved to try and guillotine this debate through this House from a minister who only yesterday ... was complaining about debate being guillotined.
Look, I don't think it's done me the world of good to receive Mark Latham's endorsement in these circumstances.
I did hear the rumour and it was completely untrue.
There is some merit in some of the things Barry says.
It is an act of hypocrisy from everybody who votes for it, we know this is about containing debate to try and keep dissenters in the cart in the desperate hope that none of them split on the floor today and if any of them in cocky's corner have got the courage of their convictions, they won't be voting for this, and they won't be voting for this legislation this afternoon.
It saddens me greatly to see Mark's loss of faith in the power of politics to make change for the better. It saddens me even more to see Mark's loss of faith in the Labor Party.
Labor has failed to do enough to present a courageous and coherent set of policies. We've got to outline our own vision for Australia, which I believe should include an independent foreign policy, bold social policy and economic policy that delivers prosperity for all.
